Coops, short for chicken coops, are small structures designed to house and protect chickens. They provide a safe environment for chickens to live, lay eggs, and roam. Coops typically include nesting boxes for egg-laying, perches for resting, and secure fencing to keep out predators. In addition to chickens, coops can also be adapted for other poultry, such as ducks or quails. Proper ventilation, cleanliness, and space are essential for the health and well-being of the birds. Many backyard farmers build their own coops to ensure their poultry have a comfortable and secure home.
