With the recession and the trend towards going green, there is an increasing movement toward natural food production and sustainable living. Backyard chicken farms with flocks of 2 to 20 are cropping up in rural areas and even in urban backyards.
If you haven't considered building a chicken coop there are many benefits that can help you make your decision. One major benefit is that naturally produced eggs from your backyard chicken coop have more nutrients and taste better. Building a chicken coop gives you access to fresh eggs on a daily basis. And best of all your eggs are free!
Another reason to build a chicken coop is that the eggs you produce will be the freshest you have ever had. The eggs you collect from your chicken coop will stay fresher for much longer than store bought eggs, because they do not go through a long processing and shipping process. If stored and handled properly, eggs rarely spoil.
Another benefit is that chickens make great pets. They are entertaining low maintenance pets and get along well with other animals you may already have.
Building a chicken coop is also a fun family project. You do not have to be a skilled carpenter and it is easy to find great plans and tips on how to raise your chickens. Just look up the resources on this website for your chicken coop needs.

3 Ways to Save Money Building a Chicken Coop
1. Do It Yourself
Paying someone to build and install even the simplest, smallest coop is going to end up costing you. If you're reasonably handy and find a good set of chicken coop plans online, you'll ultimately save a lot of money on labor.

2. Buy your own materials
Avoid any pre-made chicken coop kits. It is ultimately way more cost efficient to source your own building materials than to pay for someone else to do it. All the materials necessary to build your coop should easily come in around the $200-$400 range depending on the coop size.

3. Buy a quality set of Chicken Coop Plans
The two resources provided on the right hand side are the most popular sites for coop and care information. Both sites provide excellent chicken coop plans. It is possible to download free plans off the internet but I'm a firm believer in "you get what you pay for" and advocate spending a few bucks to get a good set.
