chicken coop in the country
A small chicken coop is suitable for summer cottage, for keeping several birds. If the owners are not going to seriously engage in farming, of course. Then it makes sense to think about more impressive designs. But in order to have fresh eggs to the table every day, moreover, natural and environmentally friendly, this is enough.
Chickens kept in this way are deprived of the possibility of skodding in the beds and dirty in the yard, but they are provided with fresh air and green fodder. Birds can be provided with proper care, and the house itself is in some ways even a decoration of the backyard. Some plants are planted on it, and in a closing box you can store food supplies.
But you can make a more compact chicken coop, also portable, for 5-6 chickens. Also, a small aviary is installed on top and in the lower part. The design is very lightweight, can be transported together using ordinary pens.
The photo shows how to build such a simple structure in stages.
We tighten the lower sidewalls with a grid.
Here is such a structure. As you can see, there is no bottom in the aviary, which is very convenient in that you can always transfer the chicken coop to fresh grass. A special “gangway” is lowered from the upper part of the enclosure so that the hens can rise and descend in the middle of the chicken coop; hinged doors are provided from the ends.
To make it convenient to raise and lower the ladder, a simple lifting mechanism is provided.
If you prepare all the materials, such a chicken coop can be done in a couple of hours. So expand the economy and let the hens please you with fresh products.
