Hello all!   I am new here and also from PA.   I am in SE PA.

I live in a suburb of Philly----are there lots of chicken raising folks from my neck of the woods on here?

I like your Avatar. I grew up outside of Philly (Delco) I am now in Chester County. Building the coop first? Imagine that!
 
Welcome new people! Build a coop first? Interesting concept. Seems I always need more space, coops, dividing runs, brooders, incubators, you name it.
When you decide to get your birds, ask us, we'll be happy to confuse you about what you think you want. Within a year I had 0 of my original birds, totally switched breeds when I discovered what was available, along with adding species!
 
SOOO How many are planning on going to the picnic tomorrow?
Me, Me, was gonna fry up some chicken , but really do not feel like cooking......store bought goodies will be coming instead.

I need this concept explained also......How do you know what size to build if you do not get birds first???

New people joined. People bought new chickens. People hatched new chickens. People bought some turkeys. People wil have new goats. People want to go to Knoebels. Think that sums it up!
