Hello all,
My name is Ken and I'm inspired by my daughter and her husband who have been raising chickens for a while (over 10 years). First in Chicago and now in Detroit. I haven't taken the plunge yet as I'm still unsure what kind of chicken coup I should build that would pass the HOA ACC scrutiny. I'd like to build one to enable up to 12 hens but start out with maybe 6 to help me get my feet wet.
I live in Fort Worth, so it does get really hot. The chicken coup and run would be under trees, so they would be in the shade. I also wouldn't have any electricity out there. My wife and travel a bit, so I'm also wondering how best to handle things when away. Sometimes for over a month.
Well, that's it for now. Any words of encouragement or idea on coups would be welcome.
Cheers,
Ken
