The other day, I had a fantastic opportunity to visit some friends who just about "live off the land". When I say "live off the land" they grow their own food and raise chickens and other animals. I spotted a couple of nicely built homes that had fences around them.
I was curious on what it was, and then my daughter (who is two years old) told me "Chickens Daddy" straight away.
I was pretty amazed with how satisfactory they were. This made me think of stories of the old days my grandmother used to tell me about how there was not any grocery stores around and how neighbors would trade their crops and chickens.
In this economy, I thought to myself what it would most likely take to get a chicken coop started. I started to look around on the internet to find out how favored this trend is getting. People are sick and tired of having 100.00 buck grocery bills and the cost of beef is daft. (So what would I need to get this started?) I thought to myself. So I started doing a little analysis. I would have liked to get all of the facts together with what my buddy was telling me and find what all I would have to do.
What came first the Chicken or the Coup?
I started thinking the very first thing I would must do was to find some recommendation on building a chicken coop. I mean what good is it to have chickens without a place to keep them? I searched around looking for the right plans and found one pretty good site that taught me how to build a chicken coop step-by-step. I learned some very important tip when building a chicken coop that I didn't know. As an important point, I actually did not know how complex raising chickens may be for an amateur.
But, after you get the hang of how it's possible to get started it actually is a straightforward process after finding this out. Here are some easy tips I learned that were crucial when setting up your first chicken coop.
Protection:
When building you would like a design that withstands the elements like rain, sleet, snow and hail. Most significantly you want to a design that protects your chickens from predators.
Cleaning:
You want to build a coop that provides proper ventilation and provides easy cleaning to spray off walls and roosts.
