Choosing A Poultry House

How to Choose a Chicken Coop

Both wooden and plastic hen houses have their pros and cons.

Please be aware that some poultry houses for sale can be rather misleading about how many birds will fit inside.

Your coop needs to be big enough for the number of chickens you have, well ventilated and easy to clean.

You can get quite addicted to keeping chickens, so assume you may get more and may need a bigger coop than you first thought – remember, as my dear old grandma used to say, ‘What holds a lot holds a little…’
