The Pet Report

Building chicken coops has become a recent new fad that everyone is doing. Chicken coops are popping up all over the place!  Check around you very own neighborhood, you will be surprised.  Chicken coops are not only for the country dwellers, but also people who live in the city can now have them too!

Everyone can have an easy to care for coop just like Kate Gosselin’s chicken coop.  Surprising the average amount of time you will spend caring for your chickens per day is only 5-10 minutes.  Or that each chicken will probably lay 3-6 eggs per week. You should also understand that chickens can and will lay eggs without a rooster, so no need to worry that you will wake the neighbors at the crack of dawn every morning.  Rooster are only an important part of a chicken coop that hopes to fertilize the eggs.

Time:  A simple chicken coop can be built in a day, some will take the weekend.  But no matter what coop you decide to build schedule in sometime where the entire family can participate in the activity.

As you probably already understand, building a chicken coop is not just for farmers and TV stars, it is a home project meant for everyone, everywhere.  It is an easy to accomplish project, fun for the whole family and a great learning experience for everyone involved.
