    Great ! love seeing others wanting Ckens too :-) I would agree , backyardchickens is a great blog. Also the book, A Guide to Raising Chickens.. great resourse to have on hand. a couple things. Ckens do NOT sleep in boxes UNless it is the Highest perch in the room :-0 Boxes r 4 laying & nesting. Take into account ( I'm in IA) colder climates have different needs. also , ckens actually handle the cold better then Heat.. Make sure your coop has windows that function & alllow air to circulate. we used Old storm windows , putting them in UPside down & Opening to the outside :-) that way we could open them & or shut them depending on need. Inside we covered the window opening with cken wire to keep preditors out. hope that gives you some ideas ..

    I have never before raised chickens, and I have never built anything in my life, but I needed a chicken coop and I didn’t have the funds for a store bought one. A quick Google search brought me to Building a Chicken Coop by Bill Keene 🐔🏠.


    Bill promised to simplify the process of building a chicken coop from scratch and provide all the information I would need to successfully keep my own chickens.


    Most importantly Mr. Keene provides a 60 day money back guarantee, which made the purchase risk free. Either it was everything he promised or I got my money back.


    He also includes lots of bonus material, I was really excited about bonus number four, a pdf file titled: The Cheapest Materials to Build Your Coop Out Of.


    It all sounded ideal for my needs, and I ordered right away.


    It was just what I needed, and it sounds like you do too!


    Here's a link to his site. Good luck! It's not too hard once you know what to do :)
