Your Chicken coop-to buy or not to buy? That is the question the majority of people have to answer who have decided to raise chickens in their backyard and need to get a home for them to keep them safe and warm. The self-reliant you, (who got you into this project in the first place), says to build your own coop but the more conventional you (the part of you who likes to just buy eggs in the store), says just to go get one from the hardware store. In this article I'm going to examine this question and explore your options.
Chicken Coop. To Buy...
If you're a newbie to chicken rearing, you're probably beginning to realise that there is more to buying a chicken coop than just getting into your car and going to the hardware store. There are many things to consider to make sure that you get the right one. Having "counted your chickens", you have to make sure that you have at least 4 square feet of space for movement and ventilation, that there is easy access to feeding and cleaning and that nesting boxes, perches, feeding areas and a chicken run are included. Once you know what you want, there is certainly a vast choice of chicken coops available to buy both online and in your local hardware stores that will not only be extremely functional but will make an attractive addition to your landscape too!
Chicken Coop. Not To Buy...
Have you seen the price of that sort of chicken coop in the hardware stores? Astronomical comes to mind! The other option is to build your own chicken coop. When you think of the considerations we talked about above, you might think that this is beyond you. The great news is that this is simpler than you think. All you need are a good set of chicken coop plans. Professionally designed blueprints really don't cost that much but what really is awesome is that you are paying for the expertise of a professional who has "gone down that road before", thought about all the challenges that have to be faced and found a solution. Not only that but professional plans will come with detailed diagrams, step by step instructions and a materials list of exactly how much lumber and what type you have to buy. The time, money and frustration you will save in wasted trips to the hardware store and wasted materials is invaluable!
