Well summer is upon us pretty much and a lot of people are looking to get more organic and "green" and one of the best ways you can do this is with a chicken coop and of course chickens.
Chickens are excellent suppliers of fresh, organic eggs as well as excellent fertilisers for soil; you can even sell the soil for some good cash when you have been keeping chickens for a while.
To build a chicken coop however you will need some good plans and this can be tough to find them! Of course you can find bits and pieces online that will give you people's experiences but more often than not you end up with a job half done or a guide that not everyone can follow unless you happen to be a carpenter.
When you are looking for some chicken coop plans make sure they have these 3 things included: 1.
Make sure that you get video that shows you how to build a chicken coop, now there are some guides out there liker this and it is not worth settling for just written blueprints because if you get stuck it can be hard to finish! 2.
The next thing that you should look for is obviously plans that will allow you to build the size of coop that you need, and also that gives you the ability to upgrade as well as if you enjoy it you may want some more chickens! 3.
Lastly make sure that any chicken coop plans that you purchase also come with a full guarantee so if for any reason you cannot follow them or they do not work for you then you will be able to get a full refund.
If you follow the above tips you will be far more likely to get some good plans that you can use and should not have a problem.
I hope this helps you and have fun with your new chicken coop! The main thing is to search for some good instructions that will not give you lots of bits and pieces of information, the danger with trying to do this from information in the forums is the fact that you may get half way through and then be left high and dry because the information stops!
