I can still remember the first time my wife walked into the living room one morning and announced:
“Honey, we should get some chickens and build a chicken coop.”
A few months passed without either of us doing much about it until we decided to start researching how to actually build a chicken coop. We went to the library and came up pretty much empty-handed. The next logical step was to go online to see what we could find. We found a few free downloadable “build a chicken coop” plans but found them to be either too lacking in information or assuming a certain level of expertise which neither of us had.
We eventually came across How To Build A Chicken Coop and were immediately impressed with the look of the site. Compared with a lot of the other amateurish looking products out there, this one looked pro right off the bat. The question remained, was the product as slick as the site would have us believe?

How To Build A Chicken Coop is a well-produced, informative eBook covering the basics and advanced techniques required to start keeping your own chickens. I don’t think it’s ideal for someone without any DIY experience at all however as it assumes a certain level of proficiency with a hammer and nails. If this is you, I would stay away until you’ve either learned a few basics or enlist the help of a friend to help you build a chicken coop.
Having done so much research into building a chicken coop before purchasing this eBook, I had a certain expectation of what I’d find “between the covers” when I downloaded it. Where most of the other ones I’d seen were essentially Word documents, it was refreshing to see a well-designed, visually appealing product. The diagrams were absolutely top-notch and the writing was succinct and easy to follow.
The range of topics covered in the book includes:
- The Basics on selecting your materials
- Detailed Step-by-Step instructions
- The 9 chores you MUST perform to keep a healthy chicken coop
- How to build it with cheap materials
- Where to position your chicken coop
- Specifics about different flooring techniques
There are quite a few free ebooks on the internet that cover how to build a chicken coop. They range from the frustratingly short 1 pagers to the unnecessarily verbose tomes that look like the blueprints for a skyscraper. The old adage of “you get what you pay for” certainly applies here as I never found any of them to good enough to motivate me to actually go to Home Depot and start buying 2×4s.
If you’re at all like me and like to get a job done right the first time, How To Build A Chicken Coop will ensure that you end up with a chicken coop you can be proud of. More importantly, you’ll have a bunch of happy, healthy chickens and a wonderful addition to your life. Highly recommended.
