Free Range Chicken Coops

Your chickens can become healthier and happier if you give them time to roam around outside during daytime and only 'lock them up' when dark sets in. Chicken owners who wish to raise or care for chickens this way actually need unique coops, popularly known as free range chicken coops meant for free-range fowls. The following are the common facts and information found in the above mentioned type of chicken coop plans.

Using free-range or liberated designs has a number of benefits. Firstly, the chickens are able to eat healthier foods, specifically natural foods e.g. live insects or creepy crawlies that bring about better health.

Once your chickens produce eggs, this can also mean more delicious as well as more nutritious eggs because of the fact that your fowls are able to eat natural diet more often. Exposure to a good amount of fresh air and sunshine is also healthy for the chickens, which is another benefit given by free range chicken coops.

People who aim to make chickens their pets are also recommended to follow free-range plans as allowing chickens to become more 'liberated' can result to better personalities in them, definitely must haves in pets.

These types of coop designs usually require easy-to-find materials like wood, chicken wire, or other light weight yet durable materials e.g. aluminum. Some owners even use plastic as the main material for the coops such as in Eglu style coops. If you want a wooden chicken coop for your hens, of course, you should look for wooden building blueprints. If it's aluminium or plastic that you want, be sure to download a guide that focuses on free range chicken coops made from those materials (either plastic or aluminium). Wood, of course, is usually the cheapest and the easiest to get a hold of.

You should not forget to include fencing in your plans. The stronger the predators and the more in number, the higher the fencing that you should construct for the coop. It is also a good idea to place a net or a kind of roof made of wires to prevent huge birds and other predators from being able to jump into the area where your chickens are happily roaming, feeding, and the like. Good chicken coop blueprints are those that include information about fence building, the length or height of the fences in relation to building a chicken coop.

The common free range chicken coops are the ark and the larger sized hen houses that have shutters so the hens can still go outside, specifically to outer pens where they can enjoy sunshine, fresh air, and 'fresh foods' e.g. worms and insects. See to it that your hens are only capable of strutting around, roaming, playing, and so forth during the day; they should be completely cooped up and secure in their homes during the night as that is usually the time when predators try to attack.
