Building Chicken Coops
What are the first things you should look at when you start building chicken coops?
Cost
First you need to decide whether to go with a fixed or a mobile, as there are different chicken houses designs.
Here are a few things you need to know in advance when deciding which one to go with.
Things like whether youre going to move and do you want more protection with the changing whether. Well look at the differences and what you should consider between a fixed and a mobile coop.
First of all if you want to save money, then mobile would be cheaper. So if youre on a limited budget then no need to go with a fixed one.
Do you move often?
If you plan on moving in the future, you might want to consider going with a mobile coop, instead of a fixed one. Its more convenient, and saves you time and money by not having to build a different chicken house later.
How many chickens you got?
Mobile chicken coops are designed for fewer chickens, and fixed ones are really for a larger number. So keep that in mind.
Maintenance
Its a lot easier to clean and maintain a mobile chicken coop than a fixed one. You can always pick up a mobile one and put its easily reachable with water.
Simple construction
Building chicken coops is easy as it is, and building a mobile one is even easier. You can build a mobile coop in just a few hours with the right design.
Space/Location
If you dont have a lot of space then you need to build a mobile coop, but if you dont have any space restrictions, then a fixed one would work just fine.
Keeping your chickens safe
Changes in climate and temperature drops, could harm your chickens, and so if youd like to protect them from climate changes, a mobile coop would be more suitable.
Watching your flock
If you go with a fixed coop and its not by your house, then watching your birds wouldnt be possible from your home. If its important for you, then mobile coop has the advantage of putting it where youd like it to be.
These are basic but important things to consider when choosing which type of a chicken house design to go with when you start building chicken coops.
