So happy to join your community

I grew up with chickens, but have been away from that for decades. So this is my first real flock on my own. Got my chicks in the brooder and we are building the coop this weekend. Been trying to get all the information I can to make it the best for my babies. Lol live in Pennsylvania and because of predators will be securing it up the best we can. I am so amazed at how many different personalities they have.

Just make sure your coop has plenty of ventilation and that there's enough square footage in your coop and run to prevent overcrowding issues. Here's some links to help keep you on track:
