When it comes to chicken coop plans there are a lot of opinions out there. Some will say that it is easier to go to the store and pick up a pre-made chicken coop while others will argue that it is better to build the coop from a set of plans. Today we are going to weigh the pros and cons of using a blueprint to build a chicken coop.
First off, the one negative to going out and buying a chicken coop that is pre-made is the fact that it costs quite a bit of money. In some cases it could cost close to $1000. I don't know about you but it seems to me that not a lot of people have that money to spend so the next best option would be to use a set of chicken coop plans.
Chicken coop plans can be challenging to use so it is essential that you do research and buy the best ones that you can find. You want to find a set of plans that will accommodate your own needs. For example, if you plan on building a large coop then you will need to find a set of plans for a large chicken coop. If you want to get really technical you could always look for a set of plans that incorporates both large and small coops. This might end up costing you a bit more though.
You also need to take your chickens into account. Don't get a set of plans that you know will cram your chickens together. It has been reported that really crammed chickens can cannibalize. I know it sounds crazy but the last thing you need is your own chickens trying to eat each other.
Overall, building a chicken coop from a set of plans is a great way to go if you want to be cost effective. I suggest you think long and hard before you make any impulsive decisions to buy a pre-made coop. Chances are you could save up to 80% by building the coop yourself.
