Hi there! (Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada) I recently purchased a home in the country and have always wanted chickens :) I am completely new at this and need all the help and info I can get! I would like to build the coop from recycled material to keep it green and it also has to be able to withstand the cold winters we get here. If anyone could send me in the direction for some plans that would be great. I also need all the basic begginer info. (how to care, feed, etc.) Thanks so much everyone and hope to hear from you!

You might take a look at the Learning Center link below - it is chock full of great information as you start you chicken adventure. Below that is a link where you can locate, talk with and learn from locals. Good luck and have fun!

As you can see, there is a lot of things you can use and do! Have fun and post pics of your coop when it's done so we can see.
 
I'm having a hard time finding detailed plans for a coop. I'm looking for something that is step by step with measurements. I am pretty handy although I like to follow instructions. Any help would be much appreciated!
