Hello all!
Another future chicken crazy person here! I’ve lurked for a while, but I decided to join so I could interact with all of the fun posts and people.
I spent my childhood on a small farm (sadly without chickens) then wound up in suburbia for about fifteen years. Spouse and I finally have a couple acres in the country (had to compromise with my city boy and didn’t buy an entire farm
) and we plan on getting chickens next year.
I like to garden and plan to use my chickens as pest help where possible, but I know my layers especially will become big pets because I love critters of all kinds except spiders and most things with legs in excess of four. A brown recluse bit me and stinging bugs send me to the hospital, so I’m holding a grudge!
I’d love to be able to build my own coop, but I have a couple conditions that make it physically difficult for me to do heavy building work, so I think I’ll have to have someone local build a coop or convert a storage shed into a coop, so if anyone knows of good threads for shed conversions, please point me in that direction.
Looking forward to learning new things with y’all!
