DIY chicken coops are a fun way for the family to enjoy spending time together and building something together. Not to mention it could possibly bring a family of chickens together. Three big tips that I could suggest before starting a nice DIY chicken coop are:

1. Sharing

Share the experience of building a chicken coop yourself with your entire family. Let them see how fun and educational it can be not only to build it, but the knowledge that is needed in taking care of chickens.

2. Get the right plans

Being guided through building your own coop will be exciting, but you really should know where your information is coming from. There are so many plans out there to be downloaded. I like to know mine is written from an actual poultry farmer.

3. Don’t skimp on materials.

The chicken coop is only as strong as you make it. No matter where you live, there are always predators waiting to get a hold of your chickens for a nice snack. Having strong enough wire and positioning can help with that. What materials are to be used to keep the chickens are very important. Lighting will play a big part in keeping them healthy and producing a lot of eggs. Insulating the coop can also help them really stay warm during the cold winters.

If you inclination is to build a DIY chicken coop, do all your homework before starting and your checkbook will thank you later. Thank you so much for reading.
