Seems to me that diy woodworking may well include an interest in making chicken coops as woodwork project. My city, like many others, has given the green light to people wanting to raise chickens in their backyards. I will not be among them. I was raised on a farm and I know a bit about chickens. They're noisy, they smell bad, nobody ever called them intelligent creatures and they're neurotic as all get out. I'll be buying my eggs at the store, along with my chicken breasts and chicken parts. That being said, a lot of people have a better attitude towards chickens than I do, and they'll be excited at the possibility of becoming the proud owners of a few cacklers. The thing to remember is that if chickens are not penned up, they will fly into high trees and the neighbor's yard, and the street traffic -- not to mention they will leave their droppings everywhere. This means that chicken coops are going to be worth their weight in gold. I don't think they're readily available yet. I haven't seen any in Walmart, in any case. Therefore, the diy woodworker living in a "chicken friendly city" can look forward to being asked to create chicken coops for other people. You might as well start looking into patterns for wood and woodworking supplies for these projects. There are plans for chicken coops available on the Net if you need one.
