Hi everyone...just wanted to step in here quickly. My family and I live in a suburban setting but a large enough yard to build a small coop and raise byc...our chicks are just 3 weeks old and as lively as can be. We are looking forward to the fun and learning experience that comes with this responsibility. We have 1 Rhode Island Red and the other 5 are pullets. any tidbits of info would be welcome.

what an awesome coop. Ours is not finished quite yet. We have another 5 weeks before the chicks will be grown to go outside. I live in NW Indiana and was worried about the weather, but ...DUH...the Tractor supply store that sells the chicks assured me they are bred for our weather...Only makes sense. lol My kids are grown, but have 3 darling g-children that are getting more excited everyday.
