Newbie in VA!

[LibbyLuLu]

Hello all,
I'm Olivia. I live in Stafford, VA and I'm just starting my dream of keeping chickens. I'm having such a hard time finding coops that are sturdy, so I joined this group for advice, support, and feedback. Love to hear any suggestions for getting started with chickens. I don't plan to buy any chicks until I figure out the coops, so I have some time to figure this out. Thanks!

Hi Olivia, thanks for joining us! You're better off saving money on a pre-built coop and make one of your own. There are 100's of coops built by members here, including some that started as a shed such as @DobieLover mentioned: chicken-coops.12

Best wishes!
