Yay for chickens!

[hommel]

Hi everybody,
I'm fairly new to chicken keeping and need to get into gear to finally build a coop for my ladies. We currently have 12 and will probably keep it at that for now.

@hommel Great to have you join us tell us of your girls and maybe even yourself how old are the new chickies

Thanks @penny1960! We have 2 separate flocks of relatively young girls. The first set of chicks (2 Blue Cochins, 1 BO, 1 RIR, 1 Welsummer & 1 Ancona) we got 1 week apart in late Feb/early Mar. Then another hodgepodge set in mid April (2 silver-laced Wyandotte, 1 gold-laced Wyandotte, 1 Barred Rock & 3 Ameraucanas). We're in the process of researching hen houses right now which is proving interesting, especially since I haven't built anything in my life (not counting IKEA furniture).

Pay close attention to the coop threads then, even the novice will get ideas and guidance from those of us I was fortunate to be raised by a carpenter
