This moveable chicken coop was designed to keep costs low, be easily converted between use for meat birds or egg laying chickens, and also to be easy to clean (just move forward to fresh ground, and voila, a clean coop!) These plans were written by real homesteaders who actually built two of these coops for our own small homestead over 3 years ago! We still use them to this day - one for our egg laying flock & the other for our meat birds. ☺️

If you want the build plans to make this for your flock, let me know! 🛠️

Beth | Quality Chicken Coops for Happy Flocks on Instagram: "When building a new chicken coop or when in the market to buy a new one this are 5 mistakes you NEED to avoid. 

1. Poor ventilation:
🪟Chickens need adequate ventilation. It is vital for their health. Fresh airflow and good ventilation will add to good health and prevent respiratory infections. 

2. Using chicken wire:
⛓️Chicken wire is a pretty common go-to. And while it is relatively cheap it is not as strong as using hardware cloth. If you live in a place where you deal with predators I’d recommend opting to hardware cloth. Hardware cloth is stronger, thicker, and will last forever. 

3. Hard to clean:
🧼 Dealing with a coop that is hard to clean is just a big headache! Ease of cleaning is a game changer. Adding in a floor li Cheap Chicken Coops, Walk In Chicken Coop, Hardware Cloth, Building A Chicken Coop, Chicken Coop Plans, Chicken Wire, Raising Chickens, Chicken Coop, Coop

Alysha Whitfield | Bee Jeweled Coop on Instagram: "This daily routine changed my life! When we built our chicken coop, I knew I wanted to make daily cleaning a priority. A walk-in coop is a lot easier to clean but, if you have one that isn’t, these materials, tools and tips could absolutely help you as well.  The Chicken Run:  ✔️ I clean the run with a dog 💩 scoop I found locally. You can also find it online (ask me where!) ✔️ The floor is a crushed granite sand. You’ll want something that is a bit coarse and not super fine. Play sand is not an option as it can harm the chicken’s respiratory system.  The Coop: ✔️ I use a kitty litter scoop with a long handle to clean the roost shelf. ✔️ I use coffee ground bedding for the inside of the coop. This bedding is processed to be safe for chicke Chicken Coop Sand, Chicken Coop Bedding, Inside Chicken Coop, Crushed Granite, Chicken Roost, Sand Floor, Walk In Chicken Coop, Play Sand, Clean Chicken
