Easy instructions for Chicken Coop Designs

Ask any poultry enthusiast what the next most important thing after having poultry is and he is likely to say "Chicken house of course!" Chicken houses are easy to make, fun to build and on top of that extremely productive as far as raising chickens is concerned. Most can be equipped with a nesting area for the birds and also a Chicken run which allows your poultry to have some fresh air and sunshine without being exposed to the risk of predators looming the area. Here are a few things that you should consider before going in:

Your poultry: How many birds do you have? 2, 4, 6 or over 10? Chicken houses typically come in three sizes and are designed for a certain number of chickens, this means if you have 4 birds you should consider buying a chicken tractor which offers around 20 square feet of space. Do remember that as a standard 4 square feet of space is to be provided per chicken to ensure that they remain comfortable. A poultry of 6 chickens should be provided with a house of around 25 square feet and so on.

Your Backyard: Don't overlook the size of your backyard. If your backyard cannot accommodate a large chicken house then you should consider sizing down your poultry to something more manageable.

The Weather where you stay: Again an often overlooked factor. If you are in a place where cold drafts are a problem then you should consider insulating the house. Many chickens are killed because of foul weather.

The Predators: By far the most nagging problem concerning poultry farming. Your coop should address this issue well if you don't want consistent losses.

The Chicken House interior: Don't think that this is just a wooden put-together job; the interior of the house needs to be designed with great care. Chicken have a lot of typical habits such as taking sand baths, scratching soil surface, etc that you need to take into consideration. For example you can cover the floor of the chicken house with saw dust which can mimic sand and will prevent them from scratching the wooden floor.
