Instructions

• Step 1: Check the size Select a coop large enough for your chickens.
• Step 2: Check ventilation Choose a coop that will keep the chickens dry, and that provides adequate amounts of light and ventilation.
• Step 3: Check for a run Choose a coop with an outside run for the birds. The run should be connected to the coop by an entrance hole.
• TIP: If there are potential predators nearby, select a fenced or fully enclosed coop.
• Step 4: Check the door Make sure the door of the coop opens inwards and is large enough to allow you to get inside to clean the coop.
• Step 5: Check for a feeder Select a coop with a built-in feeder system and water container -- unless you plan to design your own. Now you're ready to play Farmville for real.
• FACT: Chicken eggs contain protein, vitamin A, riboflavin, and other vitamins and minerals.
