Build Your Own Chicken Coop
Hatching Hope Chicken Coop in Cambodia
Building a chicken coop will help decrease flock mortality by promoting biosecurity and protecting birds from potential predators. Establishing a chicken coop can also increase production by supporting improved feeding, breeding, and other flock management practices. This video provides an overview of how to construct a chicken coop for small to medium scale native chicken producers with a target flock of 100 to 150 birds per cycle. The resources used in this video are available in tropical climates like Cambodia, but the instructions can be applied using alternative materials in other areas. Please note, this model is not recommended for those who plan to raise commercial breeds of poultry.
Through Hatching Hope, the nutritional and economic benefits of chickens will be evident on a global scale, but you can help us expand this positive impact into your local communities as well. With this step-by-step guide you, your family, friends and community can come together to build a chicken coop. All the instructions you need for a 32 square foot chicken coop, which can house up to 12 chickens, are a click away. Once built, start your own flock or donate the coop to a local, school, church or community group.
