How to build a henhouse in the yard

When building a henhouse in the yard, you can choose a shady place as the building area. Because chickens can't be exposed to the sun for long. A cool place is most suitable.

After the chicken coop frame is built, a layer of straw or sawdust can be laid in the chicken coop to provide a warm resting place for the chickens. At the same time, it can also prevent the eggs from being broken when the chickens lay eggs. At the same time, in the activity area, a trough should be installed for chickens to eat by themselves. At the same time, the henhouse should be built above the activity area to provide more space for it.

After the henhouse is completed, all the construction waste in the henhouse should be cleaned up, and whether the barbed wire is installed firmly should be checked to avoid the invasion of natural enemies and affect the growth of chickens. If you want to paint the outside of the henhouse for decoration, you need to wait until the smell of paint disappears before putting the chickens in.
