Keeping chickens is becoming increasing popular - not only do you get a regular supply of free-
range eggs, you also have the pleasure and delight of keeping chickens. But you know all the
benefits that come with keeping chickens - you wouldn't have found this article had you not
researched it first - but your next question is "where do I keep them?" Well, you could go out and
buy a ready-made chicken coop, but where would the fun be in that, and, more to the point, why
spend all that money when you can build a chicken coop yourself for a fraction of the cost?
In this article we will guide you through how to build a chicken coop.
Chicken Safety
Your primary concern will be with chicken safety; you will need to ensure your chickens will be
protected from predators. To achieve this, you will need to bury the outside runs with chicken wire
that surround the chicken coop to around a depth of about one foot. This doesn't guarantee
complete safety, but this will deter all but the largest predators.
Easy Maintenance
To prevent diseases and sicknesses you will need to clean your chicken coop, it therefore makes
sense to build a chicken's coop that enables you to clean it quickly, easily and with as little fuss as
possible. There are a couple design secrets that will make this easy: install doors that open
inward, not outward; slope the floor to a low angle pointing to the main door - when hosing down
the inside of your chicken coop with water and disinfectant the water will naturally drain instead of
collecting in the center.
Build A Coop That Is Warm And Bright
A chicken's coop needs to be warm during the winter but also well ventilated. To do this, insulate
the structure walls - this keeps the chicken coop dry in the wet months and warm in the winter
season. Also, ensure the windows of the coop face the sun so that it lets in the most light. Another
tip is to install an electrical lighting system - these are quite cheap to maintain. Not only will you be
able to see the chickens at night it serves as a really good heat source.
