Took some video clips in the hen house today … since it’s so cold outside, lots of them were inside, doing their best to keep warm. Gonna be a chilly one tonight; lots of extra snacks were on hand to give them a boost. You can meet more of my chickens and see photos here: sweetmissdaisy.typepad.com

Chicken Housing

November 19th, 2009 No comments

Getting the right type of housing all depends on what you want for your chickens and what type of space you have available. Many people keep livestock for various reasons and they also keep it in a variety of different locations and environments.

Take a look at where you are planning on keeping your stock and they should give you a good place to start.

What I mean by this is if you have a large amount of space that is safe for chickens to roam free you will not need any kind of run to keep them contained. Therefore you will probably need a simple type of night shelter for the hens or roosters to use during the dark hours or whilst the whether is extreme and they may require some extra cover.

However if you live in a more enclosed environment, have neighbours nearby or simply don’t have a lot of land you will need to keep your birds contained a little more. Obviously you will need to give appropriate space so that their quality of life is good ,but this is where some type of wire mesh run or coop will be best.

One of the most popular designs is some type of house that has run extending from the exit. This gives your chickens a house to shelter in at night or when weather is extreme but it also gives them space to roam around, peck the ground for feed and also to mix in a community of other animals. This is a great way of keeping your feathered friends secure from natural predators too.
