Keeping chickens is quite beneficial. 10 chickens will bring 8-10 eggs every day. The question arises: how to make a chicken coop so that the bird is comfortable and the owner does not spend a lot of money.

As a rule, the chicken coop is made stationary. But it's easier and more convenient to make it portable. You can move the house to any location at any time. For 1 sq. m. can accommodate 2-4 hens.

The advantages of a portable chicken coop are that you do not need to tear the grass, chop it up. One has only to move the structure and there will be fresh green fodder. Moreover, you will get rid of weeds.

There are also such advantages: fertilization of the soil, no need to clean up after the bird, clean the bedding. It is much more convenient to wash a portable chicken coop.

The chicken coop can be a decoration of the site.

Now many people make a portable chicken coop in several tiers. Above is a roof with a lawn or flowering plants. To make it easy to carry, the chicken coop is made on wheels.

You can make 4 wheels or just 2 on one side and a handle on the other.

It is best to move the house every day to a different location. This will protect chickens from diseases, allow the bird to receive fresh feed. The chicken coop will protect the bird from predators and the eggs will be intact.

1. The portable chicken coop has a frame with a stretched mesh. You can buy such a building or do it yourself. The easiest one is to put together 2 triangular frames from a bar.

Connect them with boards. A non-transparent material must be nailed on top to protect the chickens from the sun. You can attach plywood. Tighten the rest of the place with a netting or any plastic mesh. Air will freely pass through the mesh, relieve high humidity inside the chicken coop.

2. There is such an option. We cut out the side parts from the panels of the old chiffonier with a jigsaw. Connect the 2 parts from below with boards and screw the mesh on top.

In one part of the chipboard, make a door to put food and change the water.
