Chicken Coop Accessories If you are looking to build your own chicken coop you will need to purchase some chicken coop accessories as well as sticking to a few important principles. Before we cover the important chicken coop accessories we should probably cover the basic needs of your birds. I use the term 'birds' because it is important to realize that we are dealing with animals here. And why is it so important to remember that they are animals? Simple, basic animals have a built in instinct that drive them to do things and to look after their own welfare. It's important to realize raising chickens is not rocket science since they have built in talents and techniques - they know when to eat, they know when to sleep, they can spot a predator. With these basic abilities it makes our job of raising them much easier. So, what chicken coop accessories do we need to make our job of raising the chickens easier? First of all every chicken coop will need nesting boxes. Nesting boxes are boxes that are constructed for chickens to lay their eggs in. They can be built from most types of material but they will need replacing every now and again. So what can you put inside these boxes to keep them safe and sound for your birds? I would advise either hay or straw but you must remember to completely empty the nesting boxes and replace the medium as often as possible. Nesting boxes are not where chickens sleep they are a chicken coop accessories that are for laying eggs only. For sleeping you will need a few roost in the coop. A roost can be anything that imitates a long branch of a tree. For example, you can attach a pole-like piece of wood across the coop and use this - as long as the birds can manage to wrap their feet around the pole. Obviously, make sure the roost is of sufficient length to fit all of your chickens on. You will need feeders and water machines to keep your birds nourished. These come as manual items or, if you have a bit extra cash to spend, you could buy a automated feed and drink system ( these chicken coop accessories can be quite pricey though ). Heaters, again can be quite a pricey chicken coop accessories but you will need them in the winter months ( especially if you reside near me in the UK ). The chicken coop accessories that I have covered here are what I would deem as essential to have a happy, successful chicken coop project. There are other chicken coop accessories that I would say are mainly luxuries and you could possibly get by without them. Good luck in planning and constructing your chicken coop.
