Do It Yourself-Build A Chicken House In Three Days

Providing your chickens with proper housing is absolutely necessary to keep your birds in good physical shape, contented and happy.

It must be predator-proof from all sides. Make sure that all openings are protected with the correct size of wire mesh - 15mm square so that predators cannot reach inside the coop! Make sure that the area surrounding the coop is protected with wire mesh fencing with the base buried at least 30cm below ground level to prevent foxes and rats from burrowing into the area. Rats would especially be drawn into the area because of chicken droppings.

Make sure the coop is well ventilated (but not directly in the flow of air) to prevent respiratory diseases. Although chickens can stand cold weather, they cannot withstand being in the direct path of the wind.

Make sure the coop is easy to clean.

You should provide roosting poles for your birds because that is where they sleep! Make sure that there is adequate spacing so they don't crowd out one another.

Put 1 nest box for every 4 or 5 birds in a dark corner of the coop to encourage your chickens to lay eggs. Nest boxes should be a little bit off the floor, but lower than the roosting pole inside. Make sure the coop is roomy enough for the birds to roam around when they are inside, at least 4 square feet per bird.

There should be a waterer and feeder inside the chicken coop. For easy disposal of droppings, place a removable plastic tray under the roosting poles.

There's no doubt about how great it is to wake up and open your front door and gather freshly laid eggs for breakfast, and, for anyone who hasn't tasted freshly laid eggs, you are in for a real treat. There is no comparison, not even with the free-range from the local supermarket. VERY IMPORTANT - you have to make sure your chickens are happy in order to receive a regular and plentiful supply of eggs by ensuring that you understand all the important factors involved with building a chicken house.

Chickens are domestic birds usually found on chicken farms. They provide eggs and meat for the farmers. On many farms, chickens can roam free during the day and sleep peacefully inside the safety of a chicken coop at night. This keeps them away from foxes and other hungry predators. There are several different shapes and sizes of coops, each having different advantages. Some coops have runs. Runs are fenced-in areas connected to the coop which allow chickens to roam in a certain amount of space provided. All chicken coops protect chickens from the cold and wet weather outside and have nesting boxes for hens to lay their eggs.

Sometimes, farmers decide to let their chickens live outside. Chickens that are allowed to do this are called free-range. They get plenty of sun and fresh air during the day as well as shelter when they need it. These chickens are fed by farmers, but also have the ability to search for food on their own.

Chickens are sometimes even kept in large chicken farms where thousands of chickens are crowded together in factory-like sheds. These chickens live their entire life like this and never get to feel the warmth of the sun or see the wonder of seasons. This is very unnatural.DIY-ChickenHouse In 3 Days

There are way too many different types of chickens to count. It's hard to believe that they all descended from the same ancestor, the wild Red Jungle Fowl of India and South-east Asia. And they still exist today! Farmers began taming these chickens thousands of years ago and the practice later spread throughout the world. Eventually, hundreds of different breeds of chickens developed and are now seen at many farms and zoos.

Some chickens are cold climate chickens and some are warm climate chickens. One difference between the two is the way the coop is required to be built, depending on the temperature needed. Larger chickens are great for meat, but don't lay as many eggs. When they do lay eggs, though, they are usually brown. Smaller chickens aren't as useful for meat, but are great layers. Their eggs are white. Some chickens are all-purpose. They are good for meat as well as for eggs. They lay brown eggs. It's more usual to see these chickens at smaller farms.

Most chickens today are produced by mating or crossing different breeds. They are called hybrid birds. This gives farmers many advantages such as more eggs or a larger amount of meat.

Some chickens are used for show. These are stranger and fancier chickens. Some lay an odd size or number of eggs, while others have more fluff or interestingly coloured feathers. These chickens are fun to have around and bring more excitement to the farm.DIY-ChickenHouse In 3 Days

Chickens come in various shapes and sizes, but they have the same basic body structure. First off, they all have a comb on top of their head and a wattle underneath their beak. Roosters usually have larger combs and wattles. They are all covered with feathers with a tail sticking up at an angle to the body, sometimes with feathers that drop all the way to the ground.

Chickens come in many different colours. Some are neutral in colour, while others have unique colour combinations, speckles or stripes. Besides just white, black, and brown, chickens also come in gold, silver, red, blue, and green. Chickens usually have a rather small head, with a strong, pointy beak. They have plump bodies and their breast is keel-shaped like a boat.

Their legs are covered with scales. Some breeds have poofy feathers growing from beneath them, covering their legs. They have nice sharp claws that help them walk and grip things. Chickens are better at walking than flying, but can flutter up to a perch.

Sky News presenter Kay Burley, who has more than 30 years' experience in journalism, has confirmed a growing trend by joining the green set. She admits that it's tough, but, to accompany her vegetable patch, she has now added a chicken run. After carrying out the obligatory Google search for some real information, Kay approached her local council which advised against having a cockerel. Fair play really as she considered her neighbours' likely reaction to being woken up early every morning.

Undoubtedly, that wouldn't have gone down too well even if she'd taken a little tip from a gentleman from Environmental Health who recommended that dropping off a few freshly laid eggs to the neighbours every now and again might stand her in good stead. Kay confesses she found it hard to watch the hens sort out their pecking order and had an even more unpleasant ordeal when she added six former battery hens to her existing brood. It just wasn't nice. She says the "new additions looked more like oven-ready birds than Rhode Island Reds and were shell-shocked by their experience." It seems they were totally "overwhelmed" when seeing the sky and feeling the rain for the first time as she introduced them to their new way of life. Kay is still learning in her bid for a greener lifestyle, but she's loving every moment of it.
