5 Reasons Why Building Your Own Chicken Coop Is Better!

Reason #1, Enjoyment:

Reason #1, Enjoyment:

Building chicken coops can be very rewarding for you and your family. Apart from the obvious luxury of fresh daily eggs, building chicken coops can be an enjoyable task. All the family can help out with both the construction of the coop and with the ongoing maintenance of the coop and chickens. Keeping chickens can, as with many other pets, help bond your family unit and be a great talking point with friends and family.

Reason #2, Money:

Studies have shown that building chicken coops from scratch can save you over 50% of the cost of buying a pre-built coop. Pre-built coops usually come flat packed which means that you would have to do most of the construction anyway. So as well as the 50% mark up you are paying you also have to pay the delivery charge (which ain't gonna be cheap!) and then do most of the work yourself anyway! And remember you will never have to buy eggs again, and you may even make a little cash selling eggs to your neighbours!

Reason #3, Environment:

With the current state of the economy and the growing concerns about global warming chicken coops sales and the number of people building chicken coops have sky rocketed. Building chicken coops in your backyard will enable you to feed your unwanted scraps of food to the chickens which will in turn be naturally converted into nutritious fertilizer. Building chicken coops out of recycled timber (maybe from that sofa that has been in your garage for the past 6 months) can never be a bad thing, and building chicken coops with recycled nesting boxes can help you recycle unwanted materials from your home. Keeping your chickens in a coop in your backyard and letting them exercise as they wish means that you are eating free-range eggs everyday and contributing towards the abolition of battery farms.

Reason #4, Design:

Buying a pre-built coop may see like the easy option but you have to consider the reality, mass produced products usually will cut corners where possible so your never going to get the same quality design as when you are building chicken coops of your own. Building chicken coops yourself also gives you the advantage of making the specification of the construction to suit your needs exactly. The manufacturer will not know the layout of your backyard and the corresponding position you wish to build your chicken coop, they will not know which side of the coop the windows need to be on in order to get the most out of the sun. How will they know which side would have best access for egg collection? Do they know where you want the nesting boxes? How can they tell which are the best building materials to suit your climate?

Building chicken coops of your own gives you total creative control and lets you build your chicken coops exactly how you want or NEED them!

Reason #5, It can be easy!

Building chicken coops by yourself may seem a daunting task at first but it can be made so simple with some easy to follow, well illustrated plans click the link below to head over to Building A Chicken Coop HQ to see how easy it really can be!
