A lot of people think that it is expensive to have a chicken coop.
Actually it is not, what's expensive is if you will choose to buy a pre built one.
If you decide to pull off a DIY project then you'll end up saving as much as 80% of the selling cost.
What if you don't have any background? Or maybe you're thinking that making plans for a chicken coop requires professional and carpentry skills, well that's not true at all.
Planning is the hardest part but as long as you have a reliable guide with you then you're on your way to building the chicken house that you've always dreamed of.
One way to save money when making plans for a chicken coop is looking for a plan and I'm not just talking about any free plans here.
Yes you will find a lot of free chicken coop plans online but most of them will not give you what you are truly looking for.
Having a good plan will help eliminate the trial-and-error phase and just stick to what you are really supposed to do.
These plans are not expensive at all and what I like about them is that they provide detailed instructions and it wouldn't matter whether you're a neophyte or an expert.
Look for a plan that includes money saving tips.
Have you ever thought about using recycled materials for your chicken coop? There are some chicken keepers who use billboard materials as a covering.
These are inexpensive and what's great about them is that they have UV protection and they make good coverings for any animal pen.
