Chicken Coop / June 3, 2018 / Maryellen
Choosing which size chicken arks to build is a very important consideration and will depend on the number of chickens you intend to keep. There are small medium and large chicken plans to suit your build. A mistake that many first timers make is they build a coop which is too small for the number of chickens that they have. If you cram too many chickens into a small chicken ark your birds will not be comfortable and therefore will be less likely to lay the number of eggs that they would provide if only they had sufficient space. It is better to err on the side of caution and use plans for a larger coop than you think you will initially need and then you have the option for the future of adding more birds at a later date.
If they will try to go from the top you should cover the top of your chicken run with a fence. If you are dealing with really big animals that may try to destroy the fence of your run or chicken coop overall use the most durable materials you can find. If you think they will try to dig their way to your chicken house make sure you dig the fence at least a foot into the ground. In addition to these tips you should also remember to tweak the weakest link of nearly all chicken coops and runs doors. Try to find ones that have a tight fit multiple latches and overall there is no way to get in for unwanted animals. As you can see learning how to build a chicken coop requires a lot of time and experience on your part. That is why you shouldnt rush in to the building. Dont hope you will combat all the obstacles along the way. It is plain stupid and you will have to spend more time doing necessary modifications then you would spend on the entire construction only if you would invest more time into crucial preparations. So spend some more time learning how to build a chicken coop and plan your chicken house with confidence.
To begin a basic design/implementation plan is needed to construct the coop. A person who has never built a chicken coop before should look at some pre-existing designs of coops that were built in the past. An individual does not have to be an expert carpenter to put together the coop but he or she needs to make sure that the coop is put together properly. Once a person gets ideas of how the coop should be laid out and constructed he or she then needs to make a rough drawing of how the coop would potentially be laid out on his or her property. The area around the coop needs to be on high ground to ensure that it is not flooded in the event of inclement weather. Having the correct materials and maintenance is also a must for constructing a chicken coop. Materials that are simple to sanitize and clean should be used to construct the coop as the parts of the coop will need to regularly be sanitized and disinfected. The materials should be easy to clean and not expensive.
