Review by Karen M. for Building Chicken Coops For Dummies (For Dummies (Math & Science))

Unfortunately I was disappointed with this Dummies book. It focused too much on building techiniques and terminology when I was actually hoping it would have more plans than it does. This seems more geared for people who have little or no experience with DIY projects.

I was hoping for some new ideas but this book has much that could be found on the web or in other books. If you don’t have a clue how to build a coop this book will help. The book spends a lot of time on general building technique that could be found in any basic construction book.
There are unique thoughts such as common mistakes or what people don’t often consider. Again If you have worked with chickens and made coops before you probably already learned these through trial and error.
Over all a good book for the beginner or “Dummy”.

Review by Michael A. Morrisey for Building Chicken Coops For Dummies (For Dummies (Math & Science))

I found this book to cover all the basics, not only what your chickens require; but, also what you’ll need to build a basic coop. It covers the basic carpentry skills and tools needed to build 5 coops; from the Minimal to the Walk-In; suitable for small flocks. Not only that, it also explains the why’s for each aspect of construction and use of tools.
As for your chickens, if you follow the suggestions in the book, you’ll have a happy flock. Roosts, nest boxes, ramps, lighting, ventilation are all covered in detail; as well as suitable materials for each.
The plans given are very basic, so if your looking for a coop with a bit more style such as Victorian or Country Cottage you won’t find it here. However, with the information in this book, you can easily use a shed or playhouse plan and using the information in the this book, adapt the plan for chickens.
Overall it’s a good baisc book with a lot of information for the backyard coop builder.
