“I don’t even know where to begin. First of all, the vet that we were seeing in Mesquite was not as attentive, nor friendly enough to ask questions about our pet. We care and love our Westie as most owners do. We only want the best care for her.

Rockwall Vet says you may save a mess of cash and time by utilizing the internet to help build a DIY chicken pen. In reality the most difficult part is finding the proper chicken pen building plans for your unique requirements. This article explains the different options that you have, helping you get to step one in this very practical woodworking project.

Small Vs Large Chicken Pens

If you are only planning on breeding a small amount of chickens, there are two main selections of chicken coops: the a-frame, and the chicken ark. Both share a very similar frame, but end up looking quite different. The biggest difference is that the chicken ark utilizes 2 storeys, whereas the simple a-frame is only one.

As far as large chicken coops go, there are three options: the box-shaped coop, the hen house, and the premium chicken barn. The box-shaped coop is a bit smaller in comparison to the other two, and stands quite tall and narrow. It’s great if you’ve only got a little yard. The hen house and chicken barn are very big, and both employ a huge attached chicken run. They are for the serious chicken breeder.

Picking the Best Wood

All of the previously mentioned chicken pens are built typically from wood. Treated pine is the cheapest and quickest to work with. However, if you want to go for something all natural, and dearer, you can go far wrong with naturally rot resistant cedar.

Other building materials include chicken wire, plywood, chipboard, and metal pickets. Of course, the entire materials list will be included with whatever chicken pen building plans you finally choose to go with.

Where to find Construction Plans

This work is focused on internet-based plans. However, if you do not trust the internet, you’ll potentially be in a position to find high quality chicken coop plans in your local hardware store, or bookstore.

Online plans usually come in packages of multiple designs. This is nice if you don’t really want to make a style call straight away. You’ll be ready to go over each schematic, and choose which is best for your wishes.
