Where Wealthy Chickens Live

If I had one wish, this chicken coop would be it. It’s even built on a hill for drainage, and has real doors and screens too! Something tells me there’s probably electricity and water in there.
I’ve kept this chicken coop dream house tucked away for so long that I have no idea where the pic came from anymore. But whoever designed it… you are my hero!
I can’t even imagine having something this nice for my birds. Hopefully, when this property someday sells the new owner won’t use it for something as stupid as a tool shed, that would break my heart.

Buying Smart is the Ideal Chicken Coop

Build it Right the First Time

As a chicken keeper myself, I can’t stress enough the importance of having adequate housing for your birds. Saving money by building too small will inevitably prove a bad investment when you become overwhelmed by the difficult chore of keeping it clean.  Cramped housing also presents problems among the social ranking of the pecking order, thus causing injuries and poor egg production as a result.
A chicken coop is a place you will be spending time in too. Tending to chickens must be done whether it’s raining, snowing, freezing, or smoldering hot. It only makes sense to build a convenient and spacious coop that you will enjoy, after all, nothing is fun when it becomes a dreadful chore.
Remember, you can build small, but when it’s all said and done the first egg usually ends up costing around $800+. If that sounds like a lot of money, be warned, it could double after two seasons when you feel the need to upgrade your coop.  Buy smart and build it right the first time.
