How to, Tips, Photos, DIY Guide

Not having read any reviews, I was expecting a book aimed simply at the carpenter or handyman seeking guidance on how to “bang in the nails” and assemble a chicken house

This guide is so, very much more. To begin with, you are given advice on which species of chickens are most suitable for your circumstances and garden, and how they should best be fed. Emphasis is placed upon preparing everything before your chickens arrive.

I hadn’t really given much thought to the space needed “per chicken”, but this is such an important factor, and it’s explained so simply. Likewise with the nesting boxes.I didn’t have a clue before I read this book, and certainly didn’t expect a book called “Building A Chicken Coop” to provide me with this comprehensive information. It lists the jobs that must be carried out on a regular basis for you (called husbandry), and even covers the health of your chickens and their eggs. Click Here To Download The Book

The best part of the whole guide however, is the reason I bought it…the planning and construction of the coop itself.

First of all, I have to say that I’m not especially gifted at DIY. Sure, I can measure, saw, drill and hammer, but not with any great skill. The tools required are all very basic. If I had bought the same coop that I have built it would have cost me double.

The construction plans are so easy to understand, and because the book is on my computer I was able to reprint a few that I messed up. In addition, they are in color.
