This is helpful for those who are thinking of becoming a chicken keeper. There is much to consider before beginning, and this article highlights some of the housing considerations.
Overall, a good article on the pros/cons of housing chickens. A couple of areas I don't completely agree on are, 1) having an electrical outlet to heat a coop (it would be helpful for having a light though) and, 2) the cost of building a coop (cost can be significantly lowered using recycled/found materials). Other than that, the author presents some good food for thought on which type of housing would work best for the reader.
