Introduction

If you're playing Red Dead Redemption 2 and you've reached Chapter 2, then you'll be able to start your own homestead. One of the things you'll need to do is build a chicken coop so you can keep chickens and gather their eggs. In this article, we'll walk you through step-by-step on how to build the perfect chicken coop in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Step 1: Find the Perfect Location

The first thing you'll need to do is find the perfect location for your chicken coop. You'll want to find a flat area with good drainage to prevent the coop from getting too wet. Look for an area with shade and protection from the wind. You should also consider building the coop close to your home so you can easily collect eggs.

Step 2: Gather Materials

The materials you'll need to build your chicken coop can be found around your homestead or purchased from a general store. You'll need:

  • 10 pieces of wood
  • 20 pieces of wire
  • 4 chicken feeders
  • 4 chicken waters
  • 4 bales of hay

Step 3: Build the Coop

Now it's time to build the chicken coop! Follow these steps:

1. Lay the foundation

Start by laying a foundation of wood on the ground. This will keep the chicken coop off the damp ground and prevent rotting. Use four pieces of wood to create the corners and connect them with the remaining six pieces.

2. Frame the chicken coop

Next, frame the chicken coop by attaching wire to the corners of the foundation. You'll need to create a roof, walls, and a door. Make sure there are no gaps for predators like foxes or raccoons to get in. Use hay to pad the floor of the coop.

3. Add chicken feeders and waters

Hang the chicken feeders and waters inside the coop using wire. Make sure they're securely attached so that chickens can't knock them over.

4. Close the door

Finally, close the door to the chicken coop. You don't want any predators getting in and stealing your chickens or their eggs.

Step 4: Get Chickens

Now that you have a chicken coop, it's time to get some chickens! You can buy chickens from farmers or ranchers. Once you've purchased some chickens, bring them back to your homestead and place them inside the coop. Make sure they have access to food and water, and check on them regularly for any signs of illness.
