What on earth happened? Was all I could ask. We had built a Chicken Coop to mention teach our children about sustainable Life and responsibility (not the eggs!) And we wake up to find some missing.
We live in a highly developed urban area and built a barn in our small backyard, so we could not disturb expected, our chickens. But we were wrong. We had so much enjoyed our chicken coop and I was determined to not let happen again. This is what I discovered, works best to protect the chicks, if you live in a big city or on a highway.
First, it is important to build door to that a chicken coop, you can safely disable or close das. This ensures nothing can get in the Coop at night. The chicken will be OK, which of course sleeping in their nest boxes in the course of the evening. Creation of a secure door that can be closed or simply turned off will keep unwanted guests out.
Furthermore, it is important to set up a safe flooring system have. If you simply put your chicken coop on the ground in the dirt in your yard or garden, it is possible for a small animal trench through the ground and next, know what you give, you end up missing chicken. Something as simple as putting chicken wire on the dirt away to other animals.
Finally, it is important to secure the windows and other openings with wire or mesh. Thus, light can be in, but also keeps predators. Animals such as raccoons, not in a position, their little paws reach in and try a few eggs or chicken dinner.
I hope this information about building Your chicken house will help you in your chickens.
Howdy! I’m not a farmer but I sure do love my chicken coop. Not only does it provide a great family project, a source of entertainment and free organic eggs, my family and neighbors are learning about sustainable living and organic gardening practices. Learn more about chicken coops and what they can do for you.
