While building a small chicken coop may be advisable for beginners, you may have a need for a larger chicken coop. If this is you, then there are many benefits of a larger chicken coop.
Holds More Chickens
This first one is a given. You should allow about two to three square feet per chicken. If you let them out during the day you can make it even smaller.
More Cost Effective
Creating a larger chicken coop requires less material per chicken. If you make a chicken coop that has twice as much area it will be 41% more efficient with the building material. That’s money in your pocket.
More Durable
Smaller chicken coops are usually portable, one of their desirable aspects. But with this comes a less durable chicken coop because it is lighter and experiences wear from transportation. A large chicken coop is not only more cost effective in its construction, but you can use it for years to come.
While small chicken coops have their own benefits, so do large chicken coops. If you are taking on the daunting task of building a large coop, it is imperative that you do so with the help of a guide. The larger risks of a large coop require further planning and knowledge before building.
