Good morning!

I’m brand new to the idea of raising chickens. I’m a planner so I’m looking to learn how to raise chickens, the pitfalls to avoid. Also looking for chicken coup best plans; something cute but serviceable and safe for my chickens.

I’m hoping y’all can provide me with everything I need to know.

You are already off on the right foot by doing all your research before getting chicks.
Please do spend lots of time not only reading articles but also the comments that come along with them as well as reading lots of threads on topics that you would like to learn more about. Enjoy!

Hi and welcome to the flock!

This place is a great resource for someone like yourself who wants the very best for their birds. Aside from checking out the above posted links you can also start a new thread with a request for something like "what are your coop MUST HAVES?" or "who has a cute looking coop?" People love to show off and will be happy to provide their own stories and pics that can help you come up with your perfect build.
