DIY Chicken Coop Design & Construction

Coop Builder's Guide

If you're going to raise backyard chickens, you will need, at some point, a chicken coop for your flock to call their own. In the early stages when your flock consists of chicks you can get by with only a box or some other container (and a light system to keep your birds warm). But ultimately you'll need a coop. But don't worry, building your own coop can be both easy and fun even if you aren't a master carpenter.
