As most people will tell you a chicken coop is just four walls and a roof. But thank goodness theres no law saying that you cant let you crazy chicken coop ideas run wild on those four walls and roof right? If you want to take on a fun project to start the year designing or renovating your chicken coop around a particular theme is a great option. To get you started here are a few themes you can get inspiration from: If you cant afford to have that log cabin retreat by the lake dont hesitate to give it to your chickens. To give their chicken coop a rustic home feel incorporate a lot of design elements that define this style in the coop. For starters you can turn twigs into door handles. Take ones that are slightly curved or raised in the middle so that theres space for your fingers. You can also take larger branches and turn them into perches for your hens roost. Just make sure that the size of the branches are adequate for your chickens feet to grip firmly.
The chicken coop plans play a huge role in determining the efficiency of the coop youre going to build because a well-built coop will allow the chickens to run around freely hunt and peck at their own pleasure. This promotes a healthy lifestyle that will ensure your chickens are happy and capable of producing eggs. Choosing the right set of plans wisely will give your chickens the much needed freedom to enter and exit the coop at their own will. It is important to remember that a free range coop expose your chickens to more dangers than a confined one. For this reason I encourage you to consider the safety aspect and build according to a well-tested set of chicken coop plans. It all comes down to being able to fence the surroundings as safely as possible and to give your chickens access to the coop as fast as possible is a threat emerges.
A mobile chicken coop is a good alternative is you are at least pickle-minded about where to put your newly bought chicken coop. Why choose a mobile chicken coop instead of standard chicken houses? Well some people would like to try out raising chickens to see if it is meant for them. For these people building a stable chicken coop attached to the ground would be a large task especially if they decide afterwards not to raise chickens at all. At least with the portable chicken coop they can easily take it away or disassemble it if they do not want to pursue the idea of raising chickens. While some who are just starting to breed chickens or even just want to have chickens for their own consumption would want to have a good location that will best suit the chickens so it is better to have a portable coop in order to easily transfer it from one place to another when needed.
