In the modern world, plenty of people are looking for ways to make their life more self-sustainable. Some people are turning to gardening, some are taking a second look into solar cells and making use of wind for power. And yet others are wisely raising animals like chickens for a constant source of protein. In this piece I'm going to give you some tips to think about when your planning on building your chicken shack interior and your exterior.

Tip 1 So the majority of people don’t reflect on how much power their neighbours have over them. There are some fraudulent laws in certain states that make it illegal to own your own chicken cage without proper licenses and such. Some states it’s even illegal to have a rooster. This being said, if your living in an agricultural area where your coop will be visible to others you will want to make sure your chicken coop is appealing to the eyes so your neighbors wont have any reason to make a complaint. You’ll want to think about painting your coop, maybe something that matches your place. And remove any trash or weeds, tall grass round the coop.

Tip 2 It Is Usually smart to build a coop design that will be simple for you to wash. For that reason people typically slope the floor slightly so that mud or litter can be swept out the door less complicated. This could also stop any pools from forming when you hose out your coop with a pressure washer, something you’ll want to do at least once a year if you have a lot of chickens. Pools are a Massive no-no, wetness in your coop will spread illness and makes a nesting ground for parasites which will attack your chickens.

Tip 3 Chickens need clean air just like folk. Allowing enough ventilation is vital so the ammonia levels don’t build up from their feces. If the ammonia level builds up too much it may cause major health Problems to your chicken and anyone entering the coop. Moisture build-up not only causes illness but can also cause CO2 build up and in the longer term, mold. None of these things are good and all can be stopped by providing proper ventilation. If your living in a cold environment and need your chickens to stay warm through the winter, simply add insulation to the coop, but ventilation will still be a must have.

Tip 4 Lighting. Lighting is important because chickens only eat If a light is shinning. Having windows face south will make the chillier months slightly warmer because of the sun shining into the coop, and it'll also encourage our hens to eat more and increase their private insulation. Lights should always be installed high up where your chickens cant get to them. Hanging a light should be done with correct tools to insure it doesn't fall of and start a fire among the hay or whatever shaving your using for litter.

Tip 5 Determining where to put the waters and feeders. Placing them around the coop where it's going to be simple for your chickens to access is best, but sometimes i place them along the wall or straight in the middle of the coop. Chickens will scratch their food a lot so buying feeders that keep chickens from doing this is best. You also do not want them stepping in their food with feces encrusted feet. You can either get a feeder letting only a little bit out at a time, (these can be dear though) so your potentially far better off simply hanging the feeder a little below beak level.
