New to chickens

[DavidSheri1506]

Hello! Building a new family-size chicken (egg production) coop on our small far and am in need of any tips/tricks that will help us make it a success!

Welcome. How exciting! I’m new to chickens too but loving it. My advice would be to build it bigger than you actually need and definitely make it predator proof for your area. Good luck!
