My three daughters came down from the rabbit cages into an area we call "the glade". It's a patch of grass surrounded by trees which usually stays well shaded during the summer months. That's where we keep the mobile chicken coop when the temperatures get above 90 degrees. "Daddy!" they chimed, "You let the chickens out. Can we chase them back into the coop?"
I can't imagine anything more entertaining than watching your kids run around at full steam... birds running, feathers flying, trying to chase chickens back into a coop. They might as well be trying to herd cats. Eventually the kids did learn how to gently coerce the birds back into their Coop.
I could have told the kids a little later that evening the birds would have gone back into the chicken ark naturally to roost. But what fun would that have been?
But it didn't start that way. I was so friggin frustrated trying to find the right plan to build my chicken coop to have this awesome memory. Heck I even did my searching to buy a coop, or what some of them called a chicken house... (can you believe that? lol)
I was skeptical that a normal person could build one, BUT I Purchased a " Build Your Own Chicken Coop" Guide and Saved $623 compared to the Pre-built one I almost bought.
Here's What I Never Told My Friends...
Yes, I built my own Chicken Coop and saved a lot of money, BUT I had to purchase 4 "Build Your Own Chicken Coop" guides before I found one that actually worked!!
Hi, my name is Steve Austin and I wish I could say all of the guides were useful and simple to follow.... they weren't! But there were 2 guides that stood above the rest (by far).
I Purchased 4 Guides...You Don't have to!...Here's what I learned...
Yes!...You can build a great looking chicken coop easily and save hundreds of dollars compared to buying a pre-built one. We saved $623 compared to the pre-built one that I almost bought.
I was surprised, even for those who are "mechanically challenged" (like me), building your own chicken coop and getting it up and running can be quick and easy. Not only was it a great project for me and my family, but it now provides our family with Free eggs and Free high-quality fertilizer for our garden.
The total costs for materials should be under $200 (depending where you buy your materials)! I checked around and some pre-built coops cost anywhere from several hundred dollars to over $2,000.
There are simple step-by-step guides that walk you through the Entire process quickly. You don't have to be a genius, just able to follow simple directions.
I can tell you with Complete Confidence the following 2 New Guides were the only two I found to be complete and worth the money!
My Pick 
"Building a Chicken Coop"
Out of the 4 Guides that I purchased, "Building a Chicken Coop" is absolutely the best course available. The author Bill Keene gives step by step instructions, pictures, and Images that simplified the whole process (my twelve year old son was always one step ahead of me).

We purchased his guide and were reading the ebook within 5 minutes. Using the "Building a Chicken Coop " check list, we assembled a fully functioning Chicken Coop in just a week.
Their website is a little long and maybe "Too Pretty", but their product is well worth it.

I recently went to their website and their guide was discounted for a limited time. I paid full price (still very worth it), but check it out now before the discount expires. They have a money back guarantee if your not happy.
Also Recommended "Build a Chicken Coop in 3 Days"
Out of all the guides that we tried, "Build a Chicken Coop in as little as 3 days" is the only other one that I would Recommend. The installation looks very simple, but lacks some of the instructional detail the "Building a Chicken Coop" guide has. It kind of leaves you guessing some minor steps. We did not use this guide for our coop, but it looked much better than the other 2 guides that we purchased.

As I mentioned above, I started this process wanting to save money by building my own Chicken Coop. Yes, my pride took over when my friends laughed at my idea, but I was determined to build a chicken coop. I was starting to believe my friends until I found the two above products. The 2 guides mentioned above are by far the best out there. Don't waste your time and money on anything else out there. Although I spent a lot of time weeding out the bad guides, I've enjoyed the process and will continue to review future guides and update my website with the goods ones. My Kids have also enjoy learning about chickens on the all about chickens for kids website.
