 There are a number of aspects that you must keep in mind when looking for chicken houses for sale. Below is a list of the 7 super-duper important ones to consider when shopping for a coop.

Space - Every bird should have three square feet of area in the coop itself, and ten square feet of space in the run. A run is a protected outdoor area where your hens can get out and do their chicken things.Food and Water - Every bird should have access to plenty of fresh water. Hopefully your run will be large enough, and perhaps even portable, so your chickens can be as close to "free-range" as possible. With a diet of bugs and tender plants, your feed will be a supplement. Still, your chickens should have grain readily available.Roosts - Every bird should have a least ten inches of reserved seating on roosts that are a foot or so above the chicken house floor. They should be about an inch square with rounded edges.Nesting - Every bird should have access to a nesting box of about one square foot, and there should be one box for every two to three hens.Cleanliness - Every bird deserves a clean, well ventilated space. Your coop should be easy to clean so you don't keep putting it off. Appliances for food and water should be easy to refill and easy to clean.Temperature - Every bird needs to be warm and dry. If you live in a harsh climate, hot or cold, get a breed of birds that is acclimated to such. You don't want your coop to get colder than the low 50's or hotter than the mid 80's.


Security - Every bird needs to be protected from varmints to include rats, mice, snakes, hawks, owls, pigeons, crows, and even bacteria and mold. Any screening should have holes no larger than an inch. Since some varmints can burrow, underground security should be considered. Don't forget the neighborhood cats and dogs.Once you're ready to begin your chicken house search, a good to place to begin is - surprise - the Internet.
