There are many designs for a backyard chicken coop which vary from elaborate two story chicken houses to smaller areas surrounded by chicken wire. If you are living in a city or small town and the by-laws/regulations allow you to build a backyard chicken coop, there are various plans with easy step-by-step instructions to get you started with your project.
Chickens are very easy to raise with very basic needs like water, food and shelter. Adequate shelter from the elements is extremely important so that both the chickens and eggs are protected from freezing in areas where there is snow and in areas of higher temperatures, they will need more water and adequate ventilation to keep them cooler. Chickens will also need nest space, otherwise known as a roost, where they can lay their eggs. The backyard chicken coop needs to be securely built, well-protected and sturdy so that predators cannot sneak into the chicken coops and yes, there are predators even in city settings that will want a chicken meal.
Before you can build a backyard chicken coop, you need to know what kind of space you will be using and the exact dimensions of the area. You will also need to decide on how many chickens you will be raising because each chicken will need approximately four square feet. Ensure your backyard chicken coop is cleaned regularly as to keep you and your neighbours happy and predators away. The flooring of the chicken coop should not be completely level so the waste and dirt can be cleaned out better. It will be easy to clean and spray down a backyard chicken coop with sloped floors.
In the end, consider the aspects of protection from predators, clean up, infestation, and provision of adequate space before you build your backyard chicken coop. This will ensure you a steady supply of fresh eggs and a healthy happy chicken family and happy neighbours.

Looks like the city of Calgary, Alberta Canada is being challenged to allow residents to keep chickens in their own backyards.
The Canadian Liberated Urban Chicken Klub (CLUCK) which is spearheaded by a fellow named Paul Hughes is challenging the city of Calgary, Alberta to change the by-laws so residents may keep chickens. Click on the link below for more information:

Looks like Mr. Hughes will have his day in court:
