Chicken Coops and Runs – Some ideas
If you have a look at one of the films of Mel Gibson where he turns his birds from ordinary ones to major egg-laying ones, then you would probably realize how essential and important chicken houses and runs are for your birds. We would, in this article, try to have a look at some of the key facts relating to chicken houses and runs.
It does not matter how many birds you have in your house. It could be just a couple or in the multiples of ten. The fact of the matter is that the birds need protection and shelter like all of us do. Just chicken houses are not good enough and you would require runs as well as it brings down the chances of your bird running away or getting lost.
When you are building these bird shelters, there is lot of space required. The amount of space though would be directly proportional to the number of birds that you have and might like to have in the future. Apart from the space for your bird shelter, neighbours also play an important role in you successfully having chicken houses and runs for a longer period of time. You do not want neighbours who get easily upset by the presence of birds in their locality as such people might put pressure on you to get rid of your bird homes.
These areas for your birds give them that extra space which not only provides shelter but also fosters a healthy environment. There are lots of varieties available as far as the designs of these structures are concerned. The designs are formulated keeping the comfort levels of your birds as well as the looks and aesthetic value of the structures. Some of the most popular designs are Penbury, three-sided ones, Lucky, Bedgebury, Forsham, Cozy Chook, Lenham, etc.
All these different designs are unique in their own way as far as their features are concerned. The Penbury design can not only be used for your birds but they could also be used for other animals like rabbits, chicks, etc. If you have any such future plans of raising these animals then you can consider this design. The three-sided ones offer a lot of safety to your birds. Similarly; space, fresh air, etc. are some of the other features that most of the chicken houses and runs have on offer.
