How To Build A Chicken Coop Series
If you’re looking for instructions on how to build a chicken coop, you’ve come to the right place!
My husband and I built our own backyard chicken coop from the ground up, with no plans or experience, in the spring of 2017. When we were searching for coop ideas online, I was greatly discouraged by the lack of detailed information available. Either you had to pay for plans that might not be what you really wanted, or there were cute photos of coops but no directions to go with them. My goal was to take careful notes and photos throughout the process, and share what we learned here. We are certainly not building experts, but we have put together a 3-part series with as much information as possible to help guide you as you build your own chicken coop.
