New to the game, no pun intended

[OmeletteYouWin]

We are new to the chicken raising lifestyle. We reside in southwest Ohio, outside of Cincinnati.Any tips or secrets would greatly be appreciated. We currently have 6 chicks now(3 Rhode Island Reds, and 3 Amberlinx) and they are doing great. We do feel a little overwhelmed by the coop building prospect. We need to build a permanent coop, so any ideas from the crowd would be great! Thanks
