Answer this Hometalker's question!o
First, make sure this is legal in your area. Many municipalities prohibit the raising of agricultural animals/fowl, or have limitations on size and location within your oroperty lines. Keep in mind this is going to restrict your ability to be away from home for any length of time. Chickens may need incubators for eggs, heating mats, additional electrical and water lines, protection from predators, etc.
Hey Flo are you zoned by the county to have chickens? Please check with your local government to see if your property is allowed chickens. If you are then go to YouTube and type in your "search" how to build a chicken coop. There are various ways to do it. Also you need to think about some type of fencing you don't want the chickens wandering off and getting devised. If you have a dog you need to keep them separated unless it's a border collie-then you can put him to work keeping the chickens safe. Good luck to you. I really admire what you are doing.
Raising chickens is a commitment and not to be taken lightly. These little animals rely on you for their care. They need to be kept cool in summer and warm in winter. Here are some fantastic beginner sites to get you started.

Correction: devised should be demised or hit by a car.
I don't know anything about chickens, raising them or building a coop but I found some information from "Modern farmer.com"
I hope this helps...
