Comments on: Build a Chicken Coop - What Plans Should You Buy? http://buildachickencoop.org/build-a-chicken-coop-what-plans-should-you-buy/ Guide on How to Build a Chicken Coop Fri, 30 Jul 2010 05:37:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Stephen http://buildachickencoop.org/build-a-chicken-coop-what-plans-should-you-buy/comment-page-1/#comment-8 Stephen Wed, 20 May 2009 12:06:18 +0000 http://buildachickencoop.org/?p=7#comment-8 I'm midway in building my first chicken coop, and I found your tips very helpful. I just have one question: why do you suggest having the doors open inward? It seems to me the coop would be easier to clean if the doors opened outwards. Also, the likelihood of material buildup, or chickens, getting in front of the door might block it from opening when I want to go in...? Please explain. I'm a city kid, and haven't had chickens before. I’m midway in building my first chicken coop, and I found your tips very helpful.

Glad you liked the book! About your question - if you haven't gotten to that part yet - I actually just used wire mesh for vent holes and thin plexi for my windows. Very cheap and works well. Let me know how it works out! Wade Hey jake!

I'm really grateful you made this blog. I bought the manual and it really opened my eyes about what I was doing wrong. Anyone who is unsure about building their coop should really heed Wade's advice. He knows his stuff. Misty, Caldwell ID Hey Wade!
