Hey folks, i'm 22, i live on a little over an acre of free land I can use for farming some veggies and such, and I want to raise some chickens, perhaps a pair of goats. I really have no idea what I am doing, but I have an old clubhouse I can convert into a nice chicken coop, though I may want to expand and make it bigger, I don;t know if I should keep it raised off the ground as it is, or if i should use a floor (what kind?) or put it on the ground level, with a buried barrier to prevent digging animals from getting under the wall (i've read this) etc, I have so many questions, and there;s a ton of information, but its too much for me to take in at once, could anyone offer some solid beginner advice for me to get started, keep in mind I plan to build on the initial design and maximize my growing so i can get as much out of my yard as possible, and I would like to use as much synergy as possible without having a ton of expense (like letting the chickens free range to tear up weeds and dirt so I don't have to plow it for veggies, etc)
any advice is appreciated, thanks!
