Building Chicken Coops

One of the most critical aspects of building a
chicken coop is to build the enclosure properly. If
you're not taking action steps to protect your poultry
house from predators, there will come a time when one
may just wipe out your entire coop. If you're
thinking about building a chicken coop it's essential
you build it properly. If you don't you may wake up
one morning to a pile of feathers! Foxes,cats and
other predators like chicken just as much as we do and
if you allow them easy access to your chickens by
building a poorly secured and built chicken coop you
are asking for trouble. Some factors you need to keep
in mind are: Build your chicken coop high enough off
the floor to ensure none of the larger predetors can
get in. If your fence is to short guess what? Yup your
chickens are history. Use the best possible materials
you can afford as again a weak hen house isn't going
to protect your chickens very well. Don't forget some
animals will burrow underneath your chicken enclosure
so as with a house your foundations are important.
Make sure to use a good strong door on your chicken
