If you are thinking about building a backyard hen house you are probably looking over several chicken coop plans and trying to figure out which one will work best for you. There are three things that good plans should have so that you will have a productive and healthy flock.
There are several reasons that this is a good option for the hens as well. A chicken hen house provides invaluable protection for your birds including protection from the weather, be it wind, cold temperatures, or the blistering hot sun during the summer. it also protects them from all sorts of predators, some wild such as foxes, weasels, and raptors and others domesticated like dogs and cats.
The first thing the plan needs to have is to have the bases covered when it comes to providing your chickens with protection from other animals. There are a lot of ways that predators try to get into the coop, including digging, pushing through loose wire, climbing over the fencing, and from the air above. It is a really sickening feeling to discover that your hens have been killed or injured by these animals.
Then next thing that a good plan must have is good design when it comes to local weather conditions. It has to provide shade and ventilation during hot months and insulation and wind protection during cold. Rainfall amounts also need to be taken into consideration so that the coop does not get flooded.
Finally, the design must provide for easy care. The surfaces need to be easy to clean. The floor needs good drainage. It needs to be made in a way that waste removal is quick and easy. This is essential for the health of your birds.
During the cold season, the house needs insulation and protection from wind. It also must have protection from rain. Having a good design will save you a lot of trouble in the long run and will have you well on your way to having a happy and healthy flock.
