build it yourself

[Polly Fouracre]

I've seen a lot of people on here needing plans for hen housing and not being at all practical have been of no help.
Today I've bought a book on pig-keeping and found this.

There are lots of books on amazon about build coops and some start at 1p, I have ordered one as we have plans on getting a large coop next year, so why not have a go building one. There are also lots of books on poultry keeping and health.

It's a lot easier to adapt an old shed! That's what I've done simply by cutting a pophole in it, adding three nest boxes and a roosting perch!

I still fancy building a chicken tractor as well though and have the plans formulated in my head................it's just a case of getting the saw out and making a start I suppose!
