Build an Affordable & Attractive Hen Coop

You want your coop to be a shelter to your hens, to protect them from bad whether and predators. After three years of having my own coop, I can promise you that following these guidelines will keep your flock healthy and provide you continuous supply of organic eggs:

• Your birds should have safe and warm place for the cold winter. Since you want your flock to be protected from cold weather, build your coop facing the sun, so it will be always warm inside and the soil will be dried easily. Also, the chicken house will get sun light even during the fall. For the same reason, locate your coop on high place which is well drained. Use windows and doors with screening system to save your birds from the cold wind.

• Your chickens should have easy access to the feeders and waterers. Of course, change the water and food as required.

These useful tips and much more I've learned from the book considered by many as the perfect guide for building chicken coops. Besides its elaborated instructions and cross section diagrams, which are very easy to follow (even for beginners as I were when reading it), it has other valuable tips for raising chicken. This tips saved me lots of frustration, time and money. More about it on my next post.

How Did The Hen Coop Building Guide Saved Me Time & Money

It was three years ago, when I decided to build my own hen coop, but since I haven't built any structure before, I wasn't sure I could make it. As I started looking for coop plans and ready made coops online, I understood it can cost me $300 or even more. This of course discouraged me, and I have almost abandoned my dream of having my own chicken house, but then a friend of mine introduced me the outstanding book of How to Build a Chicken Coop. The book not only saved me 50% of the expenses of buying a coop kit, but also saved me from doing all the mistakes beginners and even experienced farmers do as they build their first chicken shack. Today I have my own coop with 5 roosters and 4 hens, and I became an expert to the subject, helping my friends and neighbors build their own hen coop. I owe it all to the great book of coop building, and I'll try sharing my knowledge with you in my blog.
