Hello!
My husband and I will be converting a 12'x8' shed into a chicken coop. We haven't had chickens before (outside of when he was a kid). Any advice/tips out there for first timers? Things you guys wish you would have thought about? Tips on keeping it clean? I've read they can share nesting boxes? We plan to build a large enclosed run for them for when we aren't home and let them free range when we are home. I'm a bit worried with coyotes, bald eagles, etc...We can hear coyotes at night and we have eagles all over.
We currently have 15 chicks in the garage (all different breeds) and might be adding two silkies.
Thank you guys!!
