A Bit Of Chicken Coop History

The prehistory of chicken keeping appears to be mummified remains of domesticated chickens, found in ancient Egypt, dating to around 2000 B.C.E. The civilization's diet consisted primarily of grain, and they had no idea how to produce meat.

Chicken coops and runs have been used since the late 1800s when chickens first became a popular food source.

An early picture of a chicken pen can be seen in the painting by William Hogarth, Peasants finding a Rotten Apple in Herdman's Pigs (c 1747).

Why Keep Chickens?

Chickens are clean animals. They do not make a mess, eat bugs and other small creatures, poop and pee on plants, and stink people up when they poop.

Chickens are easy to maintain. You don't need a yard service, and they don't talk back to you when they feel like it. Although they make sounds, they are quiet, but chickens don't yell at you or leave the coop.

A boomer is a rectangular-shaped house made of wood that hens live in. A chicken tractor is a mobile chicken coop that people move around while the chickens are free to scratch at their favourite spots in the garden. There are many different kinds of coops for sale, such as pre-made chicken coops and wooden houses, to lay eggs in. A mobile hen house often has wheels attached to it so people can move them around while they protect hawks and other predators.

You know how to build chicken housing if you have never done that before. This kind of chicken house can be made in any shape or size to fit your specific needs, such as when you want them to lay more eggs, or when you want it more spacious for them, or even when it's built for them so that they
