Hi all!
We are just entering the chickie world this spring, and plan on having about 8-10 chickens. I need so much guidance, so I hope you all can help. First, do you have suggestions on where to find coop plans? I want something that looks nice, matching our house and barn. Second, would you recommend we get chicks, or hatch the babies from eggs? Third, we need breeds that are super kid-friendly and pretty calm. We have 5 little kids and there is a lot of action around here, so I'd love some advice on suitable breeds. (cold-hardy too.) And lastly, do we have to have a rooster?? I don't necessarily need fertilized eggs.
Thanks so much for your help!
