Do You Want To Build A Chicken Coop?

"How A Complete Novice Built His Own Chicken Coop...
And Saved Himself Over $600!"

Date: February 2010

Dear Fellow Chicken Enthusiast,

A warm welcome to you and thanks for visiting my site today!

My name is Steve and along with my wife and 4 children we have been keeping 4 chickens for over 2 years now. When we first made the decision to keep chickens to be honest I didn't know where to start! I am just a regular husband and father, what did I know about raising chickens?

Sound familiar?

This was something that I really wanted to do so I talked to chicken-keeping friends and to our local farmer for their advice. I learned a lot and began to understand what we needed to do if we were going to keep happy, healthy chickens that would provide us with fresh eggs every day. We now get on average 3 eggs every day!

Once I had a good understanding of how to look after chickens properly I researched chicken coops, mainly on the internet. I was shocked at how expensive they were! I found that it would cost me anything up to $1,000 for a chicken coop that would provide a good home for 4 chickens (incidentally ours are called Ebony, Matilda, Kooky and Caley).

I have to say that my heart sank and I felt like giving up on the idea - I simply couldn't afford that sort of money. My budget would only stretch to $350 and even the smallest and most basic of pre-built chicken coops cost more money than that.

A friend suggested that I could build my own - all I would need was a good set of chicken coop plans and a few tools. But the problem was that I was a complete novice at DIY, could I really build my own chicken coop? I looked again on the internet and I was pleasantly surprised at all the 'free' chicken coop plans out there. However, I found that these so-called free plans were ok but they assumed that you were some kind of woodworking expert and they were really hard to understand. I tried 5 different sets of chicken coop plans - all the same.

Back to the drawing board.

Undeterred I kept looking, and by this time I had decided that I didn't mind paying for plans providing that they were clear and easy to follow. I drew up a short list of what I was looking for and searched again. What I found was that the same 2 chicken coop plans seemed to come up in searches again and again.

What I liked about both websites was that they obviously catered for novices and experts alike and they both offered a wide variety of chicken coop plans designs. They were affordable and offered a number of free bonuses.

Bingo! I had found just what I was looking for.

I decided to go with www.buildingachickencoop.com. I liked the website and the plans were designed by a chicken farmer with over 40 years experience. I figured that with 40 years experience he must know what he is talking about. Incidentally, if you want to visit his site click here.

Another friend was also considering keeping chickens so we decided that I would buy one set of plans and my friend would buy the other. We had a bit of a friendly bet on who would build the best chicken coop and set to work! This is what we both thought of the plans that we downloaded.

[Tim writes] A really comprehensive set of chicken coop plans!. If you want to know how to build your own chicken coop then these plans are perfect for you. Even if you are a complete novice you will succeed with these plans. All you need is a saw, a hammer and a screwdriver and off you go!

What I think sets this product out from the rest is the full range of video tutorials that accompany the plans that you get; both helped me every step of the way, and I found it particularly useful being to refer to the videos if I got stuck.

Downloading was fast and easy to do and at $39.97 (it is normally priced at $197) it offers superb value for money. If that wasn't enough I got 7 bonus products completely free of charge!
