For starters – you should now that just because you run to your nearest hardware or pet store and pick up a chicken coop design book does not mean it will turn out right. There are several types of portable chicken coops depending on your needs. You need to assess the type of needs you and your chickens are going to need  – such as size, climate, type of predators, cleaning techniques etc.

Choosing the wrong design or buying the wrong chicken coop plans can spell disaster before you even get started. It can also be quite costly as you will probably starting over several times until you figure out what you really need.

So take it from someone who has made this exact mistake – choose the right chicken coop plans! You will thank yourself later, and so will your chickens!!

For those of you that are interested in building a chicken coop, then you’ve come to the right place. If you think you have to be a carpenter or an expert woodworker to build a chicken coop then you couldn’t be more off base!

Granted – they do take some planning to get started, but if you know where to look and what supplies to buy – the end result can be very nice! The best part about all of this is that by reading my blog you can bypass all the crazy mistakes I made. And they were quite costly!!

My first portable chicken coop project did not turn out so well. I didn’t know what I was doing. The design was very poor, and my chickens weren’t getting the ventilation or the protection they needed – especially when winter came around.

The most important part about building a portable chicken coop is finding a good design and following the instructions. I have some opinions that I will share here in my blog.

I got my favorite chicken coop plan from this book. It has several to choose from.

Check back later!!
