Many people these days are interested in keeping chickens. In this way they safe a lot of money, because they will produce their own fresh eggs and meat. If you are one of them, then building a chicken coop is a must. There are several ways to get a chicken coop. One option is of course buying a pre-built chicken coop that comes in many different designs and sized, or you can build a chicken coop yourself. It is fairly easy to do and can be completed in just a single day. The basic thing you will need when you decide making a chicken coop yourself is a good chicken coop blueprint that will show you step by step how to complete the task.
A chicken coop should not just be something to house your chickens in to feed them and lay their eggs. It needs to be a fortress of some sort and should protect them from predators. In building your own chicken coop, consider a few factors like location, size, climate, protection and design. You need to plan accordingly in constructing the coop because without planning, you may end up regretting or losing the drive to finish it. Furthermore, it may also cost you much more than what you anticipated. That’s why it is a great starting point to follow basic building tips. This will enable you to get the project done as soon as you can and will help you avoid additional expenses. A number of free chicken coop building plans can be found online, and in most cases you can download them immediately. While anybody can make a nice-looking chicken coop and make it look very easy to create, your chances of finding out all the things and materials that you missed will surface during the building process. This is why getting a chicken coop blueprint is a wise decision.
Quality chicken coop blueprint comes with more than just pictures. It should have a professionally designed plan which includes the following information:
· List of materials needed (hardware, etc.) during construction
· A cut list
· Diagrams which are easy to read and has specific details
· Footings and foundation information
· Roof plans and rafter details
· Straightforward and easy to follow building instructions

Hehe…….Logan reluctantly shares his breakfast.
Today my husband went hiking after building the chicken coop…my job was to buil a WALKIN CHICKEN YARD. This is a no-wood-cutting project. The Walkin Chicken yard, is built quickly and is enough room for 6 chickens. The chicken yard is covered on all sides with poulty wire, including the ceiling. The simple to build modules can be assembled in minutes. The cost was less than 60 dollars. I built this in 3 1/2 hours by myself. Tonight we moved the new pullets into their chicken coop palace.

A chicken coop is a building where chickens are kept. Inside there are often nest boxes for egg laying and perches on which the birds can sleep, although coops for meat birds seldom have either of these features.
A coop may have an outdoor run. Both the inside and outdoor floors of a chicken coop are often strewn with a loose material such as straw or wood chips to deal with chicken droppings and to allow for easier cleanup. Most chicken coops have some means of ventilation to help air out any smells.
