New urban chicken owner

[Urbanwiscochickens]

I recently found out my wife purchased chickens from the feed store she works at. I had chickens when I was a kid on the farm, but this will be a first for both of us raising urban chickens. Our chicks will be here next week. I have been researching a few different coop layouts and am ready to get started.
