Not a spring chicken - starting a flock

[Alder Fox]

Hi all! I found this site through a youtube comment. It has been MANY years since I've been a member of a forum (old BBS anyone?).

But it looks like all the info I'll need is right here, phew! I've got lots of reading to do! My husband and I bought our house a few years ago with the hopes of raising our own food. We think 2020 is our year to finally start - with chickens. I'm here to find out if the space we have is going to work or if we need to rethink our design before we start building. I'm eager to get started but also don't want to rush into anything, the main objective is a healthy and happy flock!

Anyway, I'm looking forward to meeting new folks and learning all about this chicken-keeping thing!

thank you! It was somebody giving a tour of their chicken coop. I've been watching several trying to figure out what will work for us!
