Chicken Coop Designs And Plans Building your own chicken coop brings a lot of benefits but also brings a few problems that we'll highlight in this article. You must do your research before you decide what chicken coop designs and plans are for you. If you purchase a pre-made structure from a local outdoors center you are going to have to pay twice the price than the materials for building a chicken coop. This high cost is the main reason people are making their own coops instead of buying one. There are a lot of designs out there of high quality that will aid you in building your own coop. The first design point you will have to decide on is whether you want a larger or small type of chicken coop. If you already have a number of chickens in mind this will probably sway your decision. You may also want to consider the amount of space you have in your back yard. If you plan to expand at a future date and buy more chickens make sure you go for the larger sized chicken coop plans. There are two main types of chicken coop that you can build - mobile chicken coops and static chicken coops. People tend to lean towards the mobile chicken coops if they are planning on building a urban chicken coop. Stationary chicken coops are built on larger garden areas and usually house more chickens than the mobile versions. The mobile version does have the benefit of being able to be moved around into the sunlight to keep the chickens warm. Chickens are quite dirty animals so expect to be doing a lot of cleaning out of the coop. With this in mind you must use one of two mediums to cover the den's floor - wood chip or straw ( hay ). These mediums make it easier to clean out the coop. Also, try to have the floor slightly sloping towards the door area of the coop as this to will aid you when it comes to cleaning. Many humans like the taste of chickens and certain predators are no different. Never build your coop to close to any hedged areas in your yard because this is a perfect place for predators and pests to hang out. Make sure you put chicken wire underneath the chicken run to make sure the predators cannot dig down and burrow into the coop. Chicken coop designs and plans are important when it comes to building your own. Make sure you write everything down in your own easy to follow writing and have all the materials at hand. Good luck.
