Hi everyone, I lead a Platoon of volunteers in my community. Thru the missioncontinues.org I have taken a High School as our very first project. We recently improved their garden and now looking to add a chicken coop. We are a non for profit organization led by veterans but working together with community members. I have very little experience with chickens and will only help with building their coop. One of the teachers has lots of experience and their goals is to raise 30 to 45 chickens.

I hope to learn from all of you and maybe someone can point me in the right direction on finding free plans.

Thank you
