THE ART OF THE ARK
The chicken ark is used primarily in situations where birds cannot range freely during the day due to predators, concerned neighbors or city ordinances. Arks provide access to daylight while keeping your chickens close to home and protected.
Chicken arks also allow you to rotate where you graze your flock. You can easily move these small enclosures to fresh grass so birds can enjoy the sunlight and eat bugs to their heart’s content. Arks work well for flocks of less than 12 birds. You can purchase arks from commercial dealers, or you can build your own. If you’re game, try your hand at ark building; their simple construction will make the process fast and easy. Take a look at these arks.
