Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: A Chicken Cage For Your Chickens?

OK did somebody say "Chicken Cage"? because I
think what you really mean is chicken coop. At
least the folks I know who have made the decision
to raise backyard chickens are looking to put a
chicken cage in the backyard really mean a
chicken coop.

A chicken cage is how factory farms treat their
egg-layers, all crowed together with no space to
move around. Their beaks painfully clipped to
keep them from pecking at each other--stacked one
on top of another to maintain the profit
levels—a rather bleak existence.

I don't believe you are trying to duplicate that.
No, because you want access to healthy untainted
eggs, you probably are looking for information
about how to build a backyard coop.

Assembling a backyard hen-house, to create a home
for your flock is quite simple and
straightforward if you get a good set of plans to
work from. By good set of plans--I mean plans
that take you from---choosing the location, to
the construction, the features, and the
maintenance of the finished coop in one
continuous format.

All these concerns need to be important to you,
because they sure are important to the chickens.

Chickens have small brains with not much in the
way of thinking ability, but they also possess
powerful instinctual needs. Make a backyard coop
that covers those needs properly and your birds
will thrive and provide all the benefits you
hoped for. Misunderstand or ignore those needs
and you will almost certainly face problems on an
ongoing basis.

A well laid out set of plans will allow you to
consider and approach each of those issues on a
step by step basis that will make building your
backyard coop a resounding success.

See, building a backyard coop isn't the same as
building a garden shed or doghouse. It is more
complex than that. Oh—it's not so complex
you need to sign up for night-school courses to
get the job done, but there are issues you must
keep in mind to build the coop correctly.

Going through and following a good set of coop
building plans will make all the difference in
your project.

How do you start? By finding out what your birds
will need to be safe, contented and thrive.

To end start your project at he start. Once you
have made the decision to raise chickens in your
backyard (and assuming your municipality allows
that). Start with a good set of plans; complete
the chicken cage before getting your chickens.
