As we were growing up, we cannot remember a time in our life when we did not own any chickens. A lot of us have childhood memories of going out and feeding the chicken. Each day, when we go out to feed them, we flash back to feeding them as a child. Sometimes, those childhood memories are something that one is really fond of. Many of us have childhood memories like that? Do you remember helping your parents build a chicken coop? Chances are you did not know exactly what is going on. Now, here you are, sitting there wondering how to build a chicken coop. As we write this article, we are going to give you some information that you need in order to build those birds a home.
First of all, before you even get the birds, you need to take the size into consideration. How big do you want you coop to be? If you ask me, my choice would be a big one. Many people opt for a smaller one simply so that they can haul it around. If you do not plan on taking you chickens for a ride anywhere, then opt for that bigger one.
You will have to have a minimum of four square feet for every chicken that will be in the chicken coop. You will have to make your chicken coop as big as possible, so your chicken will lay more eggs and a stress free.
You should note that building a big chicken coop won’t be much more work. Sure, you will need some more material, but these materials are not that expensive.
Before starting to build your chicken coop, you will need to figure out where you want to place it. It is important that you place the chicken coop in the right place; I recommend putting it in a place where the sunlight shines bright in the morning hours. Chickens love the morning sun, this is a known fact.

You will get you rbirds to lay the maximum number of eggs when placing them in the morning sunlight and having them in a safe and stress free environment.
You should note that you will only need few material to build your chicken coop and these materials won’t be expensive at all. Basically, you need some wood, nails, mesh wire and a hammer. To protect your chicken coop even more, you might want to consider to put some shingles on your roof.
When you have the frame put up, you may need some help when it comes to putting the roof on. At this point, when you have the roof on, it will be time to put that mesh wire up. No matter what you do, even if you have to put a ton of nails and staples through it, we highly recommend you not leaving any gaps between that wiring. If you leave gaps, you will make it easy for those predators to grab one of your birds. There are many wild animals out there that would love to have your chicken for dinner. In the end, you will find that building a cage is really fun. Now that you know how to build a chicken coop, it is time to get going.
