Plan Before Building A Chicken House

It is simply to emphasize the importance of planning before you build a chicken house. The idea of pre-planning may sound boring especially when you're enthusiastic to just dive straight into building your chicken house.

But pre-planning would save you a lot of hassle, regrets and expensive mistakes and the last thing you want is for what is meant to be fun to turn sour. Learning to build your own chicken coop can be fun when you follow good instructions and do things properly so here is another vital reminder with some interesting points about planning before you build a chicken coop.

"When you are ready to build a chicken coop you must plan every aspect of the coop before you even pick up a hammer.

To build a chicken coop draw out a plan. Collect all of the materials. Select materials that will be easy to attain, easy to work with and easy to clean up. Plan the functionality of your coop. The doors need to open inwards, not outwards. If you build it the other way with the door opening outwards you chickens will begin roosting on your windows. Your chickens will spend a lot of time in the coop so they need fresh air, designing a coop with sliding windows is a great way to keep them cool in the summer and warm in the summer.

When you build a chicken coop you must consider how will you keep the floors clean in your coop. First you will need to cover them with a good material for the chickens to dig and scratch as they naturally do. Hay is, unfortunately, not ideal for this. Second, you should build the coop with the floors slightly sloping towards the door. This way you can spray the hose in the coop and the dirt on the floor easily slides out to the ground below. You will have a clean coop and no puddles of water in the coop."

So there you go! Do the planning first before you touch that hammer. After that the process of building your own chicken House would be much smoother. You would know exactly what you are doing.

So start planning and we'll pick up soon from where we left off.
