Great to see you again! Thanks for visiting!
Would you like to be someone who each morning gets up goes into the garden and collects some eggs that your chickens have just laid? If you are and have no idea what it takes to keep chickens then starting with a small flock of 2 to 4 hens is something worth considering. The best option for keeping such a small flock of birds in the garden is to purchase a good quality portable chicken coop.
As you will soon discover there are numerous advantages to be had from getting this type of coop no matter what size garden you have. Below we look at just some of the reasons when first keeping chickens you should be considering buying yourself a portable chicken coop to provide them with a home.
Reason 1 – These types of coops will cause far less damage to the ground in your garden unlike the static types do. This is because you can move the unit around on a regular basis ensuring that the ground underneath won’t be damaged too much by the hens as they peck and claw at it looking for tasty things to eat.
Reason 2 – As these chicken houses are easy to move around the garden if you want to provide further protection for your hens at night from predators you can if you wish move it inside. Therefore if you shed or garage has enough space you can situate the coop in there at night.
Reason 3 – Keeping these coops clean is a lot easier compared to a static chicken coop. Once you have moved the portable chicken coop to a new location now you can spend a few minutes cleaning up the area where it was previously situated.
