Review:
Having a great chicken house plans is essential to your success in egg rearing. Chicken house plans can and will eliminate any problems you may run in to in the near future and secure a great home for you new pets. I know this, NOW! When it came to how to build a hen house I didn’t realize that it requires a little bit of planning first, and this you can trust me on.
Don’t me wrong here, I am the first one to jump in and start a project without giving it to much thought, and without looking at directions, and has generally worked out fine for me. And so I decided I didn’t need someone else’s chicken house plans, I certainly would be able to figure out how to build a hen house myself. Which leads me to my story of how I became such a fan of the book Building A Backyard Chicken Coop by Bill Keene.
I was raised, or so I like to tell others, to figure out it on my own. “Men don’t need directions!” As it turns out, most of my life I was able to fly by with this theory and never had any problems building or fixing anything. I have taken apart lawn mowers, I have installed ceiling fans, I have built a dog house, and I have even done plumbing, without ever looking at an instruction manual. So I figured I certainly knew how to build a hen house, it definately can’t be any harder than those other things. Turns out I learned the hard way that that is not true. I proceeded to the hardware store and purchased what I believed where all the necessary supplies and got to business that day with my very own chicken house plans.
All went well, at first. With my brilliant chicken house plans that I had laid out, my coop looked attractive enough, seemed pretty sound and I have to say I was quite proud of it. We then purchased chickens and we were well on our way to becoming backyard farmers with our very own fresh eggs. We took pictures and even bragged about it to the neighbors. Shortly after however, to our own embarrassment, we soon to found out that ‘I’ did not realize what real chickens may need to thrive, or even to survive.
To make a long story short, our chickens started pecking each other and pulling feathers out each other. Our chickens soon started looking less lively and very quickly stopped producing eggs. I knew it couldn’t be something we were doing wrong, and it certainly didn’t have anything to do with extensive knowledge on how to build a hen house. At which point I decided, ok the world wide web will have all the answers, so I do a little research to find that my coop probably wasn’t not only big enough, but my chickens were not getting enough sunlight to thrive either, therefore they were frustrated and irritated and began to ‘fight’ with each other. To which my solutions was to build on to my coop. Ok, not a big deal, but my chicken house plan did not involve an addition, so room was running out. If this didn’t work, I didn’t know what I was going to do. Another trip to the hardware store later and my chicken house plan was again looking fabulous and I was ready to feel pride again. About 2 weeks later, as we are going to collect our eggs for our new found family pets, we find them, and I’m sorry to say, gone! Did they run away? We searched the area to no avail. Our entire flock is missing??? My wife and I are dumbfounded, so I again begin doing my research on the web to find answers and realized it is quite possible that my pet poultry has been a dinner for a very lucky predator. We never did find out for sure what happened to them, we like to believe they ran away and are living a beautiful backyard coop on the other side of town, but I assure you, we will never forget that day and the embarrassment of eating my words about how perfectly hopeful I was that I knew how to build a hen house.
So my advice to anyone is, the embarrassment of what I went through is a lot less then admitting you don’t know how to build a hen house, and that maybe, just maybe a good idea would be to find some worthy chicken house plans, and that even a man that can usually get away without reading directions can use a little help when it comes to a chicken house plans. Let my mistake be a lesson to you. I did end up purchasing a book on how to build a chicken coop after all anyways, and we now have a lively flock that is producing great amounts of eggs for us and I recommend it to everyone! Building a Backyard Chicken Coop by Bill Keene is essential in raising chickens, do, please heed my advice and purchase a copy before jumping in. It not only has great instructions on how to build a hen house, but also, great advise on daily maintenance and raising of pet poultry.
