The ability to make a
Chicken Coop to house your own
laying hens used to be beyond the majority of
people, but that need no longer be the case with
Bill Keene's package called Building A
Chicken Coop.
The product presents plans for creating a small
portable coop, a midsized coop that can be movable
or permanent, and a large fixed coop that can hold
up to 50 chickens.
Comprehensive step-by-step
drawings are supplied for each coop size, along with
a materials list that tells you exactly what
material to use and how to size every piece.
The plans are designed so that they can be
constructed by practically everybody and the only
workplace tools that are actually required are a
hammer, a saw, a measuring tape, a drill and a pair
of pliers to work with the chicken wire.
The two-story chicken coops are particularly
notable since they save space by having an easy to
access nesting and roosting area on top of a feeding
area that is enclosed with wire underneath.
These unique coops are usually portable so they
can be moved around the backyard to make available
new grass for the chickens, decrease cleaning
chores, and help spread the chicken fertilizer over
a larger area.
Much bonus information is included in the product
that tells you what the best and cheapest materials
are for making your coop and coop bottom, as well as
providing information on how to construct nesting
boxes for a small price by using material that can
be found around the majority of homes and that is
commonly discarded.
You also need to know how to select the proper
chicken breed for your own needs from the many
different breeds that are available. Otherwise, you
may well end up buying chickens that are first-class
meat producers when you actually sought good laying
hens.
Besides showing you how to choose the best coop
for your requirements and how to build it, there is
also bonus material on how to select chickens for
your location and needs and how to take care of
them.
The importance of this bonus material cannot be
overemphasized because it is not enough to know how
to construct a chicken coop. You also need
information about how to take proper care of your
chickens. This vital information makes it worthwhile
to purchase a package like this, rather than getting
free plans that do not provide chicken care
information.
