It all began when I couldn't get the coop I was looking for. Finally I did but somehow I was destined to buy one. I wanted to hire someone to build one for me, either no on called me back or they said my idea was "impossibe". That led me to build my own coop. It took lot longer then expected...

I've longed for chickens for many, many years, but I spent many of those years in apartments, where it just wasn't possible. A little over two years ago my wife Erin and I bought our first home together. It's a small property in a development, but has enough room for a small flock. We were...
