We live in a time where being self-sufficient and self sustainable is a bit more on everyone’s radars and having your own source for affordable eggs is a must!
If you are wanting to start the journey of becoming more self-sufficient, I would suggest getting a chicken coop and chickens--you'll be so thankful for them!
When it comes to getting started with chickens, you’ll want to figure out where your chickens will live first of all.
Even if you are planning on having your chickens free range, you’ll want a safe home for them to roost in each night.
If you are planning on having just a handful of chickens, you can find some pretty cute smaller coops for a relatively low price and not a lot of work!
How many chickens are you planning on having?
Mobile coops allow you to keep your chickens put up, but also gives you the benefits of free range chickens.
Are you wanting a mobile coop?
If so- there are amazing chicken coop plans all over the internet and easy to find!
Are you handy and have the capability of building something?
Maybe an old barn or old play house. We converted our old play house into our first chicken coop!
Do you have access to an area that you could convert into a chicken coop?
