Basically a large chicken coop in an urban environment means a coop that you can walk upright into just as you would in an elevator. In fact you can take the size of a typical elevator as your guide in the initial design process of your chicken coop. On the wall facing the door you can place your elevated roost and nest box. You can raise it up to your chest level and extend it up to the roof of the coop. But if you have more than three chickens consider keeping this section at least three - four feet off the ground. Remember that chickens need a lot of space when roosting. Stacking them up too close to each other can result to them pecking at each other. Another benefit of this elevated design is that your chickens are off the floor and away from predators like rats or raccoons.
A cage or pen in which chicken or other poultry is housed is known as a coop. Boxes are contained in these coops for the chickens to lay eggs and get snug while the chickens relax and sleep on perches that are also present in these coops. There are basically two main types of coops the ones that feature open housing for the chickens and the ones that feature closed housing. Those who believe their chicken will fall ill if they are kept cooped up prefer using the ones that have the least covering and made mostly of wiring. On the other hand those who believe that they need to protect their chickens from the elements to keep them healthy prefer using enclosed coops that keep the birds protected and have large doors.
A mobile chicken coop is normally made of bolts pins or snaps that are connected together. This way it can be easily assembled or disassembled by the owner. It is easy to clean because normally it includes an open bottom. Thus you just move it to a new location and clean the old spot. Obviously you will still need to do some cleaning inside the coop but not so much as with a traditional one. Look for quality materials. Since you can transfer your portable chicken coop from one place to another you have to make sure that your coop is not only light-weight but at the same time durable enough to withstand the constant transport. There are also additional features available for portable coops such as a useful wheel and handle. You can easily wheel off to anywhere you want your new portable coop. You can wheel it into direct sunlight in order for your chickens to get some heat.
