Build an A-Frame Chicken Coop

Among all of the varied architecture designs for chicken coops, the "A-frame" chicken coop is decidedly one of the easiest to build. As the name of this type of coop indicates, the frame is shaped like the letter "A". It is triangular in shape. In fact it is so easy to build, that as long as you have all of the materials, it can be built in less than one day. All you need are the plywood boards, a drill or a nail gun, some nails, or screws, and a saw.

A well-designed chicken coop should not cost very much to build. It should be able to adapt manifold nests, manifold perches, a place for eating and drinking. Very leading is the fact that your coup must have wire mesh to cover any windows and doors, to keep predators out and to keep the chickens in.

Before you get started on construction it, here are some very leading construct considerations that you should think about as part of the planning process:

1. How many chickens do you intend to house in your chicken coop? You need to supply enough space for each chicken to have entrance to a nest, to perches, to the designated areas for eating and drinking.
2. How much egg output output are you expecting to get from your chickens?
3. Are you aware of any predators (animals that might want to come and strike or eat your chickens) that you need to keep your chickens safe from, in the normal area? protection of your chickens is leading since dogs and other such animals may take an interest in and try to strike your chickens.
4. How are you going to safe your chickens during adverse weather conditions? Will your coop supply enough protection and protection against the elements?
5. Are you going to allow your chickens some degree of free time to roam nearby in the yard? Can you build a fenced enclosure nearby the sheltered parts of the coop?
6. Do you want your chicken coop to be equipped with wheels, so as to be mobile? You may have obvious situations where it is desirable to move your chicken coop nearby in the yard, to convert its orientation against the sun, to move it under or move it out from under trees, to bring it closer to the house, or to move it out of the way due to the need to perform some yard work.

Addressing each of these considerations is important, if you wish to raise some happy chickens!
