Keeping Poultry at Home Has Come of Age And What Better Way to Keep Chickens Other Than a DIY Coop

There really has never been a more exciting time to be involved in keeping poultry at home. How lucky are we to be able to bring a touch of the country to our own backyards with the minimum of fuss and maximum of pleasure? I have found that there is so much information available to help you in keeping your poultry at home that you really will wonder why, like many people that you had left it for such a long time and had not started earlier.

Not so long ago keeping chickens was pretty much limited to farmers and small holders or, anybody that had a decent piece of land to be able to accommodate them. These days, you really can house hens in a much smaller space than you might have imagined possible and they will be just as happy.

We have always been told that eggs are a very important staple food and the demand for them has increased to a point that supplying enough has become a very big and profitable business. This has had a knock on effect; sadly I feel, whereby the poor old chickens have suffered. They are often housed in less than adequate surroundings and only their very basic welfare needs covered. This in turn means that the taste and quality of their eggs is often noticeably affected.

In recent times we have all become more aware of where our food comes from and we see the less than ethical methods in the ways used to get it from the original source to the store and then into yours and my kitchen. I really cannot see a problem with being concerned where your food comes from; in fact we are told that this is what being a consumer is all about is it not? Having choices and then making them for personal or individual reasons.

I have yet to find a better way of being able to have a huge influence in helping to create your own food source than by keeping your own chickens and knowing exactly what has gone into their diet and then in an unseen way into their eggs.

Another financial benefit of having your own poultry is that if, you use your chickens eggs shrewdly in your kitchen and weekly diet, you can reduce the amount of meat you have to buy without having to miss out on your all important protein intake and saving you money.

Why not bring yourself closer to nature by keeping poultry at home? There is nothing more delicious than the flavour of free range eggs, you really can taste the goodness and I cannot think of anything more amazing than that. Why not start keeping poultry at home and see exactly what everybody else has been benefitting from for such a long time and see what you just may have been unfortunate enough to have been missing out on all this time.

Building your own chicken accommodation can be simple and great fun when you are given the correct information. They are practical, easy to assemble and can save you a fortune.

There are dozens of poultry related websites that claim to offer visitors great chicken accommodation plans, but few sadly seem to offer little more than a single basic design. However one of the bestchicken accommodation design websites online that has been endorsed by hundreds of chicken breeders and owners worldwide so far contains a wealth of chicken housing data and related information that is well worth reviewing.
