chicken coop guide

1. Depending on the place:

Stand-alone chicken coop or hen house: If you have enough enclosed area of land where your chickens can live free, then a stand-alone house is a best choice. You can check out other chicken coop plans in "Building a chicken coop" guide.

• Chicken coop with built in run: If you are concerned about your chickens wandering off, or getting troubled by predators, and are short on space, you should prefer a house with a built in run.

• Chicken tractor (a coop on wheels): If you don’t have any fix place to keep your chicken hutch or you don’t want to spoil your gorgeous lawn then you can choose a chicken tractor which will allow you to move your chicken house.

After knowing all this I was ready to keep chickens. The only thing I needed was a well-designed chicken house. So I asked such questions to myself before start building:

1. How many chickens I want to keep?

2. At which place I want to build house?

3. In which environment I want to keep chickens and what is environment of my area?

4. What is my Budget?

5. How much time I can give to build my chicken hutch?

6. What predators live in your area?

After asking these questions I came to know that I want to keep 5- 10 chickens in the starting which means a small chicken hutch is fine. As I want to keep these in my lawn at one fix place then Stand Alone chicken house is a best option. I live in an area where we don’t face the problem of too much cold and heat as well. So, first thing that came into my mind was chicken coop plans to house 5 to10 chickens.

So I need not to take tension of weather. Now the question arises how I can give a safe environment to my chickens. As predators like dogs, bugs etc. can harm my chickens. So, I’ll build or purchase a wired chicken house. And my budget was not too much and can give not too much time. Finally I decided to build or purchase a small chicken hutch. I visited several shops of chicken hutch but I did not find any chicken house according to my needs and liking. Then I decided to build it.

In the starting I build it by just an idea in my mind but I failed then I realized I need a clear guide for chicken coop plans. I searched on the internet and download it for free as free guides are available on various sites. Initially, I made my chicken house by using a free guide that contains many chicken coop plans but trust me free guide is not that much helpful as paid guide. I face many problems with that free guide. I did everything by my own but when purchased my guide it helped me a lot.

After purchasing I took more care of my chickens without any problem of feeding them, cleaning the hutch, keeping them in a happy environment with protection from various animals like dog. You will not believe after this production of eggs was more and I expand my small chicken house to a chicken farm.

Now I am earning good from this business and having a healthy diet. I would suggest you to purchase a guide which should contain a good amount of chicken coop plans so that you can keep chickens easily. To purchase a guide you have to invest some money in the starting but believe me it is worth to invest.
