Adequate accessibility, security, appearance and design suitability are important aspects of the chicken coop for your flock. Before you begin building a chicken coop system, you need to consider how you will access and maintain your chicken coop. You should choose a design that provides easy access to the nest, perch, feeders, and water. Proper access will make cleaning all parts of the chicken coop easier. Before designing, building, and maintaining a chicken coop, take steps to prevent possible injuries to you or your birds. You should remove any loose or splintered wires, nails, or sharp objects from the coop. You should ensure that birds can only perch on perches that you provide. For example, you need to remove access to other parking areas. window sills, nest box tops or electrical wires if applicable.
If your neighbors can see the chicken coop, make sure it doesn't detract from the general appearance of the surroundings. You can improve the appearance of your chicken coop by properly painting and maintaining the exterior. Removing weeds and trash around the chicken coop not only improves the appearance but also helps control rodents. Landscaping can protect your chicken coop from neighbors and help reduce the sounds your chickens make.
Before building a poultry cage system, the following should be noted:
• The chicken coop must protect the chickens from unfavorable climatic conditions.
• Its operation must be simple and economical.
• You can follow a scientific diet in a controlled manner.
• Provide suitable microclimatic conditions near the birds.
• Effective disease prevention measures are needed.
• You can perform full monitoring. Before choosing a location for the chicken coop system:
• Chicken coops should not be near residential and industrial areas.
• There should be adequate access to road facilities.
• Basic amenities such as water, feed, transportation of chicks and electricity are required.
• You can find farm workers with relatively lower wages anywhere.
• Should be placed in a high place and not flooded.
• It must be properly ventilated and must be placed in an open space.
Before preparing the layout:
• The development must not allow foreign tourists or vehicles to access the birds.
• The barn must be ideally located so that fresh air passes through the brooding barn first, then to the rearing and farrowing barn. This will prevent the spread of disease from the chicken coop to the farmer.
• There should be a minimum distance of 50 to 100 feet between the chick coop and the hen house and at least 100 feet between the chicks and the laying hens.
• Egg storage rooms, working rooms and food storage rooms should be located near the entrance to avoid the movement of people around the poultry house.

• Sewage pits and disease prevention should only be built at the far end of the area.
For chicken coops, another important factor to consider is the chicken coop system and fencing options. The poultry farming system determines about 40% of the success and profitability of your poultry farming business. A good poultry housing system is vital to the success of your poultry farming.
The following poultry housing systems are commonly used in poultry farming:
• Expandable housing system: foldable storage and equipment storage
• Semi-intensive barn system: standard semi-intensive barn and straw yard
• Intensive housing system:
1. Deep bedding
2. Mesh and slate floor
3. Straw barn
4. Battery cage
A. Free-range poultry farming system:
In free-range poultry farming system, birds move on their own to search for food. This poultry housing system cannot be used for commercial poultry farming due to its high level of risk.
B. Deep litter system:
This system involves spreading wood chips or sawdust on the concrete floor, placing the chickens on the floor and the dust to “cushion” them. Dust is changed regularly by removal and replacement or by layering. This system is used by many poultry farmers because it increases efficiency and makes it easier to manage large flocks, but it also facilitates the spread of disease in the event of an outbreak and also causes It is difficult to catch unproductive poultry.
C. Battery cage system:
For battery cage system, metal cages are made inside the building to house the birds. Cages are often divided into different compartments to accommodate small groups of birds. The cages also have basins for food, water and egg-laying nests. Bird droppings fall to the floor and are cleaned with a scraper. This method is considered the most effective for raising laying hens, but its main disadvantage is that it is more expensive to build and maintain than other types of poultry housing systems.
Intensive housing systems are the best housing if you are running a poultry farm for commercial purposes and intend to take full advantage of the business benefits of high productivity and efficiency of your poultry flock. Therefore, you should consider an intensive housing system.
Please note that all three housing systems have their own advantages and disadvantages. You will need to consider your requirements accordingly.
