Many potential chicken breeders are brooding about building chicken houses instead of purchasing them because of the large price ticket on these structures. If you never made a chicken coop, it can seem like a daunting task. However, a good set of plans can erase any worries about whether you can do this yourself. Before beginning this project, here are some pointers to make building chicken houses as straightforward as possible.

Tip 1 – Decide precisely what you need:

If you only plan to raise three chickens, there is no sense in building an enormous chicken coop. A little design can accommodate about 5 chickens. You also need to ensure your chicken coop can withstand the climate conditions in your neighborhood. If you live in a stormy area, you should plan to build a raised structure to stop inappropriate mud inside.

Tip 2 – Find a Plan and Stick to It:

There are plans out there for building chicken homes. If you have not built a coop before, you need to follow an established plan. Not only will they help you find the material you want, they will remind you of things you may not have given consideration to. You need to account for stuff like correct ventilation, climate control, cleaning and upkeep, and protection from predators.

Tip 3 – Find a proper Location:

If you’re not planning to build a portable chicken coop, you need to find an area of the yard to get the maximum out of your house. Chickens have to have daylight to be productive. You need to station the house to ensure sufficient sunlight can shine through the windows without obstruction from massive trees. Also, if you live in a neighborhood not accustomed to building chicken houses, you might want to build it in an area least tangible to your neighbors.

These were 3 tips for building chicken houses for the first timer. Raising chickens can be a fun rewarding experience? It can also be a cost effective experience if you make a decision to build your own chicken coop.
