46 Ideas for Building Your Chicken Coop
We’ve been researching raising chickens in our tiny suburban backyard. We really want a more self-sufficient lifestyle, knowing we can’t fully be there for where we live, but to get as far into it as we possibly can until our situation changes to where we can buy property and life that lifestyle more effectively. I ran across this graphic of helpful hints and thought you might like it, too!

I Really like the idea of Rabbits living with Chickens. This is Awesome!!!
Thanks for all this good information, it is invaluable.
You can also add worms to help compost, the chickens also love them and the extra protein they provide!
Worms and chickens can both live comfortably under rabbit hutches and both produce compost.
Fantastic post – THANK YOU !!
Old rule on chicken coops. They should only have two (2) doors or they have to be called, are you for this, “a Chicken Sedan”.
Whose driving this fowl thing?
I hope they get billed for this.
Only if they really get down on it!
We have rabbits and guinea pigs running around happily inside the chicken coop (no cage) — they all get along great, share food, etc.
Awesome!
