What is the best brand of chicken coop?

The best brand of chicken coop depends on your flock size and needs, but trusted names are those that use solid wood construction, strong wire mesh, and weatherproof roofing. Popular models like the Sussex Chicken House and Kent Chicken Coop are highly rated because they’re durable, easy to clean, and designed with hens’ comfort in mind.

What is the 90/10 rule for feeding chickens?

The 90/10 rule means that 90% of a chicken’s diet should come from a balanced commercial feed, while 10% or less can be treats like fruits, vegetables, or scratch grains. This ensures hens get all the protein, vitamins, and minerals they need for healthy egg production.

Is it cheaper to buy a chicken coop or build one?

Buying a coop is often cheaper in the long run because it’s professionally designed, predator-proof, and easy to assemble. Building a coop can save money if you already have tools and materials, but many DIY builds end up costing more and take a lot of time. For most people, a pre-built option like the Kent Chicken Coop offers the best balance of affordability, durability, and convenience.
