Arrange the chicken coop is best on the hill.A door do on the east side, and on the south window.Why in the south?The fact is that heating the greenhouse is very important for birds, and of course it affects her egg production.Location of windows on the south side of the winter will contribute to more rapid heating of the chicken coop, and in the summer is necessary to make special shutters on the windows, becausehen the temperature rises above 25 degrees Celsius starts to feel worse and practically ceases to carry an egg.
