CAUTION !

The thing you are about to materialize is not just a shelter that protects chickens from the elements, it`s a place in which they'll live and as you`ve surely found out by now their happiness is reflected in the eggs quality and therefore the eggs are influenced by the coop, so there are a few things worth mentioning before you start building one from scratch, cast a glance:

1. Chicken Coop Size

The simple general rule states that one chicken needs 4 square feet of coop space so if you aim for three chickens you`ll need a 12 square foot coop; 3x4; 6x2 or above. If the chickens are cooped all the time things change, they will need at least 10 feet each.

Insufficient space will not only alter the eggs quality and the chicken`s happiness but will also bring an unnatural smell fast as stressed chicken behave oddly and they can even get aggressive with each other, pecking each other. Insufficient space can also invite diseases.

If your space cannot allow at least 4 square feet per chicken you can attempt 2.5-3 square feet with the sole condition of allowing chickens to be outdoors at all time.

Smaller bantam breeds naturally need space, they can enjoy two square feet.

2. Chicken Coop Location

Consider these factors when choosing location for your chicken coop:

  1. Shade and sunlight; your live stock needs sunlight throughout the day but they also require a shaded area.
  2. Natural ventilation; a nice wind flow to change the air would be extraordinary but avoid places with strong wind, usually positioning the coop under a tree checks multiple boxes.
  3. Easy access; usually at least two times per day you`ll be around your flock, make the place easy accessible.
  4. Noise and smell; consider these two things and they`ll prevent you from positioning the chicken coop close to your house or close to your neighbors.

PRO TIP
You don`t have to pin the coop into place directly, monitor an area for a week, make a trial run if possible and ensure there are no major impediments.

3. Coop Planning

To protect your things you don`t need a wall and a roof only, the shelter needs to contain inside-out things that make your flock healthy and happy, here are a few things worth considering in the planning process.

MUST HAVE AMENITIES

  1. Chicken coop nesting box; this is the place where each chicken will eventually lay an egg and you need at least one for two hens; the box ought to measure 12x12x12 inches and be elevated 10-20 inches above ground.
  2. Ventilation and windows; are naturally required to ensure the proper environment, without ventilation chickens can get sick easily; light is also required for their happiness.
  3. Feeder and waterer; they need no introduction, simply ensure they`re scaled to your flock correctly.

 OPTIONAL AMENITIES

  1. Perch area; it is known that chickens love to sleep on perch, it makes them happy.
  2. The run; an outdoor fenced area in which they can wonder about happily is important, it improves a chicken`s life quality.
  3. Dust bath container; chickens use dust or sand to clean themselves and stay healthy; this earthy mixture is part of their life.
  4. Poop boards; usually positioned beneath the perching area, this board can help you a lot of time when it comes to cleaning.
  5. Artificial lighting; in the winter especially warm lights can emphasize egg production, they also create a comforting ambiance.

Basic information about the chicken coop lies above yet for detailed information we highly recommend you to consult a specialist. In the following rows we will present our carefully curated list of world` best chicken coop designs, we invite you to check each design and surge inspiration.
