Determine The Chicken Poultry Design and Build Poultry House

August 18, 2011

What is The Best Chicken Poultry Design.

As you begin, It will be important to decide which coop will suit your backyard from amongst the variety of Chicken poultry designs.

But you need not worry, the comprehensive guide available on this link   Chicken Coops To Build will assist you in determining the factors that will influence the chicken coop to build in your backyard.

Factors Affecting Your Choice of Chicken Poultry Design.

Some of the  factors that will determine the type of Chicken Poultry Design to use are;

  1. The breed of chicken that you would want to rear. Do you want to raise chickens for egg production, for poultry meat or for both purposes.  This will determine the design of the type  coop you will build.
  2. Decide if you want to rear the chicken for domestication or for commercial purposes.  Chickens for domestic use require little attention compared to those reared for commercial reasons.  They also require less space and therefore less cost.
  3. The space available in your backyard will determine the size and type of the chicken coops to build. If the space is small you can build a small mobile chicken coop that you can move around. If you intend to keep many chickens, it is important to build the chicken coop at a distance from your house to keep the odour from the chickens in check.
  4. The time you have in your hands is also important.  If you are a busy person, you can start by building a small coop and expand it slowly.  This also applies if the amount of money you have to build the coop is limited.
  5. Consider the types of predators that exist around your area that can cause damage to the chickens and the eggs.  For ground moving predators such as snakes, ants, termites and so on it would be appropriate to raise the floor of the poultry house from the ground to protect the chickens.  If there are predators such as dogs, raccoons, cats, skunks and coyote use strong building materials and ensure they have a foundation blow the ground to stop any access by digging.
  6. The environmental conditions of your locality also determine how you he build the poultry house.  Extreme cold conditions will require the use of durable and insulated materials.  Adequate heat will have to be provided to the chickens.  In areas experiencing heavy rainfall, it will be necessary to lift the floor of the chicken coop above the ground.
