Another factor to take in to account regarding your chicken coop is whether you want it portable or fixed.
Both options have their own advantages and disadvantages and you are the best judge of what works for you.
Some of the advantages of a portable chicken coop are:
- Well, portability
- You can keep your chickens as pets
- Easy maintenance – simply move it where you can easily clean it
With a portable chicken coop, however, you’ll have to generally compromise on sturdiness and size. For easy portability, the chicken house will have to be light in weight so it won’t be so sturdy. Larger size will also restrict portability so a portable chicken coop will need to be on the smaller size.
As opposed to this, a fixed chicken coop will afford you the advantages of sturdiness and larger size if you can live without its portability.
It’s now your call on which way to go: a portable chicken coop or a fixed one.
