If you are thinking about building a chicken coop, then you have got to read this before going on any further. Do you want a good-looking and sufficient house for the chickens that will keep them safe and healthy? If you want an affordable way to build one, then keep reading this article for valuable information on chicken coop building.

Safety is a priority — keep your chicken safe

-Choose a location that is in a high and well-drained area. This is so when the rain comes, the coop will dry quickly.

-Build the chicken coop in a location exposed to the sun; it will dry even faster during the wet seasons.

Build a clean coop for your chicken

-To keep your coop clean, make sure that you use materials that will make cleaning and disinfecting the coop something easy and doable.

-Install doors that open inwards and not outwards. This will avoid making a mess when checking up on your chicken.

-Install sliding doors and windows because they will make opening and closing the doors and windows a neat and clean task without causing a commotion.

 

Keep it attractive and pleasant

-If you do not live on a farm, and the chicken coop is visible to your neighbors, then make sure it does not ruin the appearance of whatever surrounds it (i.e. it should have harmony with your house or backyard)

-Design a coop that is visually appealing; this way you will avoid your neighbors complaining about how much of a distraction it is to an onlooker.

-Keep an appealing landscape around it to make it look more pleasing.
