Are you planning to raise a smaller flock and are interested in a fast and easy to maintain coop? Are you concerned about how to protect your chickens from unpredictable weather and from predators but is not interested in building a permanent structure in your yard as of yet? If your answer is yes, then, portable chicken coop is for you.

Having a portable chicken coop can be a special thing for both you and your family. Portable Chicken Coops are very popular and are recommended to first timers in the business of raising chickens. They offer you the chance to try out raising chickens without having a huge obligation. Portable chicken coops offer many benefits.  They can be made quicker, made with light weight materials, and can easily be moved around your backyard.

In building a portable chicken coop one of the things you need to think about is the cost of the coop. Use materials such as wire for your fence and wire cutters, which you may have one already, to keep the cost of your portable chicken coop low. It is also a good move to use a doghouse that is made of plastic to house your chickens. This way it will be easy for you to carry if you choose to move the coop at certain times.

Finally, have a portable chicken coop for not more than 3 chickens. If you want to get more chickens later that is fine, just build another coop to house them because you will need more space than one portable coop can supply. A smaller coop, or ark as they are sometimes called, should be used to house no more than 4 hens at any one time because it will cause overcrowding.

With this idea, you might consider now having your own portable chicken coop.
