If you’re concerned about appearances or just eager for a cheap and easy solution a plastic chicken coop might be the right choice for you.
On the one hand you can buy a small plastic coop a few hundred dollars.It will protect your chickens from predators and your neighbors won’t complain that it looks like something you picked up at the city dump.It’s also very easy to attach a run to these coops so that the chickens can be protected outside.
If you simply want to avoid the expense of buying a coop it’s quite easy to take a plastic doghouse and turn it into a coop.You must make certain to add ventilation so that the chickens get plenty of air and then put in a couple of boxes.So long as you’ve only got a couple of chickens a doghouse is adequate. You must also give them plenty of outside space. Another option for conversions is a disused plastic playhouse.Anything large enough for kids has plenty of room for chickens.In most cases this will require very little effort to make your chickens feel right at home. This is lovely for them to roost at night and then they can scratch around in the garden in the day.
