when my husband asked me about how to build a chicken coop i was able to give him a reply that was backed up by blueprints and research from the internet.
oh man! they fight sometimes. i hope they are not too bad about waking you up in the morning. chickens can be very sweet though!
we currently have australorps, rhode island reds, barred plymouth rocks, and welsummer, but of the ended up being roosters. ugh!
