Chicken Coop Checklist

Essential considerations to built a chicken coop

1. Roosts

Chickens love to sleep on a perch, so you should try to install a horizontal bar across the chicken house.

2. Nesting Boxes

Chickens require a nesting box to lay their eggs, so it becomes important to have one nesting box for every 3 chickens.

3. Feeder

If you keep their feeder few feet over the ground, then it will prevent them from accident and spillages.

4.Bedding

Be careful while deciding on the material for coop's bedding as chickens don't need much heat retention in summers as compared to winters.

Ventilation

If your coop has no airflow then your chickens are sure to suffer from respiratory problems, so there should be sufficient airflow and light to let them survive easily.

7.Protection

Protect your coop with wire mesh spread all around the coop to safeguard your chickens from predators.

9.Watertight and Shade

Your chicken coop should be water-proof as it will be helpful in rainy season and there should be some shaded area where the chickens can cool them off whenever they want.

8.Spacious

Your chicken coop should have sufficient space so that chicken can move in easily. Normally, 4 square feet per chicken is sufficient.

Egg Access

Design your coop in such a way that you can easily collect their laid eggs.
