How to Make Chicken Coop Door

If youre raising chickens in the city then youre probably thinking that owning a large chicken coop is already out of the question. Space after all is one of the biggest limitation of urban chicken owners when it comes to building their chicken coop. So they usually make the mistake of designing their coop around the available space rather than their chickens needs. The result? Big city chickens living in cramped chicken coops. Of course the definition of what "large" is is very subjective especially in the context of the-countryside-hills-over-yonder standards versus the beyond crowded city standards. To put things into perspective lets just say that a large chicken coop in the countryside is a decent-sized apartment downtown. While a large chicken coop in the city is the walk-in closet in that decent-sized apartment downtown.
Still there are several factors that need to be considered including size style and usage. How many chickens do you have? Will you need some spaces for the hens to lay eggs or the roosters to nest? Would you prefer a chicken coop that takes on the appearance of a barn or would you rather choose the plain design of wood? These choices are up to you but if youre intending to build your own portable chicken coop remember that the appearance wont be especially nice unless you choose to add more spice to it. If youre looking to build your own portable chicken coop then you have two options: use a previously created plan or design your own. However unless youre an experienced carpenter or familiar with chicken tractor plans its probably not the best idea to do so. Still keep several important details in mind when youre looking for the perfect chicken tractor.
Well built chicken house ajoint with the chicken run comes with provisions for lighting ventilation and insulation in addition to perching bars dust baths and nesting boxes. These elementary requirements may seem too much to think about for a novice but they are essential for your chickens health and well-being and need to be accounted for right from the start. In the same breath all of this becomes easy with a good set of building plans as professionally designed chicken coop plans provide provisions for these elementary requirements. In addition the plans advise on where to source best building materials while avoiding toxic chemicals commonly used as treatment agents for some of the building materials. The plans advise on positioning the coop to prevent damp from accumulating inside of it. And lastly they cater for the safety of your birds. Here is an example of someone who thought he would save money by not using the plans when building his first ever chicken house: a client of mine lost all their chickens to a skunk because his chicken house was not properly secured enabling the skunk to gain access one night and kill all of his chickens.
