There a couple of choices to look at when it comes to poultry housing and obviously we all will have own preferences but, to be able to meet your chickens specific housing needs the more flexible that you are able to be in your approach, it stands to reason the better you will be able to cater for them far more easily and with little effort.

So, what options are there? Well, you could go for the readymade choice and find yourself a chicken coop or chicken shed for your hens but, I have found them to be so very expensive, especially when you start to look at the quality and quantity of materials involved in their construction. You could certainly buy materials of a superior quality and far more cheaply at your local DIY store. I really do not think that the cost reflects true value for money even if the timber has been measured and cut for you.

At least if you choose to build a chicken coop for yourself you can guarantee best quality from the smallest tack or nail right through to the largest piece of timber that you use , with the added benefit of making your chicken housing very durable indeed.

The flexibility that you have in building a simple DIY chicken coop will surpass anything that readymade poultry housing has to offer.

To have a quality built poultry house is not a problem and there is no need for you to compromise on you or your poultrys requirements at any stage. So, pick up your tools and see what you can do, I know that the sense of satisfaction in building your quality poultry housing will only be matched by the taste of that first egg laid by your own hens.

Building chicken accommodation is simple and a great deal of fun when you have the right information. They are practical, easy to assemble and you can save yourself a fortune.

There are dozens of poultry related websites that claim to offer visitors great poultry house plans, but few sadly seem to offer little more than a single basic design. However one of the bestpoultry house design websites online that has been endorsed by hundreds of chicken breeders and owners worldwide so far contains a wealth of chicken housing data and related information that is really helpful and is well worth reviewing: (http://www.chickenhousekit.com)

Why are chicken coops high off the ground?

chicken coops
by IvanClow

Question by J.: Why are chicken coops high off the ground?
I was looking in the “farm & yard” section of craigslist and saw a very cute chicken coop for sale. It was built high off the ground and had a narrow little stairway leading up to a small doorway for the chickens to enter. The inside of the chicken coop had what looked like a “shelf” in it or maybe a rectangular box.

So why is the chicken coop built so high off the ground that it necessitates that stairway just to enter it? And what is that shelf or box inside the chicken coop?

Best answer:

Answer by Skane
Its off the ground so the poo falls into a trap at the bottom, and can be disposed of if it gets too full :)
