S2 B6 Construction Chicken Coop
By Braden Hagemann, Anaya McCune, Kaiden Morris, Lucas Scott
Introduction
A chicken coop was built by Kaiden Morris, Braden Hagemann, Anaya McCune and Lucas Scott. The dimensions of the chicken coop are 6 feet long, 18 inches tall, and 30 inches wide. The coop holds up to 12 chickens during the spring and early summer. Since it is such a small area, one must be careful of how many chickens are put in there, depending on their purpose. People who want to use the chickens for laying purposes should only put a maximum of 3 full grown chickens in the coop. If one wants to use the chickens for butcher, than the coop is big enough for a maximum of 12 full grown butcher chickens. Several spots chosen where there is water …show more content…
Methods & Materials Research was done online by the construction group to find examples and barrow ideas for the chicken coop. Combing useful ideas from many examples the construction group created an effective and efficient design that satisfies the requirements of the assignment and that chickens need to live. Research was conducted to know how much space was needed for the chickens to comfortably live in. Measuring the width of the doorways was important so the biology class bring the chicken coop through and doorway and other tight spaces without issues. It was important to find electric outlets and water sources in the immediate vicinity outside so that there is easy access to water, and electricity if a heat lamp is needed. Creation in a sketch was important to complete before the building process to put all the ideas together on a piece of paper. The sketch is appendix one as follows. To begin the building process of the chicken coop the construction group gathered the required tools and equipment to start building. They included, PVC pipe, PVC elbows, two 4 ways (appendix 2), and 10 three ways, ½ in x ½ in 19 gauge-galvanized steel
