Hi, my name is Howie Kingsly. I'm an accountant from Sydney and welcome to my blog on Keeping Chickens. I recently embarked on a project to a build a chicken coop for my backyard and this is my collection of pictures and articles that I have collected over time that I hope you will find useful. I got started by reading a manual which had numerous chicken coop plans and step by step building instructions which was very useful. Thanks for stopping by.
