There’s nothing worse than having to re-do your chicken coop setup because you didn’t build it right the first time. This Chicken Coop Checklist offers good advice and great suggestions on how to avoid those little problems that can easily turn into big headaches later. Keeping chickens shouldn’t be a huge chore, creating a functional space that is convenient to maintain will give you more freedom to enjoy your flock.
Costco has failed chicken keeping 101… in so many ways
A Phoenix Costco has jumped on the urban chicken keeping bandwagon, selling this coop for $279. That’s a lot of money for this poorly designed flimsy wood structure with cheap hardware.
Size matters in Phoenix! This coop will house 2 unhappy chickens, but it will also bake them alive in Phoenix summers.
Why it Fails my Approval
So back to the drawing board friends, and happy coop hunting… elsewhere.
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.
