New to the coop

[CuriousQueen]

Hi, I don’t have any chickens yet. I have been reading about them for the past several months. I plan to get some fertilized eggs or breeders this spring.
As soon as it warms up enough for me to drag my husband’s tools out I am redoing an old shed for a coop. I look forward to seeing pictures of some of yalls. I’m in Kansas City Mo. It is just my husband Rodger, me, 5 dogs and 5 cats.
Well two of the cats are wild but we still take care of them.
My other hobbies are soap making, along with other bath or scented products.
I’m trying to learn to sew. I have a saltwater aquarium as well.
Well that’s me
I can’t wsit to learn about you ~

Glad you're here !

A must have for your poultry is a FIRST AID KIT for any issues that would arise. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/suggestions-for-a-first-aid-kit.1150128/)
It's definitely better to have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it.

Also, make sure your coop(s) have a proper amount of VENTILATION. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...-there-and-cut-more-holes-in-your-coop.47774/) Your chickens will absolutely thank you for it!
