Here are a couple of tips for those that are about to build a chicken coop.

Make sure that;
  • your site drains freely,
  • is on a high point of your property – not in a natural sump hole,
  • that there are gutters and downpipes fixed to all roof lines – yes even the smallest hutch needs proper drainage!
  • that the flow from the downpipes goes away from the hen house and land immediately adjacent,
  • that the rain can’t get into your run, this can be prevented by a sheet of canvas over the netting, some plywood. Even shade cloth can stop a fair amount of moisture getting in!
