Would you like the opportunity to go out into your garden each morning and
collect some fresh eggs that your chickens have laid? If you would but are a
complete novice then beginning with a small flock made up of 2 or 4 hens
should be considered. If you are going to be keeping only a small flock then
buying a portable chicken coop would be your best option.
As you will soon discover there are certain advantages to be gained from
getting such a coop for your garden no matter what size it is. Below we take
a look at some of the reasons why you should consider getting a portable
chicken coop.
Reason 1 - These coops are going to cause far less damage to your garden
than one that is permanently fixed in a location. The reason for this is
that you will be able to move it around to prevent the chickens from tearing
up the garden too much when they search the ground for things to eat.
Reason 2 - Because these are easy to move around the garden at night to
provide more protection for your chickens from predators you can move it
inside. So if you have enough space in a shed or garage you can place the
coop in there at night.
Reason 3 - When it comes to cleaning out the coop you will find it a lot
easier to do than if you chose to install a coop that is in a fixed
location. All you need to do to clean up the area where the coop has been is
to move it to a new location and then several minutes later you will have
cleaned up the area where they were previously.
