What Style of Coop Should I Choose for 100 Chickens?
Are you having some trouble knowing what to look for in a chicken coop?
Here are some things to consider when choosing your style of chicken coop for 100 chickens…
Size– When coop-shopping, it can be difficult to know what to look for. Size is an important factor when selecting a coop. Do you have the space for a big enough coop? Would it be smarter to have the coop and run separate or together? Is the coop going to be big enough to give each chicken at least 3 square feet of space?
Security – Sometimes building your own coop, or opting for a cheaper coop at least can compromise the security of your coop, and put your chickens’ safety at risk. How predator-proof is your coop? Are you using flimsy chicken wire for the fencing, or are the windows too easy for a raccoon to break into? If you live in an area that may be prone to certain types of chicken predators, like foxes, snakes, hawks, or even bears, it is very important that you find a chicken coop for 100 chickens with these things in consideration.
Climate – One more important thing to keep in mind is climate. If you live in an area where summers are exceptionally hot or winters can grow very frigid, then consider taking extra measures to climate control your coop. What features of your coop will keep your chickens cool? Is your coop in the shade? Would it be wise to consider getting your coop insulated or with heated roosts in the winter?
