Building a Custom Chicken Coop (for my blind hen) DIY HOW TO
Join me on a journey of compassion and creativity as I construct a special chicken coop for my beloved feathered friend, Sarah Connor. Despite being blind, Sarah has captured our hearts with her resilience and spirit, and it's time she had a coop tailored just for her unique needs.
Not only is this project about building a functional coop, but it's also a testament to the bond we share with our animal companions.

    I bet this is a very heavy chicken coop but it is very esthetically pleasing . You put a lot of lumber into the build. Like you said you may have over engineered this project. I also bet you figured out you don’t need actual locks on the openings. A clip that requires an opposed thumb will defeat raccoons and opossums and be a lot easier for people to use.

    • @KelleyMakes
      @KelleyMakes Місяць тому

      It is very heavy! Haha my husband and his friend had to pick it up to move it into its final spot and it was a lot. If I’m completely honest, the locks are also for people. You’d be surprised the number of people (or kids) who try to open the doors 🤣

    I have done several very similar projects! Our techniques are very similar. I have a comment/question: 1st: I drill the concentric holes in the stock in exactly the same way as you do ; However, I find it very difficult to keep the larger hole and the pre-drilled smaller hole concentric. How do you do that? (Sometimes I cheat and use two 3/4 inch planks and laminate them together.) Ken

    • @KelleyMakes
      @KelleyMakes 2 місяці тому

      Unfortunately there’s no way that I know of to get them perfectly concentric, that’s why I’m pretty sure gunsmiths uses lathes to achieve this, that way it is perfectly concentric. I have a lathe but it’s too small to accommodate a piece as large as a stock AND the long drill bit that you’d need to do it. Maybe you could make a jig though. Greater minds than I would need to engineer that!
