I have found out some fascinating things about Chicken Coop Plans. Chicken keeping is quite a new hobby for my uncle. His children loved animals so he knew that if he bought some chickens they would be very happy. Plus there would be lovely fresh organic eggs for the whole family.

Some people let their chickens out on a daily basis, thus have made a good bit of money on the side selling free range chicken eggs. You may find that the chickens will ‘earn’ their keep if you sell some of the eggs.. This is a way to make some profit..

Upon looking to buy a chicken coop, my uncle saw that the prices were quite steep so felt he would benefit if he built his own chicken housing. So he started to looking around for chicken coop plans and designs for building his own chicken coop.
He wanted a plan that was clear and easy to follow. He also felt that the children would enjoy watching the plan unfold and be involved at every step.

It was really interesting learning that there were quite a few things to be considered for example he knew he would need certain materials, insulation and take into consideration such aspects as the ventilation, positioning and nesting etc.

Chicken safety was a particular aspect to keep in mind. Chickens actually need quite a lot of protection from predators such as snakes, foxes, possoms, racoons etc. Thus for chicken safety make sure that the chicken wire is fastened securely.

Even deciding the bedding for the chickens was no easy task. A few people said that sawdust is soft and makes great bedding, and that sawdust is easier to clean and will absorb the odor longer. Some people are not so happy with this choice as the chickens can scratch the sawdust from the pen and may get the dust in their eyes.. However, uncle and the children chose straw for the bedding as they read that Straw helps the water drain to the bottom and it will give the chickens something to “scratch” through. It’s safe for them to eat.

Financial cost was the major decision for uncle deciding to build his chicken coop, the savings would be substantial, probably over 50%. He needed a plan where he could use his own tools. Uncle Dave has a lot of tools in his garage so felt he could use these to build his coop.

Uncle was looking for an easy to follow step by step plan on how to build a chicken coop. Of course additional material on chicken breeds, how to cure chickens of illness and foods to give the chickens etc. were added benefits..
