Moved out of the city recently, thank goodness. Not a city girl. I have never had chickens before, although almost everyone else in my family has had them at some point. I also have a fear of birds(except birds of prey, makes no sense) thanks, Dad, for letting me watch The Birds at six years old, and thanks to my sister's huge, giant, did I say ,huge and mean Leghorn rooster, Pete. But, for some reason, I have recently developed a strong urge to have chickens. So now I have eight adorable little Barred Rocks residing in my dining room and a coop under construction.
works commercial construction, and is very often given construction materials, that is why we are doing 10x10 blocks, that way we can add extra run or coop, and change configuration by bolting them together. Also not sure yet how may will be hens and roos yet, but will definitely keep space in mind. Also planning to allow some free-range time. Thanks for the input, I am use all I can get.
