You've spoken with a breeder, you know what kind of chicken you're going to be growing, and you can't wait to get crackin' on hatching your chicks.
But you have a problem.
You still don't have a coop, and you have no idea of how to come up with the chicken coop blueprints your carpenter needs to create one for you.
Make no mistake, the chicken coop is perhaps the most important aspect of your poultry farm aside from the chickens themselves.
Remember, the coop is where your chickens will stay pretty much most of their lives, and if you make a mistake in the design, you're going to be dealing with some very unhappy chickens.
Luckily, there are plenty of ways you can come up with a decent set of chicken coop blueprints: 1.
Make them yourself.
Are you a decent carpenter with an ability to draw rather well? Do you have what it takes to come up with a complete set of schematics for a structure? Then why don't you create your own design for the chicken coop! Not only do you save on labor, you can also make sure that the coop is the coop made for your backyard.
2.
If you don't know jack about drawing but you still want to save on the labor, have somebody else make it for you, explain the details, and then put up the coop yourself.
Of course, unless the guy owes you his first-born child, you'll probably have to pay him, but at least you can get the job done at a discount.
3.
So you don't know how to draw.
You don't know how to read blueprints, much less one for a chicken coop.
And you can't hammer a nail correctly without hitting your thumb.
Talk to your friend about the chicken coop blueprints, hire a carpenter, and yell at him every time he makes a mistake.
This will cost you a bit, but hey, beggars can't be choosers.
4.
You don't know anybody who can come up with drawings? Turn to the Internet.
Here, by the power of Google, you will be able to scour page after page of chicken coop schematics until you find the right set of blueprints for you.
Then just get the carpenter to put the structure up.
Don't forget to yell at him.
And that's it.
Remember, there are probably plenty of other ways to get a set of chicken coop blueprints for yourself, but these four ways are the easiest there is.
And yes, I was kidding with the yelling bit.
Don't yell at the carpenter, he might get back at you by compromising the coop's structural integrity.
