Why buy a chicken coop?
- Safety and Protection: A chicken coop provides a safe and secure environment for your chickens. It protects them from predators, harsh weather conditions, and diseases.

- Pest Control: Chickens eat insects and pests. By keeping chickens in your yard, you can naturally control pests.
