New to raising chickens...starting from “scratch.”

Welcome to Backyard Chickens! We are glad you joined the flock!:welcome BYC is a helpful site providing all of the information you need to know about poultry. There is always space for members on the BYC roost!:highfive:

I would provide plenty of ventilation only because Florida gets hot summers. Adequate space in the run and constructing the coop in a shady place is important as well. Just from experiencing the hot weather in Texas, I don't believe my flock would of survived if I hadn't setup their run in a corner with the shady trees.

Hope you enjoy it here as much as we all do!
 
Hi and welcome to BYC

On this link you'll find lots of information on almost every aspect of keeping birds - from coop building ideas, to incubating eggs - https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/

Each week, various topics are discussed, which can be a great resource - https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/topic-of-the-week-thread-archives . Ditto the Learning Centre - https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/

This is a useful link of BYC guides to take a look at announcements-feedback-issues-guides.3 I’d suggest including your location using the guide in that link. You can use this link to contact members in your area - Find your State's thread.

Best wishes and good luck with your coop build
