If you are planning on building your own wooden chicken coop you are going to need a plan. With the right plans you will save time money and avoid any costly mistakes. Wooden chicken coops can be constructed of new materials or from used wood that you can find laying around. If you go with used wood make sure the wood is not chemically treated. It could harm the chickens.
Selecting good wooden chicken coop plans is essential to creating a good convenient chicken coop that will be easy to clean and collect your eggs from. The correct measurements are extremely important. You will also need plans that will give you a shopping list so that you will have everything you need when you get started, even the tools that will be used to build the wooden chicken coop.
Choosing the right size coop is dependent on how many chickens you plan on housing. You want to make sure the coop is secure. Because predators will be looking to get a free meal. If the chicken is able to get out in anyway a cleaver fox will find a way to scare them out of the hen house.
Once you have completed construction of the wooden chicken coop you will need to make nesting boxes for the hens to rest. A nesting box can be made from just about anything. Even card board boxes or baskets.
Once your project is complete you will marvel at its beauty, being proud of what you have created.
