      The plans are way too vague, in step one it says to screw the flooring to "the wooden frame".. what wooden frame? It's step one we haven't built a single thing other than cut out this flooring piece!? Kept reading and it stayed just as vague unfortunately.

    Author’s Foreword

    When health is absent, wisdom cannot reveal itself, art cannot manifest, strength cannot fight, wealth becomes useless and intelligence cannot be applied. – Herophilus

    100% free range, this is the label on the eggs that I was about to purchase on my recent trip to the market. All natural is becoming the rage these days on the healthy lifestyle trend. The problem is, despite my best efforts of choosing these ingredients, they are either more expensive than their mass-produced counterparts or I end up being suspicious if they are really free range. I end up buying these more expensive eggs and at the back of my mind; I think if they are the real deal.

    I have watched several documentaries and read several articles on the Internet on how large-scale poultry farms are becoming more and more hazardous to our health. Several years ago, there were outbreaks of different kinds of epidemics that are related to birds, those stories made me even more worried. A recent trip to my relatives in the country gave me the answer I needed.

    In their backyard are several chicken coops. They had more than 20 chickens in their care. Every morning I see my aunt carrying a basket and when she got back, she was carrying more than a dozen eggs. I was completely amazed and excited about the prospect of having my own ingredients sourced from my own home.

    This is how my journey towards self-sufficiency began and I want to share with you the mistakes I made and the lessons I learned along the way. Let me say that it will not be a walk in the park. Planning to build a coop is one thing but actually building it is another. Planning to take care of a few hens is one thing and actually having to do it on a daily basis is another.

    At the same time, let me say also that when you collect your first egg, it will be all so worth it. When collecting eggs early in the morning becomes part of your daily habit and you enjoy the freshest ingredients at your breakfast table, then every sweat and effort you put towards the chicken coop will be forgotten.
