If you want to learn how to build a chicken coop so it will meet expectations and needs of your chickens this article is for you. Chickens arent choosy animals but they require few things in their life to stay happy health and lay eggs regularly. However this article isnt only about convenience of your chickens by following tips I share below you will be building a chicken coop that is easier and faster to clean as well as keep in good condition. Chicken are very dependent on light when it comes to their life cycle. They go to sleep when it is getting dark and wake up with sunrise. That is why you have to build windows in your chicken coop that will supply a lot of light.
Last year I decided to build a chicken coop with my wife. Her and I used to be obese and we decided to evaluate the foods we were eating. We decided that part of us getting even healthier was growing more of our own food and eating organic to avoid the chemicals that build up in our bodies. As part of this we wanted to raise chickens for the healthy eggs. After a little bit more trouble than we had asked for we finally did build a chicken coop. I wish that someone would have told me a long ago what mistakes to avoid. To build a chicken coop draw out a plan. Collect all of the materials. Select materials that will be easy to attain easy to work with and easy to clean up. Plan the functionality of your coop. The doors need to open inwards not outwards. If you build it the other way with the door opening outwards you chickens will begin roosting on your windows. Your chickens will spend a lot of time in the coop so they need fresh air designing a coop with sliding windows is a great way to keep them cool in the summer and warm in the summer.
Insulating the walls will not only keep your chickens producing eggs but it will prevent your chickens from getting sick. If you build a chicken coop obviously the water and the chicken feeders need to be in a place where your chickens can easily access them. It is important to be very careful in selecting a place to put the water and the feeders.Chickens can make a big mess of things because of their natural instinct to scratch and dig. It is very frustrating to see water and the chicken feed you just put out all over the floor. To prevent this place the feeder and the water at the height of a chicken back. Ideally the chickens will have to stretch their necks up to the food a little bit to eat and drink but they will not be able to place their feet in their food or water.
