My grandfather was a farmer, he raised chickens. He taught all of his boys how to raise chickens too and my dad taught me. Let's just say we've been around chickens and farms for a long time. Now that I live in a city we had a different type of chicken coop to build a backyard chicken coop. It's all fine and dandy because I went ahead and got some of the most recommended guides on the net for building your own chicken coop and got to work. The heck if I was going to shell out $2,000 for a pre-made, no-name piece of junk. Take your pic from the below 3 chicken coop plans. I guarantee you can't go wrong, and my grandfather would agree.
