The ‘cheap’ Chicken or Duck house costs about €25 to build, yet they are the most sturdy, well insulated houses I have! Normally my advice to people looking to buy a chicken house is not to buy too cheap since they will end up either having the fox get in to it, or after a few years will be buying again but building this chicken or duck house, if you pardon the pun, goes against the grain. You must be thinking by now that this all seems too good to be true, but there is one key ingredient to this house that keeps the cost down, and that is, the frame underneath it which is a surplus wooden packing crate.
