Deciding on coop plans for backyard hens

Deciding on coop plans for backyard hens

There are many different coop designs available online. How can you judge which is right for your backyard? Things you need to think about include protecting your backyard flock from chickens; meeting natural behaviors of chickens such as perching and dustbathing; what construction materials are best; how design affects biosecurity for disease prevention; and how to do you protect your flock from predators in your area? These issues will be discussed by Alicia Halbritter from the University of Florida Extension Service.
