Detail on how to build your own chicken coop
So, you’d like to know how to build a chicken coop. Maybe you’ve got visions of impossibly fresh eggs for breakfast or are extremely interested in being self sufficient. Maybe you keep hearing other people talking about how they want to raise their own chickens and wonder, why not me? Why can’t I have my own little chicken house out back?
Well, there really is no reason you can’t is there, unless your zoning laws expressly forbid it. You should probably check on that first, but once you’ve got the okay, it’s all systems go.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have chickens that don’t come from cans? To not have to stand there checking each carton of eggs for broken ones? Or worse pay chichi farmer’s market prices for eggs? Wouldn’t it be great to get the satisfaction of knowing that you can win friends and influence people with the gift of fresh eggs, lovingly gathered from your coop that morning. In a basket!
A basket! You could have a special basket just for eggs! Can’t you just see it now?
But wait…before you get too lost in your chicken dreams, there are practical matters to be dealt with first.
What do I have to know before I start building a coop and buying chickens?
All sorts of things! Such as:
- Where to build it! You can’t just put it anywhere, not if you want it to stay up.
- How to keep it protected from predators. Can we say entrails?

- Ventilation. Once you get the chickens, you’ll understand just how important fresh flowing air really is.

PS nothing to do with anything, but doesn’t it give you the giggles that chicken coop is spelled almost the same as co-op like you always hear New Yorkers living in? Heh, those fancy Manhattan apartment buildings do seem kind of coop-y don’t they?
PPS If you live in a Manhattan apartment building apologies in advance for any offense but I have to wonder why you are reading an article about how to build your own chicken coop.
