Picking a chicken coop can be somewhat difficult, depending on your personal preferences. There are so many to pick from. It is important to choose one that best fits your specific needs.
Depending on how much time you have to spend looking after and taking care of your chickens, you may want a smaller coop or automated one. If you are planning on letting your kids take care of the chickens, you might want something that is very kid-friendly and easy to clean up after.
You’ll also need to consider the number of chickens that will be living in the chicken coop. The coops themselves come in all shapes and sizes, obviously depending on what kind of birds they will house.
If you are fairly new at raising chickens and don’t want to go for one of the official sizes made for them but still want a good coop, then a portable chicken coop might be perfect for you. The cost of these typically ranges from $150-$400, depending on your needs.
No matter what kind of chicken coop you decide to buy, having customized one for your chickens and their unique needs will get them off to a great start.
You should not cut corners in the design process of building your chicken coop. Chickens are social animals who need to stay warm in colder climates. The larger the coop and the more comfortable space you can provide for them, the better they will be able to live inside it and reproduce.
To start raising chickens, I had been looking for content that would help me avoid costly mistakes. This one fits right in, and I’m glad I found it. My husband and I did decide that we wanted to get a small group of chickens. We didn’t want to raise chickens that were more than 10. We did want to stop wasting our time and expense by not collecting the correct information first. When we talked to our neighbors who had chickens, they didn’t give us enough details. When I saw this post, I was excited to find and read it. Thank you! I’m so happy I did.
