Summary
More and more people are deciding to keep chickens in their garden, not just for a supply of delicious, healthy, free range eggs, but also because they are friendly, funny and delightful animals to have around. If you are considering keeping hens for the first time, or increasing your existing flock, you need to be able to give them the right kind of living environment: enough space to run around, and a safe, warm, secure house to sleep in at night.
Even in the biggest garden you will also need to consider what else happens there, other pets, children, tending vegetable patches, barbecues and outdoor eating, so you need to choose where you site your flock carefully. All these considerations, together with the size of nesting boxes, how to make perches, ramps, ladders, and feeding and drinking areas, are covered in this book.
Each of the 12 unique designs are easy and inexpensive to build, will look great in your garden, and mean you can be sure your hens will be living in comfort and security. All designs come with easy-to-follow measurements, 3D plans and illustrations, together with lists and illustrations of tools and materials.
Whether you want a mobile henhouse, a house on stilts, or a special run for top laying hens, the illustrated step-by-step instructions will show you exactly how to select and build your own dream hen house to ensure that you will raise happy and productive chickens.
