My husband definitely feels coffee is a hobby for that perfect cup of brew in the morning or after dinner treat. Welcome! You may like the coop ideas look around read about what you do and don’t want. Most of all check laws and ordinances in your area with your local planning commission to see what you have to do to own fowl and place a structure on it. They may require application, permits, dictate structure, number of birds, if Roos are permitted or not etc. Here are the various coop ideas. Good Luck ! Have fun! And check out the Learning Center on raising chickens.
