       If you want to build your own chicken coop, here are three
       essentials you should include. Your chicken coop should be rain
       proof. It should also be built to last. Finally, the coop should
       provide protection from predators. Let’s take a look at why
       these three elements are so important to your chicken coop
       building plans.
       First of all, build a chicken coop that is rain proof. Keeping
       your chickens dry is important to your chickens’ health and
       happiness. (Healthier, happier chickens are more prolific egg
       layers!) If your coop doesn’t do its job by keeping out the
       rain, the dampness could lead to an increase in disease. Why
       risk your investment in chickens and feed by cutting corners on
       the coop. Besides, making a chicken coop dry doesn’t have to be
       expensive.
       Next, build your chicken coop to last. It only makes sense that
       if you are putting in the effort to build it yourself, why not
       make it sturdy and long-lasting? Also, plan ahead for the number
       of chickens you plan to have in the future. This may seem crazy
       if you only have one or two chickens now, but you’ll be glad you
       did it later on. Even if you don’t make it big enough for your
       future chickens, choose a design that can be easily expanded.
       Finally, build a chicken coop that protects your hens from
       predators. You may not see the danger today, but you will be
       surprised at the predators that come around when your chickens
       move into the neighborhood. It doesn’t matter whether you live
       in the countryside or in the suburbs. There are both two and
       four-legged predators that want to steal what you have, so plan
       for a coop that provides some basic security.
       Your chickens can be both a fun hobby and a valuable asset. So
       when you put together your chicken coop, build a quality
       structure that will keep them dry and protected. If you take
       care of them, they will take care of you.
       Building a chicken coop like this doesn’t have to be difficult
       or expensive. For more information, including step-by-step
