Thank you for visiting Build a Backyard Chicken Coop! We are joining the backyard chicken coop and chicken raising movement! It is exciting. Think about starting your day every morning with the sunrise, collecting some organic eggs and letting your chickens out to roam. There are so many techniques that work for different people. Some people go with chicken tractors, others go with large chicken coops and there are even green roof chicken coops on the market. The key to build a backyard chicken coop is deciding what is right for you. You need to consider what you want out of your chicken coop. To do that, you need to have a good feeling for the local laws in your community, the number of chickens you want to raise and the purpose behind raising those chickens. Some people raise chickens for meat, some for eggs and others just want some pets (as baby chicks are adorable). When you have answered those questions, you can start thinking about the type of chickens you might like and the type of chicken house you want to build for those chickens.

We are just getting started but we hope to be a community resource or at least point you in the right direction to find the information you might need! If you have any input, feel free to contact us anytime: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
