When it comes to creating a safe haven for your chickens, it can feel the list of supplies can be never-ending. From creating the perfect DIY chicken coop (or ordering one online!) to making sure you got all the perfect toys for your roost, you can end up shopping at a lot of places. To help you avoid a multi-store shopping haul for your hen house, you can actually do it all in one, thanks to these must-have chicken coop accessories from Amazon.
If you're unsure where you should begin when creating the perfect home for your flock, don't be! Our Country Living panel of chicken experts recommends these six key elements are needed for a safe and happy henhouse: a nesting box, box bedding, roosting bar, dropping board, hanging feeder and waterer, and an enclosed run. While not necessary, we also suggest adding one or two things for them to play within the coop. A lack of stimulation can often lead to physical and behavioral issues for these birds, such as bullying, obesity, and feather pulling.
