Top Tips for Building the Best Chicken Coop - The Real Things You Need to Know!

•

I am detailing EVERYTHING to know about building a chicken coop and the realities that may surprise you. I spent a lot of time doing the research before we purchased our hens. I had been researching for years. We then created a design for the coop with my dad who is a licensed contractor to plan and layout and then to build last year.


Enjoy all the details and use the blog posts below to help get the breakdown of all my tips to inspire your chicken coop ideas as you design and build your own coop.

You can purchase our plans and see more about our coop. My father helped us design these and drew them as a licensed contractor. The plans include the measurements and the drawings along with the material list.
