I am interested in a chicken coop.  Would the members here be able to shoot out a few pointers in construction of the coop, aquiring, and maintaining chickens?  The primary purpose would be for eggs.  I'll eat them if necessary or on special occasions.  I have no clue about this topic but am really interested in getting my mind in the game.  I would like to launch my coop in spring '09.  

Basically, just educate me on everything chickens. Thanks!

Mine has an automatic door - opens at daylight, closes back at dark.



Solar powered.

Lowes had a $99 shed a while back. I think it was 4x4 or 6x6. It would be a very good start to mod into a chicken coop.
