Portable Chicken Coops - The Perfect Solution for Small Spaces

As mentioned above, if you have a small yard or don't have a lot of space to work with, portable chicken coops are a great option for you. They are big enough to house between 2 - 4 chickens comfortably, but are portable and light enough for you to relocate to a fresh patch of grass for your chickens to graze on.

This helps to cut down on the cost of chicken feed and also provides your grass or garden with a small amount of potent fertilizer each day. Your chickens will not only make your lawn more healthy, but will also keep it trim.

But aren't portable chicken coops expensive?

It's true, a pre-built portable chicken coop can easily run about $1000 for materials and labor. Plus, they don't tell you that you have to assemble it anyway! Why spend that kind of money when you could easily learn how to build a chicken coop in your own backyard for a fraction of the cost?

In fact, it's very likely that you already have all of the tools required to build one (hammer, screwdriver, possibly a drill?) and the materials can be found at any home improvement or farm supply store for no more than $100 or so.

Building a portable chicken coop is one of the most affordable ways to ensure your chickens have a safe and secure home to thrive in.

All you need is a solid plan, good materials and the right tools for the job. Oh, and about an hour or so to put the whole thing together!

Trust me, I am NOT a DIY girl... but even I was able to find the required materials in the right sizes with a little help from my husband. We put the whole thing together in a couple of hours or so with some basic tools we found in his toolbox.

It was a lot easier to build than either one of us thought it would be, but we were lucky to have found a GREAT plan to follow! We used the portable chicken coop plans found at PortableChickenCoops.info and are very pleased with the results! Check it out and I think you will be, too!
