Is your coop ready for chickens? Today Shannon and Amber go over basic (and some less considered) aspects of planning the perfect home for your chickens. There are a lot of ways to house chickens, we’ll share with you some lesser-known ideas you’ve never considered! Whether you want shacks, high-rolling chicken palaces, mobile coops for nomad chickens, or you want to turn something unusual into a coop, this is the episode for you!
But you can’t really talk about the form of your coop without talking about the function; The house isn’t just a place to lock up your birds; its the dining room, the nursery, the hospital, the hotel, and so much more! Make sure you haven’t overlooked any of these important services the coop provides to your flock.
Remember, its much easier to build and design it right the first time.
Maybe temporary housing is your concern? How would you like to be a professional Chicken watcher? Amber lays out all the details of an innovative new business idea; “The Chicken Hotel”. Need a sitter? Maybe they won’t sit on them, but this incubation service might be for you!
Have you ever had a bird with an impacted crop? Do you know what the signs look like? An impacted crop can cause your bird a lot of trouble, or even death! Learn how we noticed subtle signs that one of our chicks had an impacted crop and what we did to get our little lady headed back in the right direction.
