Raising chickens can be one of the most rewarding backyard projects, but anyone who's owned chickens knows that it comes with daily tasks and occasional headaches. Whether it's cleaning out the coop, refilling water containers, or ensuring the chickens are fed, keeping chickens can feel like a chore. But what if there were a way to make your chicken-keeping experience nearly self-sufficient, reducing the amount of daily effort you put in while still maintaining a healthy and happy flock? That's where the concept of a self-running chicken coop comes in. This book is designed to show you how to build a system that makes chicken keeping easy and manageable, even if you're busy or new to the process. By leveraging simple, effective strategies and smart designs, you'll be able to create a chicken coop that takes care of many of the day-to-day tasks on its own, giving you more time to enjoy your chickens rather than just working for them.
