How it started. The eglu hen house.

I am not sure what I was doing online to run across it. But my interest in keeping chickens in the backyard started when I saw the Eglu chicken coop from Omlet USA. It really got me thinking about the possibility of raising hens and getting eggs in a smallish suburban backyard.

BUT the Eglu costs, $495.00, and my wife would shoot me dead (not really), but she would freak out. So I had to incubate the idea of raising chickens so to speak.

But I ran across some great resources online to build your own chicnen coop

P.S. I named the blog, hen house Blog because most of the Chicken Coop names were taken, and really we want hens, not rosters. In fact, it is illegal to keep rosters in many areas. But I have a friend with a Backyard Chicken Coop and is doing well in an urban area. Urban Chickens.
