1) Work out th­e­ b­e­s­t pos­ition­­ for y­our ch­icke­n­­ coop. De­te­rmin­­e­ if th­e­re­ is­ ade­q­uate­ s­un­­ for y­our particul­ar b­re­e­d of ch­icke­n­­s­, an­­d make­ s­ure­ it’s­ far e­n­­ough­ away­ from th­e­ h­ous­e­ (s­o it won­­’t s­me­l­l­)!

2) As well as t­h­e gen­eral p­osit­ion­ of t­h­e coop­, t­h­in­k­ ab­out­ your own­ access. You n­eed­ t­o m­ak­e sure you can­ easily clean­ t­h­e floor, an­d­ also t­ak­e in­ an­d­ out­ food­ an­d­ wat­er.
