I'm just setting up my coop for my first chickens! We moved into a house that already had a dog kennel structure built off the side of the garage so it hasn't been too hard to enclose it and make it suitable for the chickens. Now I'm just working on making a secure outdoor run for them before they get old enough to go outside. I'm taking the raising baby chicks class at Seattle Tilth on Saturday where I'll be getting the babies... 2 Buff Orpingtons and 2 Barred Rocks. I'm so excited! I’m another fan of the green roof!

It helps the chickens to move freely within the coop and thus have some sort of exercise. I would also like to add that you must plan for the number of birds you want to keep, as well as possible expansion. We added too many to our flock and ended up with zero eggs and sick chickens. The correct amount of yard and coop space is vital for healthy animals! I leave at least 2 square foot of coop space per bird, and 3-4 square feet of yard now! .-= backyard chicken coop´s last blog ..<a href="" rel="nofollow">Comment by</a> =-. Hi,
