or chickens already laying eggs. This is because accessories for living vary from baby chickens to adult chickens. At the same time, you can able to build your own chicken coops or can buy a pre-built one. In this case, pre-build chicken shelters are divided into 2 categories based on the age of the chickens.
Shelter for less or 2 months old chickens:
When it comes to the newborn baby chickens, it takes only less space to live but needs more space to run and get fresh air. In this case, you need to buy a big sized shelter that is big in length, but not in height.
Shelter for teenage or older chickens:

hens.

Roof:
During the summer or rainy season, your chickens highly suffer from over sunlight or rain. So, it is very important to buy a roof to cover the shelter on the top.

When you buy chicken coops, you will also get nesting boxes, because nesting boxes are very crucial for laying eggs and protects to born new baby chickens.
Mobile coops:
There are so many coops available in these days market such as stationary coops, mobile coops and like more. But, compared with all other types, it is best to buy a mobile coop, because it allows moving from one place to another based on the weather condition. For example, you can keep the coop under trees during the summer season.
