A Small Chicken Coop Tips

January 2nd, 2010
advertisement

Keeping chickens is becoming more and more popular, and it’s not just done on farms any longer. There is a boom in raising chickens in the suburbs and in cities. Small chicken coops allow for non-farmers to furnish healthy, yummy eggs for their family while as well producing a feeling of self-sufficiency and a link with our agricultural roots.

Eggs produced by hens brought up on pasture are nutritionally superior to eggs currently sold in supermarkets. They have far less cholesterol, less saturated fat, more vitamin A and E, more omega-3 fatty acids, and more beta-carotene. Organic eggs produced in your backyard are much more tastier, too.

Hens are actually a lot like any other pets – they bond with their owners, they get along well with children, and like any pet, they are full of surprises. It is now possible to have your very own healthy, happy flock of chickens, not to mention a non-stop supply of delightful eggs, in your own backyard. All that is requisite is a well-designed henhouse and some land where the chickens can move about.

To have a successful and content flock of chickens, they first want sufficient floor space. 6 square feet of floor space per hen is ideal. In addition, the hencoop needs to be dry and well-ventilated, with plenty of oxygen. Satisfactory ventilation also allows unneeded moisture, ammonia, and carbon dioxide to escape. If your chickens are kept dry, they will keep warm and safe, even in cold conditions, and the happier and healthier the hens are, the more eggs they will produce.

Another advantage of raising chickens is that they make high quality manure from their droppings that is rich in nitrogen. This manure is a natural fertiliser and can be recycled in to the owners garden or even sold. The average chicken produces 250 to 300 eggs per year, so excess eggs can also be sold to bolster family income.

There are many advantages to owning a small chicken coop. As well as the delicious eggs and valuable manure, a small chicken coop is portable. In addition, raising chickens is a wonderful chance for children to learn lessons about responsibility, hard work, and the value of money. With all these benefits, it is not surprising that keeping chickens has become such a popular pastime.
