Buying a chicken coop - buying advice from Sanilu
If you're looking for the perfect chicken coop, there are some important criteria to consider to ensure you choose a suitable and safe home for your feathered friends. Here you will find detailed buying advice to help you find the ideal chicken coop.
Size: The size of the chicken coop is a decisive factor. Take into account the number of chickens you want to keep. As a rule of thumb, each chicken needs at least 0.5 square meters of space in the coop. Make sure you provide enough space to avoid overcrowding and stress among the chickens.
Material: Chicken coops are available in various materials, including wood, metal and plastic. Wooden coops are classic and provide good insulation, but require regular maintenance and protection from the elements. Metal hutches are durable and easy to clean, but can get very hot in summer. Plastic coops are easy to clean and weather-resistant, but often offer less insulation.
Equipment: A well-equipped chicken coop should have sufficient perches, nesting boxes and a safe run area. Check that the coop is easy to clean and has good ventilation to prevent damp and ammonia build-up.
Safety aspects: The safety of your chickens should be a top priority. Choose a chicken coop that is safe from predators and has sturdy locks and latches. Make sure there are no sharp edges or points where the chickens could injure themselves.
Location: The location of the chicken coop also plays an important role. Place the coop in a dry, sheltered area to protect the chickens from the weather and moisture.

Chicken coop - frequently asked questions
When buying a chicken coop and keeping chickens, questions come up time and again. Here we answer some of the most frequently asked questions to help you make a decision.
Is a free-range enclosure necessary for my chickens? ▼
Yes, a safe free-range enclosure is very important for keeping chickens in a species-appropriate way. It allows the animals exercise, fresh air and natural behavior such as scratching and pecking. Make sure that the enclosure is large enough and provides reliable protection from predators. Suitable run enclosures can be ideally combined with the chicken coop.
How do I protect my chicken coop from predators? ▼
A secure chicken coop has sturdy locks, high-quality materials and no open weak points. Fox-proof fencing, a protected run and a solid base are also important. In rural areas in particular, a secure floor area or all-round wire protection is also recommended.
How often do I have to clean a chicken coop? ▼
Regular cleaning is crucial for the health of the chickens. Droppings should be removed daily if possible and the litter should be changed regularly. In addition, a thorough cleaning of the entire coop is recommended every few weeks, especially perches and nesting areas.
If you would like to know in more detail which cleaning intervals have proven effective in practice and what really matters when it comes to coop hygiene, we have prepared a detailed blog post on"Cleaning the chicken coop: How to keep the coop hygienic and clean".
Can I build a chicken coop myself? ▼
In principle, it is possible to build a chicken coop yourself. However, it requires time, craftsmanship and good planning. Ready-made chicken coops have the advantage that they are tailored to the needs of the chickens, tried and tested and ready for immediate use.
Which chicken coop is right for my chickens? ▼
The right chicken coop depends on the number of animals, the space available and the type of housing. The Sem chicken coop with run is particularly popular, with its well thought-out design, high-quality materials and practical details winning over many keepers. It is always important to ensure sufficient space and easy maintenance.
Which material is best for a chicken coop? ▼
Robust wooden coops are often popular because they support a pleasant coop climate - but the workmanship is crucial: weatherproof surfaces, stable screw connections and a roof that really stays tight. Whatever material you choose, smooth, easily accessible interior surfaces make cleaning easier and help to reduce mite and moisture problems.
Do I need a winter-proof chicken coop in Switzerland? ▼
A weatherproof chicken coop is clearly advantageous for year-round housing: dry, draught-free and well ventilated. What is important is not so much "warm like a living room", but a dry interior without condensation. A raised structure, a sheltered location and clean litter are particularly helpful in winter.
Does sanilu.ch offer an assembly service for chicken coops? ▼
Yes, sanilu.ch offers a professional assembly service for many chicken coops by arrangement. This is particularly suitable for larger or more complex models and ensures that the chicken coop is assembled professionally, stably and quickly. Details and conditions can be clarified individually.
