Hello all.
Im a city boy but my wife thinks im country as all get up. But anyway, I want to raise chickens for eggs in my backyard. Im going to recycle my neighbors dog house and build a pen around it. I just need some advice from some people who are knowledgable on this topic. My concerns are with manipluating the interior of the dog house to become a coop; how to set up ideal situations for my chickens to lay eggs; what type of feed and watering system I should use; how to protect against blood born pests and disease; and what type of chickens I should focus on. Im interested in small-medium chickens approx 4-6. Any and all Ideas welcomed.
