Use these cheat sheets as a handy reference guide for some of the important items you may find yourself coming back to often.

Keep some key considerations in mind when you’re looking at a coop for your flock of backyard chickens.
Todd Brock is a television writer and producer whose work includes PBS's Growing a Greener World, DIY Network's Fresh From the Garden, and HGTV's Ground Breakers. He is the coauthor of Building Chicken Coops For Dummies.
