Maybe you've struggled with predators in your rural setting, or perhaps you've tried a DIY chicken coop that just didn't meet your urban space constraints. Starting from the ground up, this article looks at the different types of coops that can be built depending on requirements. Learn about the best chicken coops that provide security, comfort, and easy management for your poultry birds.
Chicken houses are structures built to accommodate chicken where they can roost, nest and rest. Such structures may consist of nesting boxes, perches, and safe runs to enable the chickens to move around freely but keep them safe from predators.
Fixed structures for housing chickens are ideal for people who have large areas of land and do not intend to transport the birds from one place to another. These coops are usually much bigger than the small coops so there is ample space for your hens to roam and lay eggs. They can have multiple nesting boxes which are very important in the process of laying eggs. If well insulated and ventilated, these coops will help shield your flock from harsh weather and birds of prey.
These are also known as chicken tractors and are suitable for small-scale farmers or people with backyards. They enable you to shift your hens to other pastures, a factor that enhances better feeding on the natural grass. These coops are usually smaller and lighter but like the larger coops they also have the nesting boxes so that your hens can lay eggs in comfort. Mobile coops are very useful for keeping the environment clean and minimising the chances of the disease spreading.
For the convenient chicken owner, DIY chicken coops are the way to go because they are versatile. This means that you can have a made and constructed coop depending on your requirements and the available area. Regardless of the type of home you want to build for your hens, it is possible to make a structure that will be both useful and pleasant to look at. DIY coops also enable you to add some extra features such as the nesting boxes or other features that your flock requires.
Ready-made chicken houses are also available in the market and are also effective to some extent. These coops come in different sizes and designs, and are easy to put together with little to no hassle. They usually come with built-in nests and roosting bars to make sure your hens are comfortable. Prefab coops are usually very strong and easy to clean and this makes them ideal for use by poultry farmers.

The size of your flock is an important factor to bear in mind when selecting a coop. Inside the coop, each hen requires about 3-4 square feet of space. For instance when you have 6 hens, it is advisable to have a coop with interior space of not less than 18-24 sq.ft.
The type of coop you will purchase will also depend on your budget. Low-cost designs can be used to start with but make sure that the coops are strong enough to give the hens shelter. It is better to spend a little more to buy a good coop and avoid spending a lot of money on repairs or replacements.
If you intend to transport your hens within your compound, then a rolling chicken house is most appropriate. This mobility assists in maintaining the area clean and ensures that fresh pastures are available for the livestock. It’s most helpful in confined areas or when used in rotational grazing systems where a small area is used at a time.
Self-built chicken coops give you the flexibility to design the house to your preference. For instance, you may need more nesting boxes or particular features that can prevent the foxes from getting into your property. Coop modification can give the most suitable environment for the hens you rear.
This is the best way to find out the different chicken coop designs that will suit your space and your needs best. Regardless of whether you decide on a more classic, contemporary, or even more playful look, choosing the right coop will ensure your hens are protected and happy.

Within the coop there are specific fixtures like the nest boxes, roosting poles or bars, feeders and waterers that meet the chickens’ basic needs, which we shall discuss in detail below.
Chickens are very fond of foraging so any kind of litter for them to forage is always fun. Any fresh litter on the floor of the coop, piles of mulch or leaves, hay bales and so on are good scratching surfaces.
