Description

“The chicken coop plans I got from you were great! They were easy to follow
and the coop turned out to be the envy of all of my friends. I love my new
hobby. Thanks so much for giving me every thing you promised.”David Hess, USA
This comprehensive book contains the top ten most popular chicken coop plans
for the author’s website
one of the most popular sites on the Internet for coop design and information
because of its practical, easy-to-follow advice. The author and builder, John
White, has combined his ten most popular chicken coop designs into one book,
and he’s also added practical coop information and explanations about each
feature. More than six thousand chicken farmers have purchased these plans for
two reasons: 1. They’re so simple to build that even a novice woodworker can
build them in a single weekend, and an experienced pro can tell at a glance
what to do next. Most designs require a wood shop full of tools and a lot of
experience with construction. Not these designs! 2. Cost matters to us all.
These designs are not only easy to build; they’re easy on your budget. You can
use wood you have already, or find or purchase all the supplies you’ll need
without spending a fortune. Easy, affordable and professional. It doesn’t get
any better than that. In addition, you’ll also learn: What you need to
consider before selecting and building your coop and why placement of the coop
is so important to your family as well as your chickens. Once you understand
why you’re building the coop a certain way you’ll see why these designs are
perfect for anyone who wants happy, healthy chickens.The basic essentials of

understand why a feature is important you’re more able to determine how
changing, expanding or even eliminating that feature may affect your flock.
