Before building your very own chicken coop, there are a few things to consider. Some people choose to have their chicken coops built by professional chicken coop constructors, while others choose to build the chicken coops themselves. Building a coop yourself is not hard and does not require expensive materials. Many of the materials can be found around your garage.
However, before you go to work on your chicken coop, you must consider a few things first. One thing you must consider is the size of the coop and the number of chickens you wish to hold. Small chicken coops offer more versatility in placement, they are easier to move, and they are easier to clean. Large chicken coops can hold more chickens and therefore you can get more out of your coop investment in the long term. If you have or wish to have many chickens, going with a large coop is a wise idea. If you want to only keep the chickens as pets, go with the small chicken coop.
Environment is also an important factor. If the climate is hot, the chickens need a spacious coop in order to avoid any heat exhaustion. If the climate around your coop is cold, you should build the coop in a way that the water supply will not freeze and the chickens get sunlight. Sunlight in any coop is important, because it catalyzes the production of eggs.
