In everything that you do, if you want to do it right, there should be plans. This would make things easier to execute. When you have already sketched your plans, you would also be able to manage your time well.

Plans for a chicken coop
should be made precisely to give the best home to the best chickens in your
area. The better the quality of your chickens are, the more chances you have of
making it big in the poultry industry.
First, avoid making chicken
coops which are too small for the number of chickens that you will house. Count
all the number of chickens that you will raise as a start of your poultry farm.
Take into consideration that it is advisable for each chicken to occupy 4 sq.
ft to give them enough room to move around. A cramped up room for chickens
might not let them grow to the best potential that they could have. If you are
aiming to raise healthy chickens, then you have to obey this tip.
Second, do not forget to provide access points to your chicken coop. Some
builders and owners only have in their minds that chicken coops are built to
keep the fowls in, and this is exactly the reason why some coops are built
without access to it for easy cleaning, feeding, watering, and harvesting of
the eggs.

Third, do not just put up
your chicken coop anywhere. The location of the coop should not depend entirely
on your whims, wherever you like it. There are many things to consider before
you should come up with the final decision of the coop抯 location. To avoid
water problems, situate the coop in an elevated area to provide natural
drainage for water. For the coop not to easily get wet, the roof should be
built with a visible elevation too for water not to get deposited inside it and
for water to flow directly onto the ground. For the coop抯 interior to easily
dry up in case it gets wet, the floors should be slanting. A wet-proof coop
will help contribute to maintaining healthy chickens. If they stay dry, they
will not easily get sick.
Fourth, do not totally enclose the chicken without providing them proper
ventilation. The coop抯 windows should face right so as to scoop out cold air
during warm weather and to keep away cold breeze during cold weather.
Last, do not forget to install protection around the coop. You should keep predators out. It is of no use if other chicken-preying predators will be the ones to benefit from your chickens. Make sure that aside from providing the coop itself with durable walls, there should also be barb wires which will be buried 12 inches into the ground to ensure that they will not be lifted off easily, and 4 feet high above the ground just enough to keep predators away.
