Things You Need to Know About Building a Chicken Coop

Your chicken coop should be strong, sturdy and impregnable. In other words, no unwanted critters should be able to get inside. It should also be warm and dry. Chickens, contrary to popular opinion, don't like the water. If you think I'm kidding, try giving one a bath.

You also want to make sure the coop is properly ventilated. You don't want your feathered friends suffocating inside. Make sure you build your coop so that it gets plenty of sunlight throughout the day. Also, chicken feeders should be placed so that they are easy to get to.
