Obviously I'm new to the thread but I've had chickens since I was 12. My father saw chickens in the front yard of somebody's home and said, "I want to do that some day, own chickens.". Me bein a kid asked, "Why not? Why don't we have anyway.". Which sparked a realization in his mind which was 'yeah, why don't I have chickens and what's keepin me from owning some'. Not knowing what I just did or the responsibility that came with it, he decided to get them a few weeks later with me bein his little helper. I've helped my old man raise more than 50 of them at one time and continued to do so for over a decade. Always loved it even during the winter time where we had to make sure they have water constantly. Now I'm a man like my father and want some chickens of my own. My girl didn't believe me when I said I wanted to build a coop and get some. Now I'm in the middle of the process and she's stunned yet supportive. I joined this sight after knowing about it for more than half my life and want to share my experience of building a coop and raising my own flock. I hope you enjoy and even maybe give me some good advice along the way.
. Spring will EVENTUALLY get here, huh? In the meantime, I will don my coveralls, hat, boots and gloves and trudge outside, all the while wishing for warmer weather.
