Review Of How To Build A Chicken Coop

Posted on 24 August 2009 by Travis

This is what every product in the world should be like…straight forward, no nonsense, to the point and useful. I know some folks would think, “Why would you want to build a chicken coop yourself?” Well, if they knew how expensive these things were to buy, they wouldn’t be asking the question. And besides, it really isn’t hard if you have a good tutorial. And that’s where “How To Build A Chicken Coop” comes in.

Okay, let me just get to the best part of this book because it is so critical. Inside, you will find cross sectional diagrams of the whole process. In other words, you don’t just get one of those horrible instructional kits with your typical “insert post A into slot C” mumbo jumbo. This book is so well illustrated, that even somebody who has NEVER picked up a hammer and saw in their lives can put one of these things together. These diagrams alone are worth the price of the book. But there’s more, lot’s more.

The tips inside will allow you to build a chicken coop for pennies on the dollar for what it would cost to buy one ready made. And you won’t be scrimping on materials. The author shows you what to get so that you’ll be building the absolute best chicken coop for your needs and it still won’t cost you an arm and a leg.

But the book is more than just about building a chicken coop. There are some incredible tips inside such as the 9 daily, monthly and yearly chores that you must do in order to keep your chickens healthy, happy and laying eggs all year round.

There are also a ton of great bonus books that come with this, such as one on how to build nesting boxes for free. Yes, free. There’s another book on how to best position your chicken coop and how to get the best materials.

Look, I can go on talking about this really useful (about time too) book on this subject. But why not just go to the man’s site (his name is Bill Keene) and see for yourself.

“Building A Chicken Coop” Review

Posted on 18 July 2009 by Travis

I decided to do a book review of what I believe is the best book around on how to build a chicken coop and chicken coop plans.

Given the fact I build chicken coops and have done so now for almost 20 years and given the fact I have been keeping and breeding chickens for the same amount of time I guess I do know a thing or two about chicken coops.

I have purchased almost all downloadable books on chicken coops on the internet and I have found no book yet that comes close to “Building A Chicken Coop”. It is by far the most comprehensive book on chicken coops and also covers chicken keeping and housing as well.

Building A Chicken Coop

OVERALL

The book was authored by Bill Keene and provides step by step instructions on how to build your coop, how to maintain and care for chickens. Bill also knows a thing or two about chickens as he is an experienced poultry farmer.

Bill shares all his knowledge on how to build an affordable coop that is attractive, safe, feasible which provides all the essentials for raising healthy, happy chickens. Bill gives you all the tips you will need to make sure you don’t run into any of the usual problems people encounter when building a chicken coop.

Let me tell you most people I speak to who come up with the idea that they would love to raise chickens and then set out to build themselves a chicken coop without any knowledge, plan or information end up with problems on their hands.

I have heard horrid stories and I mean ones that would make you cry all because their was no planning stage and very little research before the chicken coop was build and the chickens came along.

What you will learn in Bills book will give you all the knowledge you need so you can avoid all the pitfalls there is when you set about getting a coop and chickens.

I have been building coops for people now for years and all of them are built following Bills guide. That is why people come to me to build their coops.

Building a chicken coop is a step by step guide for young, old or even complete novices. Bill gives you lots of tips that will save you time and money. And I want forget to add Bill also includes lots of bonuses which you are bound to love.

If you follow everything in the book you will end up with an attractive, affordable, chicken coop that is well designed, provides a safe haven for your chickens, will last many years to come and provides all the essentials needed to keep you chickens healthy and happy.
