Backyard Chicken Coop - Building Your Own Coop is Easy

Having your own backyard chicken coop has more benefits than just fresh, organic eggs on a daily basis.

Some of the other great benefits include:

Natural Fertilizer for Gardens - A well kept and built chicken coop can gather the waste product of the chickens and those can easily be used as a great, natural fertilizer for your garden. Many of the nutrients that absorb into the soils can result in greater yields of everything from fresh tomatoes to green beans.

Extra Income from Egg Sales - Even a very small chicken coop operation can produce more than enough eggs for your daily use. People will often pay a premium for natural, organic eggs. Even a modest operation in your back yard can produce dozens of eggs in a single day, leaving you with a great opportunity to cover even the low cost of chicken feed by selling the extra eggs.

Organic Eggs are Healthier - Most people realize this point, but you will be dealing with organic eggs, which do not contain any chemicals or growth hormones that are common in commercial egg operations. Using fresh, daily eggs from your backyard chicken coop will not only taste better, but be better for you as well. Here are the Plans that I used to build my "A f

Have you seen how expensive pre made chicken coops are? Most coops that will only hold a dozen or less chickens are selling for over $1000.

At that cost, your rate of return and use is multiplied exponentially over building your own inexpensive coop yourself. Many people will purchase a pre-made structure, and only then realize that it does not come with all the other materials and extras that you need to make your breeding house effective. Items such as proper gravel, nesting boxes, and more are often left off the list for most of the expensive coops available online.

Building a backyard chicken coop actually does not require any special tools. And in fact, you likely have all the tools already in your house to build a coop in a matter of hours.

In order to build your own coop, you really only need a handsaw, a drill, a hammer, a measuring tape, a level and maybe some wood glue. That is really it. Of course, a circular saw will save you a little more time, but it is certainly not necessary.

Most chicken coops can be built using only three major components, all easily found at your local hardware store. You need wood, some chicken wire, and some tin that can be snipped and shaped.

Most pre-made chicken coops can cost hundreds of dollars, if not more. You can easily make your own for less than half that cost if you are willing to invest the time it takes to construct it.
