By knowing someone with experience who can include the elementary requirements into hand drawn plans you may as well go ahead with constructing the coop by just following those. If it is just you building the coop for the first time there is thousand and one valid reason to choose good set of professionally designed chicken coop plans. And let me provide some additional proof to demonstrate why I so passionately believe in their value. The coop and the run are your chickens sanctuary they are your chickens home. Chickens are homely creatures and at the end of the day they will look for a place where it feels safe to rest for the night. Experts believe that the chicken coop alone accounts for as much as 3/4 of your chickens health and well-being. If designed as highly functiona the coop will contribute in minimizing the risk of disease or similar problems on an ongoing basis helping you in raising healthy flock of birds right from the start.
Using a ramp connect the second floor roost to the first floor play and exercise area. Having a large chicken coop also helps your hens get a bit more exercise. This is going to be especially helpful in the winter months when they need to keep their body temperature up. And speaking of winter months dont forget that having a large coop also means that youll have to get extra insulation during the cold season. And its not just your chickens you will also reap the benefits from the extra space that a large coop provides. Cleaning for example will be much easier. You can just take a shovel and scoop out all the dirt in the run without always having your face two inches away from chicken poop. This is also good news for those that have back or knee problems because they wouldnt have to crouch down every time they clean the coop. Also if in the future you would like to turn your hobby into a small business having a large chicken coop will make expansion easier. Just make a note of the rules in your city (or apartment building) as to how many chickens is an individual allowed to keep.
This is the best option if you are just beginning to start raising chicken. Most of the time breeders start with a small number of chickens and eventually it grows from there. Most of the time they would want to test the water first before embarking into it for good. A portable coop is a good option because you can easily remove it if you dont want to continue raising chickens. It is also quite easy to build and will not cost much. There are design plans included in the set. You can also find designs in the Internet for a more customized coop for your chickens. Portable coops do not require too much space and they are light enough to be transferred from one place to another. The owner can move it to a higher place if he wants to protect his chickens from wet grounds or even put it out on the ground if he wants the chickens to catch a bit of sunlight.
