Great tutorial on chicken raising. Love the tips and suggestions. Using your experience and rationale, plus viewers comments makes this video more credible. I have lived in less desirable accommodations.

Your are too kind, very attentive comments! We appreciate your loyal feedback and viewership!
Great to the point video of some great food for thought raising chickens
Glad you enjoyed it
We are preparing to set up our own chicken coop. Thank you for all of the great tips!!
You’re welcome!! Thank you for watching!
Really good video on chicken coops except for the heat lamps. The heat lamps are a serious fire hazard because in a few seconds they can combust the dust that settles on them and burn down your coop and house. A radiant heat plate is so much safer.
We have never had a problem over 4 years using a heat-lamp on a timer. I agree with you that a radiant heat plate would be safer. We appreciate you watching and for your great engaging comment. Please like and subscribe as we are trying to grow our channel.
Great video and vey informative. Grat tips from viewers.👌
Thanks so much for watching, and for your encouraging comments.
I really like your scraping rake!
I think I bought that at home depot. Please like and subscribe if you enjoy our content as we are trying to grow our channel👍😁
I suspect that the plastic is going to sweat with humidity. Good chance you will end up with mold. Better to just paint it with epoxy.
We don't have enough relative humidity typically where we live, so far so good. Thanks for your comment and for watching, please subscribe to our channel if you enjoy our content.
How cold do your winters get? I'm just building mine and deciding how much I need to insulate it. Obviously going to go with a plate or lamp like you have. I've been told they can keep a space warm just by themselves as well, but it hit -35 for a couple weeks here in Alberta and I doubt they can maintain heat just by themselves in that. Especially when I only am going to have 6 in the coop. Thanks!
That’s a great great question. Our winners get down into the teams are 0°F very infrequently we’re normally in the 20s in the winter but our heat lamp works great with the automatic door as well. It seals them in and keeps them pretty warm. we also have cold resistant chicken breeds That helps as well. Thanks for your question for watching our content please like and subscribe.
Great video! Thank you! Do you think, linoleum in a bathtub design on the floor with the plastic on the walls overlapping it, that it would be a good idea?
Thanks @BWC ok! Yes, I do. I did overlap the bottom plate 2x4 on the backwall floor with the plastic as well to catch all the droppings on that horizontal surface. I think that will make clean up so much easier. As always thanks for your participation with us on our channel/
Great info, thanks for sharing. I may consider this coop or my husband may build one using a coop plan. My question is, is there room on the notches, (where the roost bars sit) for the roost bars to be positioned on the flat side? After all the research I’ve been doing, having the chickens roost on the smaller side can hurt their feet.
Thanks for watching, You could rotate them I guess. Is that what you are asking?
@@LifeintheNorth40, Yes, Thank You So Much! I really like the structure & sturdiness of the coop, but I wasn’t sure if we could adjust the roost bars to accommodate our girls better.
