If you are planning on raising your flocks in
the backyard, maybe just for fresh egg purposes or simply just a hobby, you
will surely need an Amish chicken coop.
Building your very own Amish chicken coop is
actually straightforward if you are equipped with the right approach and plan.
To start things out, you must first decide on the number of chickens you have
or you’d like to keep. Say just 2, 3 or 10 maybe? Take note that the greater
the number of your chickens, the bigger the house should be. This is among the
ways that makes your flocks happy.
The next step is selecting the materials to use. Why Amish? For once an Amish built building or
structure, it would surely last almost a lifetime. Materials used by Amish
people in, building any structure are pressed and seam treated, ensuring the
lumber to repeal rots and withstand bad weather. Don’t forget to provide ramps for
easy access to the nesting area and of course proper ventilation.
Make sure your design
is easy access for you, the owner or caregiver, as well. See to it that food
and water container is within your reach and your livestock's’. Provide heating
system by putting in some bulb or lights inside the coop. Doors must be
accessible making it easy for you to check on eggs from the nesting area.
Amish chicken coops come
in a variety of designs and structure. Some may come as portable and some
others permanent. Go for the one that truly captivates your attention and suits
your needs.
If you aren't the
handy type guy, you can opt for chicken coop kits. They are available in your
local stores or could be purchased online and will be delivered at your
doorstep. Simply follow the steps provided and you’d have a hassle free coop!
