    How many chickens per square foot?

    Yes the only reason why I like to keep building coops that hold chickens every 2 square feet is that my customers have only so much space to put there chickens. These coops generally come with a run but does not show in the photo. So it is good to know that as long as there is a good size run, I...

    Build a 3'x3' Chicken Coop for $50

    The question is what should my next coop look like, I don't know if I should go fancy like my other coops or if I should go simple and affordable, this coop I showed on this thread is as simple as I can get, but I just charge $150 to build it. If I can build a 5x5 for less than $100 in material...

    Build a 3'x3' Chicken Coop for $50

    Ok I think the next coop I should build should be a 5x5 coop that will hold up to 6 chickens because realizing the size of my original coops, they would only hold about 3 chickens. Thanks guys

    Build a 3'x3' Chicken Coop for $50

    Yea I originally build sheds because I knew there was a market to make them way more affordable, but then I found that there are companies that charge 3 times as much compared to the quality coops I build and it is really fun making them more affordable. Thanks for the complement

    How many chickens per square foot?

    On one of my last threads, I head that a chicken coop cannot hold 1 chicken every two square feet. I looked it up on google and thought it was 1 chicken every 2 sq ft but I guess I was mislead. So what is the actual rule for this? For example I thought this 4x4 coop would have been able to hold...

    Build a 3'x3' Chicken Coop for $50

    Thanks for all your suggestions. I go overboard on my other coops, but I missed quite a few things because I was trying to make it as simple and as affordable as possible. I was planning on selling it for $100. I can change out the wire and I already have a door for the run in the back. I know...

    Build a 3'x3' Chicken Coop for $50

    I never knew much about the snake issue, but it makes sense with the eggs. Is there a recommended wire size needed to prevent snakes from getting in.

    Barn Stall Conversion Question

    If you are looking to use minimal cost on your stall. I would recommend to just use Chicken Wire to seal off the openings to prevent chickens from escaping. But if it were me, I would frame an extra layer of OSB sheathing to seal off the the boarder of the stall. Then I would frame the stall...
