Beginners Chicken Coop Building Plans

By Andrew Alford


Have you thought about building a chicken coop but weren't sure whether your time and cash spent would pay off?

Then let me make it obvious that there are a large amount of advantages to having your own rear yard chicken coop, and you may save lots of money in the long run. After all , with the right chicken shack plans you will be able to build a durable chicken shed for a little part of the cost compared to purchasing one.

First, you won't have to buy eggs again. While a single egg won't be pricey, consider how much you are able to save in the long run. Finding the proper plans and material for building a chicken coop practically pays for itself once the egg production has started. Also, by building a chicken coop yourself you save a lot of money upfront. A high quality chicken cage from the store can simply cost $500 or more.

The crazy thing is, you generally have to put these together yourself, also , so you aren't saving much effort but rather are coughing up more for the expensive materials.

Next, you may know what your eggs are coming from. Regardless of if you are environmentally conscious or simply a practical person, realizing that the eggs you are eating come from your own hens gives you a good feeling. Of course , with your loving care you do a lot for the chickens themselves - just consider the conditions most commercial egg-laying hens are raised under with thorough farming techniques.

You can use the chicken dung as an organic manure. The chicken crap are lethal to plants, but small scale manure collection from domesticated animals like chickens, horses, goats etc, blended with vegetable and garden wastes can make a good rear yard compost. Once the the manure as been composted, it makes for a excellent manure that can be used on your garden plants and vegetables.Furthermore, building your own chicken pen gives you the freedom to pick the design and work with your given circumstances. You may as an example rather want to build a portable chicken pen if this is of advantage to you.
