    These are lovely coops! I wish more people would realise that coops can be attractive and add to the urban landscape in a positive way. Check out my struggle for Backyard Chickens in Wake Forest at www.wfchickens.blogspot.com

    Check out backyardchickens.com We got our first chicks a few
    weeks ago and that's when I registered there. The people are SO
    friendly and there's wonderful info on there. Good luck and have
    fun with your chickens. They are a blast to have! :D

    Range Poultry. I would like a link to some information on how to
    start. I would greatly appreciate the support. Thank You
