HOW TO BUILD THE CHICKEN COOP |
IMPORTANT:
Try not to purchase anything.
Use scraps of wood and old fixtures.
We did purchase the run fence, the roof and
$9 worth of screws at WalMart (I refuse
to use nails on anything.)
Entire project costs us $90.
STEP ONE: Find a location where
water and electric
are nearby. A place away from predators.
We choose to build off the back of
our number 3 pump house. Perfect source of
water and electric as well as a wind and
and sun shield. It is open to all skunks, foxes,
coyotes, raccoons, hawks and snakes, but amid several
other buildings and we employ water spray
scare crows and a sturdy plan.
STEP TWO: Sketch out a plan
and stick to it.
Which requires careful planning.
Search the Net and buy the book
RAISING CHICKENS FOR DUMMIES.
STEP THREE: Follow your plan. Make certain
interior will always be dry and well ventilated.
STEP FOUR: Put chickens in the coop.
