#CHICKEN COOP BLUEPRINTS ZIP#
Zip tie the arches together at the top and down the sides. You can allow the ground to work with you and hold the panels in place where you want them. You’ll simply bend your two cattle panels to make two arches. The best part is there really is no perfect way to do this. But it’s a great option when you’re in a bind. The only difference is that the one we’re building is meant to be a temporary structure that isn’t easily movable each day (or at all). If you’re looking for more of a solid structure that can be moved around like a chicken tractor, I highly recommend checking out John Suscovich’s chicken tractor plans, which look a lot like the one we’re making in this blog post, but they are much more professional. Random zip ties and wires, or staples (because every farm runs off of this).8 two-by-four’s OR 6 to 8 t-posts (we normally opt for t-posts for a quick pop up coop).1 Large tarp (at least 16×20, but larger is always better).
#CHICKEN COOP BLUEPRINTS FULL SIZE#
3 cattle panels–depending on how long you want the coop (I recommend 2 full size, and one full size cut in half - you’ll see more in instructions).But I’ll at least give you a list of what you’ll need and some basic instructions. This is literally a “here’s a photo, it’s that simple” type of blog post. Now, this blog post isn’t a “make cuts here and screw things there” type of thing. If not, it’s just a quick run to the local farm store or home improvement store. You only need a few things that you may already have laying around the homestead. Now that we’re more experienced, setting up a quick and easy chicken coop is, well, easy.
I’ll never suggest that type of DIY chicken coop, but hey, you do what you have to do! Literally, they sat underneath a tarped area sectioned off with gardening wire. When we arrived home, they had no place to live. Have you ever tried to catch a chicken in a field? Yeah, it’s about darn near impossible. She told me we could have them as our very first chickens. I’ll never forget that late summer evening in the middle of a field, trying to catch two chickens that a friend of mine had left behind when she moved the week before. In fact, he often threatens to get rid of his chickens (aka, my chickens), and I just chuckle. I remind him of this often, because he isn’t the “chicken” type at all. I can remember when my husband first told me he wanted to get chickens. Make it a chicken tractor, and we’ve got a deal! A DIY chicken coop is even better especially if you’re on a budget. Is there even such a thing? With the plethora of chicken coop plans that are out there, sometimes we just want something simple and easy.
