Raising chickens can be a lot of fun.
However deciding what to put them in can be a potential nightmare.
My goal here is to help you decide whether making a chicken house is the right decision for you.
Since your reading this article it is probably pretty safe to assume that you are interested in keeping chickens and have started researching this subject right? Well then I'm sure you have seen the cost of ready made chicken coops on the market these days.
With some of them costing thousands of dollars I can assure you that building your own coop will save you hundreds.
However building a chicken coop is not right for everyone.
It takes some degree of craftsmanship, a willingness to learn, and a good work ethic.
Sound like you? Then you will probably really enjoy making a chicken house.
It is an experience that is not only leaves rewarding but also leaves you with a set of skills you probably did not have before.
Anyways if this article has aroused your interest in building chicken coops then you may be wondering where to begin right? My suggestion is to begin by buying a good blueprint or set of instructions for your hen house.
Having a good set of plans to follow will make your project fun and enjoyable instead of frustrating.
Plans also give you enough room to apply your own touches so that your coop is unique.
Just remember you don't need to be a carpenter to enjoy making a chicken house, you just need a good set of plans.
