  • Building a chicken coop requires careful attention and precision. Certainly buying a ready-built wood chicken house would be an easier option, but if you want to save a bit of cash, then you’ll have to do all the work yourself. I know it might be a bit hard and sometimes confusing, but I’m here to help you out.

    The best thing to do is decided how many chickens you would like to have in your garden farm. People usually tend to go for about 5 chickens hens, which is frankly good enough. For bigger families, where you would prefer to get more organic eggs, then 8-9 chickens should be sufficient and not too difficult to look after.

    Obviously, depending on the number of chickens, you will have to decide that size of their little chicken pen house. Nothing really to worry about here, because all you want to do is make sure they won’t be overcrowded and have enough space to breath and move about. A rule of thumb is to have 4 square feet for each chicken.

    Shrubs also offer many landscape possibilities. The Christmas berry (Hex verticillata), holds its bright red fruit until January. Unsheared Japanese barberry and the common variety retain their berries all winter. Other fruiting shrubs include the more aristocratic fire-thorn and the somewhat less colorful but more accommodating snowberry.
