Cartable Poultry Houses - The Pros And Cons Of Constructing A Car-table Chicken House

By Danial Mayer


Let's kick off with what your portable chicken coop really is. Well, this is basically a chicken coop which can be moved to different places. You can move your chicken coop around to a shady area on days when it is really hot and vice versa.

Let's start with the positives first. This coop is a lot cheaper to get. You can get it for about 100 bucks. If you build one, you can spend less than this! So if you are feeling the pinch of the industrial crunch, this coop is the answer to your requests.

The subsequent advantage is that, a portable chicken coop is quite easy to maintain. Since these coops are portable, you chickens will soil a certain patch of grass and after they are done you can move your coop to another patch. This way the crap act as fertilizers for your soil and you do not even have to stress about cleaning up your coop.

These coops will also give you extremely quick access to your eggs that your chickens lay. Now an additional advantage is that your chickens consume your pests which are there in the grass. So you do not have to spend dollars and dollars on pesticides, you have your own pest controller available.

Now together with these there are a few negative points. The first is that, the quantity of chickens you can keep here are limited. You'll be able to keep a maximum of around four chickens. So if you have more you are going to have to buy another movable chicken coop and that will take you back with your budget.

Now these coops also do not have proper ceramic flooring. So they become a prey for hungry predators. Therefore your cartable coop isn't as safe for your chickens as the particular, traditional coops are. So you may just lose a few chickens in the act of saving money with this coop.

The security of your chickens should be the first thing bothering you. So these cartable chicken coops don't provide much security for your chickens. So you need to keep these advantages and disadvantages in your mind before you actually think about going in for a conveyable coop.
