In-Depth Information
When planning your poultry venture, spend a solid block of time thinking about
housing, and do so long before you take steps to buy your birds. Determine how many
birds you want, decide which varieties you plan to raise, and outline your hopes for
winter production. If you're new to an area, check online or with the local National
Weather Service office to learn more about the local climate, prevailing wind direction,
and rainfall trends (see Resources for contact information). A little knowledge about
your natural surroundings will add to the success of your operation.
It's best to complete the building before you even think of purchasing your flock.
Items like nests and feeders can be acquired after the fact, but letting the building sit
empty for a while is far better than dealing with the stress of having birds with no place
to go.
