Chicken coops, chicken runs and hen houses are
pretty simple to design if you follow the basics.
Appearance and Design:
Home chicken farming
Draw your design on paper before you start hammering and sawing.
Using intelligent Judgment:
Use materials that will be easily cleaned. The doors will
be inward opening.
Protection from the Elements:
Bad weather – heavy rain, wind, hail, snow, cold climates, etc,
but they will also protect them from hungry predators, theft
and injury.
You need to build a draft free coop with both windows and doors
that you can open or close as need be. Make sure both are properly
screened.
Coop Ventilation:
Hens, just like humans, need fresh air.
A chicken coop with sufficient air movement and good ventilation
will help remove the ammonia and mold that may grow in its walls.
Light Source:
Make sure the coop windows face the south where they will get
direct sunlight all day.
For great egg production all year round, you can install
lights. You should be able to easily install an electrical
light at the height of the chicken coop’s ceiling which will
keep your chickens warm and help them be better egg layers.
place the chicken feed and water at the height of the chicken’s
back. They will have to stretch their necks up to eat but won’t
reach the feeders with their feet.
