Producers Pride Sentinel Chicken 🐔 Coop (Modified) (#47)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 бер 2021
- We replaced our temporary chicken coop with this Producers Pride Sentinel chicken Coop we have one chicken that gets picked on and she needs to be kept separate from the flock. We Chose this Coop because the quality seems to be a little better than the other ones we had checked out. We modified this one to suit our needs as we have predators and rodents And have to make adjustments accordingly. We hope this video helps anybody doing research into getting a chicken coop for their hens🐔.
Just so people know, we’ve had ours over the MN winter and this spring the whole roof started leaking. I’d add additional roofing as some UA-camrs have shown.
Thanks for the video. My child now knows where chicken are kept
Thank you for taking the time to watch 😎
Thank you for your response
Thank you for the video on this coop. I need to get a small pre-fab coop to use as a brooder or a place to isolate a sick chicken. I have a nice, big, custom built coop, but there is no where to put a brooder in it. Most pre-fab coops are crap, but this one looks a bit more substantial than most. I was thinking of covering it with a tarp when not in use so it doesn't get exposed to the elements so much. I am going to wait a while to purchase one as I want to see if they have any sales later in the year. I can dream.
Those are the same reasons why we chose this coop. Do watch for sales, we were lucky and were at the right place at the right time. I posted a video of the coop that I built not too long ago. It has a few good ideas also. Thanks for taking the time to watch😎 post here and let us know how it works out🤙 keep dreaming... They do come true😉
Good coop got one drilled some holes on side for more air flow
👍
I just bought one of these... the parts did not fit together well. I had to make a lot of adjustments. The door hinges are weak, and you're right about the raccoons. I glued my ridge plate on.
I had the same problem with the nest box door hinge. Also, already the rolled roof coverings are wearing off. Not great quality IMHO, wouldn't buy another, and I'm going to build a real coop soon to my own design.
I'm using it now as an older chick day house. Thanks for the video.
Jeanette,
Thanks for the comment! It seems these days that everything you purchase needs to be modified or upgraded.... There is no quality control and cheap parts are used. We also use this coop as a place for hens that need to be separated. We have a larger coop that I designed and built, hopefully soon I will have time to share a short video on it. We always try to use locally made and fabricated products. This is not always possible so we make due with the lesser of all evils and modify.... More quality products need to be designed and made closer to home! 😎 keep us updated on your progress and any mod ideas you may have.
Just got mine set up. Our 8 week old chicks will go in full time tomorrow since the temps are getting better. What material do you use inside the coop in the run and how often do you rake out or clean the run? I have drilled holes in the doors and added a lockable latch. I hope you’ll keep us updated on any additional mods. Thanks again.
Joseph,
Sounds like you're getting it done! We actually use potting soil for the run. We do this because we have a garden and reuse the soil in the garden. We rake it out and change it depending on the conditions like weather and the amount of time the girls spend outside. Give or take about Once a month we rake the top debris off and break up the dirt below that and add a little more to make up for what we removed. And about every six months we change it out completely. For more ideas check out the video I made on the coop I made called custom chicken coop.

Thanks for your video. I was wondering if you stained the coop.
Hey Linda! Thanks for checking it out. The coop comes pre stained.
I just bought this coop and put it together. My slide tray will not slide in all the way and you mentioned you modified yours, but I don’t quite understand what you did to it. Could you elaborate? Thanks.
The metal mesh and some spot welds were rubbing on the bottom of the tray. I took a file and filed the welds down and used end cutters to nip the ends of the mesh off. Look on the bottom of your tray and you should see scratch marks indicating where yours is rubbing then nip and file until you have better clearance . Hope this helps !
I just paid $440 for the same coop in 2022… inflation is a bitch.
Tru dat! Thanks for watching. At least you'll have plenty of eggs to offset the extra cost of the coop. Keep us posted on how your build goes 😎
@@ocotillooutlaws4101 thanks! I’m going to borrow your idea for the wood and extra chicken wire along the base!
@@rustyshackleford6143 just hooked my neighbor up with the wire for their coop. No more rats!
Thanks for this video! We just built this coop and need to secure it further. Would you say that the mesh underneath the coop is ok on their feet? We thought of this but weren't sure if they would get their nails stuck. We would just have grass under the coop run and maybe some mulch but their daily grazing will be mainly in a separate tractor.
We have composted soil from our garden and yard clippings that is about four inches deep to peck and scratch in. The 1/4 mesh at the bottom also allows insects and bugs to make their way in as a tasty treat while keeping mice and rats out. We let our girls out to free range the yard also. We change the soil every month or so and it goes right back into the garden. (great naturally fertilized soil by the way) We haven't had any issues with with feet as the soil is on top of the mesh. Tractors are a great option too.
@@ocotillooutlaws4101 thank you for this! Makes so much sense and life a bit easier. I was racking my brain on what we should do for bottom in order to fully secure it. Very helpful!
Thanks for the thorough video. How heavy is the coop? If I will put a 2x4 screened base and put 10 inch tires on one end so I can move it around my yard, do you think it will work?
Hey Spike!
That is a good option for being able to relocate based on your girls needs. The design of this coop is meant to be stationary but with some modifications and reinforcement in the right areas it should be movable with wheels on one end and a little help from a friend. Also if you place soil in or on the screened area this may be to much weight and cause the bottom to break out when lifted and moved. You would have to remove all the soil before moving. A guess of about 100 to 120 pounds for the weight. Hope this helps. Thanks for your question!
@@ocotillooutlaws4101 great. Thanks for the tip. Yes I don’t plan to put soil under the coup since I’m moving it around. Your idea of putting a screen underneath is good idea so I won’t accidentally ran over my hens while they’re still able to peck any tall grass. More power to you!
Thanks for the video! I just purchased one of these and should receive it in a few days. I am curious how difficult, or hopefully easy, it is to relocate to a different spot?
This is a small coop and can be relocated fairly easy based on your needs with just a couple of people.
@@ocotillooutlaws4101 That’s exactly what I want to hear... thank you! We plan on moving it around the yard on a monthly basis. Let them dig up and fertilize a patch for herbs and veggies, rinse and repeat. 😎
Hi, thank you for the video. I am thinking about buying one of these used. I don't see any ventilation holes in the pictures, is there ventilation?
No. I had to add some extra ventilation for better airflow. I used 2-1/2 inch round soffit vents that I found at home depot. Depending on your climate you adjust accordingly. Keeping your coop clean is crucial so the droppings don't accumulate and overcome the coop with ammonia fumes. Hope this helps. Post back and share your experiences. Thanks for taking the time to watch😎
Hi! I have the same one and next week we are hoping to move our chickens into it. My concern is the latches, which you mentioned. I don't have a good mind for visualizing handy-man type stuff like this, so can you tell me what you had in mind to fix the latch situation to keep raccoons and such out? A new latch makes sense but because there's two doors, metal, wood, like just the layout of the thing makes it hard for me to figure out what kind of new latch would even fit or work well on this. Any thoughts would be so helpful. Just wanna keep these ladies safe and we get raccoons, foxes, opossums, etc on our property.
Hey Tiffany!
We are still looking for a good modification for the latches. Hopefully soon we will have one and post a video to share. If you come up with a good fix/mod please share it here with everyone!
Great video. This coop may fit our needs but plan to have 3 or 4 hens. I’m hoping this will work for us. What are your thoughts? Also concerned about underneath clean out.
Hey Joseph! Thanks for your comment and taking the time to watch! The clean out is pretty easy we use a dustpan or a small shovel, collect everything and put it in our compost for the garden. Ours sits on dirt also. Still happy with it😀 if you have any questions feel free to ask!
Nice coop want the plan to build ot
Do you feel 4 hens can fit in this coop comfortably???
Thanks for the info
We have two now and will be adding a third soon. They are small hens. Four large breed hens will be tight. Although the coop states it will house five hens, for the girls sake I would not put more than four in this coop. Also take in consideration the area you are located and add more ventilation to promote airflow and removal of ammonia fumes from droppings. The more hens the more frequently the coop should be cleaned. So yes as long as they have added ventilation more frequent coop cleaning and let them out to free range a little if you can. Hope this helps 😀
Another option is to put several L brackets along the bottom of the coop, then over them lay pavers around the perimeter of the coop. That’s what we did. Predators won’t dig under from a foot away.
Another good option to share with the masses! Thanks for your input.
What are l brackets?
@@jewguyel L brackets are a bent piece of metal used for support. Look up an image search for a picture.
Everyone Please add extra ventilation to this roosting area!!!
Any company that sells coops should know this!!! PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH ON THIS. ITS NOT JUST THIS COMPANY. I did research, for some reason, ventilation slipped my mind. I almost lost all my babies.
The new one I just bought from tractor supply seems to have added 2 vent covers at the top on either side. Do you reckon this is good enough?
We got 2 adult chickens in Texas backyard
@@3Oh3metrostation Hi Emily. Are they vents, or, 2 round holes. Ours had the 2 round holes on each side. I had never had chickens before so I didn’t have a clue how important ventilation was, until we found them with there mouths open and I had studied enough to know that they were in trouble. My husband took a hole saw and added 4 holes on each side. When it started getting hotter he ended up taking the back clean out door off (you may can just drop it down) and filled that whole opening with 1/4” hard wire cloth. When it rained we just put a small brown tarp over half of the top with a couple of bricks to hold it on. I hope that this helps. It got so hot that we had 2 picnic table umbrellas over the top, and 4 fans with jugs of ice for the fans to blow on, they laid in front of the fans with their feathers blowing. They looked like they were in a photo shoot. We are so in love with them that they now have a 4x8 coop and a 24’ x 8’ run. My husband built it out of old business signs that a sign business gave us just to haul them off. He covered their run with them also. We got the wood from construction building site dumpsters. All we had to buy was the black 1/2” hard wire cloth. It is the best chicken coop that I have ever seen🙏❤️. If you have any more questions feel free to ask. I am just learning as I go. 😁
Question: not sure where you’re located, but we have the same coop for four hens. We live in NE Oklahoma where the winters get down to between 0 to 20 degrees. How have you winterized your coop in order to keep the hens warm?
Good to hear from you again Joseph! Hope the girls are doing well. Luckily for us we are in Southern California and don’t have but a few nights that get down to 30 degrees. Look at the website backyard chickens. Com they have some great information. I’m sure you get some really cold weather there. I have not had to deal with that extreme cold 🥶 here. When the girls were young we did use a heat lamp for reptiles and it worked great. I used one of those metal work light housings and put the heat lamp in there and it reflected the heat pretty well. I wish I had more information but check out that website. I hope this helps check back with us and let us know what you come up with as it might help somebody else out in the community.
@@ocotillooutlaws4101 thank you.
I am planning on buying this coop for 2 or 3 chickens and I was wondering if you think there would be any mice or rats in a neighborhood our neighbors have 6 chickens and there does not seem to be any rodents.
Gus Gus,
Anytime you have food and water especially outdoors, rodents will be attracted. Do some research on rodent control and keeping chickens and ask your neighbors what they do for rodent/predator deterrent. A good place to start is this website
www.backyardchickens.com
Hope this helps!
@@ocotillooutlaws4101 thank you
Great Video great ideas, quick question, can i put two hens in here comfortably and is it ok if they just stay in this coop/run all day? i have feral cats and other critters and don't want them walking around the yard, is this ok for full time use?
For two hens they should do fine. Try to let them out with your supervision to protect from predators once and a while if possible. Morning coffee and chicken playtime this will promote happy hens that will gift you with awesome eggs.
@@ocotillooutlaws4101 thank you for getting back, i don't have the ability to setl up a bigger run, but i feel so bad and don't want to keep them in their 24/7/365, but if i do let them out will they run away, lol??? i need to be able to shepherd them where i want them to go. never had chickens, but love animals and want to make sure their happy, just don't want them running away. or worse, i have 2 feral cats that hang out in my yard and don't want any problems there, hence, the fear of letting them out? should i get a portable foldable run and put them in there? thank you for all your advice
@@sherribaby32000 if you can find or make a movable portable run that would be great! Cats aren't the only predators you need to keep an eye on, hawks can also go after your hens. They will wander off and can also fly short distances when they get scared or startled. Check your surrounding area out. If you are in the city or in an area with open space around your location you may have coyotes, foxes and raccoons to look out for too! The neighborhood dogs can also cause problems.
I would start my checkin farming
Thanks for the subscription and watching the video! Best of luck in starting your farm😎
Thanks for the video, my wife and I just put one of these together today, I hope it is going to be okay, it has some good qualities, but none of these coops are perfect. We got ours at TSC, Tractors Supply $ 299.99.
Thanks lontrucker44! It seems these days that no matter what you get you have to modify or re-engineer things. Hopefully you will be as happy with your coop as we are. We are still working on a better idea for the door latches and will share that when we find something that functions better. I don't trust the latches against the raccoons!
So you still like the coop ?
@@paulwall5851 after the small mods to customize it to our needs it's working great for us!
What do you put on the bottom of the run?
Marsha,
We attached 1/4 inch galvanized wire mesh as shown in the video. Your local feed or hardware store should have some. 1/2 inch will still allow mice to get in.
What size are the screws you put through the rail to attach to the 2x6?
We used 1 1/2" Phillips head deck screws from home depot.
Great thanks. Putting up same coop and following your suggestions. Thank you.
@@tearuup1 right on Allen! Good luck to you and let us know how it works out for you. 😎
The mesh that you put down in a single layer under the wood platform? Do they hurt their feet scratching on that?
Also, wtf. I just paid &379!
Thanks for the question! A layer of dirt is placed down on top of this first so that they aren’t directly on the wire. Inflation sucks! At least now you will be able to get your own fresh eggs to offset the added cost of your coop!
Yeah its 500 now at tractor supply
How much more can they charge for this? I just paid $7.00 / gal for gas.... Which area is this tractor supply located?
@@ocotillooutlaws4101 Collierville tn

@@ocotillooutlaws4101 anytime 😊 I got my first 4hens ever and I'm super pumped and a bit worried.
@@ShakiraYah don't be worried ! Just go with the flow. There's lots of help out in the community you'll do great! Share what you learn with others if you can. Keep us up to date on your progress😎
How about ventilation? Do you think it need improvement too?
Hey Uzi! Yes ventilation could be improved. We plan on only one chicken at this time and at the peak of the roof under the ridge plate is a gap that will allow for some airflow. You should have 1sq foot of vent opening per chicken. In the future if we add more hens we will add venting in the coop to create a good crossflow of air. Depending on your climate and weather, the type of bedding used and keeping a clean coop can help with poor ventilation issues by preventing build up of ammonia gasses and moisture from the droppings. If we add more hens I will show the placement of more ventilation. 😎
@@ocotillooutlaws4101 Thank you so much for your reply! We are first time chicken owners. Will get ours next week. We going to put in this coop four pullets with access to backyard during the day time. Planning to keep clean, as I'm afraid smell and rodents . We live in Georgia, and it is pretty hot in here in the summer. Thank you very much for your help!
@@UziTheGermanShepherd My wife and I live in TN and live in a neighborhood, we had 10 chickens at one time. We cleaned the coop out once a week and never had a complaint of smell.
@@spydergs07 How'd yall clean out ur coop? Did u take out all the nesting wood chips or just the droppings.
I’ve set the same coop up on 2x6’s as you did. Did you ever place additional locks/latches on your doors? Really struggling with what to do extra to keep predators out. I have to place my 7 week old chicks in the coop pretty quickly. Would appreciate any advice.
Hey Joseph! I hope the coop works out for you like it has for us! I'm still happy with it after modifying it. As for the latches I ended up with a temporary set up on the big door outside portion using carabiners and eye bolts in addition to the latch. That seems to work and on the coop door I haven't used anything. Had to fend off a bobcat the other day. Saw your photo for your channel, reminds me of my uncle Chick Allen he was with the Original Baldknobbers of Branson Missouri. He played the jawbone of a mule for his instrument. Good memories 😎 thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. If I come up with a reliable latching system, I will try to make another video to share.
@@ocotillooutlaws4101 thank you. I did find some new latches today and used a metal drill bit for screw holes. I have a latch on the coop doors and the run door. Also, was able to secure the clean out pan. Thanks for your help with this.
Was the treated lumber pine that you find at the big box stores?
Joseph - what kind of latches did you use and where did you get them?
Yes found it at Home Depot
Thanks for getting back with me. I like your site and your modification ideas. I’ve read that the pressure treatment for wood could “potentially” not be safe for chickens. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
How many 8 foot treated wood did you get for the bottom?
Hey Derek !
I used 3 ea and cut them width 36.5" length 73.0" all of these coops vary in size and dimensions may be slightly different from coop to coop. Build the coop first then double check measurements before you cut your wood. Thanks for watching 😎
@@ocotillooutlaws4101 thanks so much!
How many 2x6x8 boards did you use to raise the coop.
Hey Albert!
We used three pressure treated 2x6x8
Thank you for getting back to me
@@albertedwards2320 👍
What is the length & width of the 2x6 boards that you put under your pen?
Hey Eric,
Thanks for the question! The width is 36.5 " and length is 73.0 " did you find one of these coops at a good price? If you did, please share that here😎 double check your coop base measurements as they may be slightly different from coop to coop. You want the bottom rail of your coop to rest in the center of the top of the board or as close as possible. Hope this helps and thanks for watching👍
@@ocotillooutlaws4101 Thanks for the reply, this was very helpful and loved your ideas that you improved on the coop. Unfortunately if I had got this coop earlier I would have saved $100..I paid $399...Thanks for posting your video
@@ericbrackenridge7686 That’s what we paid and it was on sale! Regular price as of the end of May 2022 is $449.99.
What are the "true" outside dimensions of the Coop - so one can build a base in advance of assembly??
John,
Thanks for the question they all may differ a little but I measured mine and it is 36.5" x 75.6/8 I built my base 36.5/8 x 76.0" this worked for my application. The part that the nesting box is over is slightly narrower than the rest of the coop it is 35.1/4 wide. You can also use 4x4's to give yourself a little extra play room. I went with the 2x6 for the depth.
@@ocotillooutlaws4101 Thank you - I was thinking concrete 12 x 12 pavers and then 4 x 4 or 4 x 6 wood and then the coop. Of course the base with wire, etc too. However, have some reservations about this coop - and hesitating at the moment. BTW wood in direct contact with the ground - voids my Termite Contract on my house and that would in turn void my Home Owners. So I will with have to do some kind of cap block or pavers and then the wood, etc.... the wire of course can go below all this and sand can cover it etc... may go pavers and cap block cheaper. TSC is having some problems with damaged goods too and nearly 6 month replacement. Thank you for the response - appreciate it.
Bit the bullet - but will seal and paint it before assembly and got the 8 x 8 run too and used hardware cloth and pavers for the predator base - and working the predator base outward from the 8x8 run and putting the coop inside and using Cap Block for the coop base. we will see how this costly experiment works - I do not want to have to try to rebuy in a few years, as I see so many people do. I am using metal feeder and waterer too - I am in a pretty harsh environment. I am also anchoring the run portion - with the winds we have. We shall see how this goes.
@@johnsturtevant9351 Great! Your build sounds well planned out for your environment and surroundings. Please continue to share your progress and what you come across so that others may gain knowledge and learn from your experience😎 what wind speeds and types of predators are you contending with?
@@ocotillooutlaws4101 I will and thank you - I live where EF5 Tornadoes are common - wind speeds are very high at times. Widespread damage - I am taking that into account - flying coops is not in my game plan - LOL - I do have Eagles and Hawks too. Thus a hardened tarped roof.
What were the dimensions of the pressure treated wood for extra protection?
Hey Zero,
I used 3ea 2"x6"x8' with the dimensions of 36.5 w X 73.0 L thanks for the question!
@@ocotillooutlaws4101 I'm seriously thinking of getting this coop. And I'm damn near sold in this. So ima get it more than likely I just wanted to get the wood pre cut while I wait for it to arrive 😌
@@zeromusphoenix798 I get that for sure! Keep one thing in mind as I tell this to everyone that asks the same question is that these all may differ a little from coop to coop so you may want to wait and put it together and double check the dimensions before you pre cut the wood.
@@zeromusphoenix798 just curious what is the cost these days and what area? Last i heard was 499 in Tennessee !
Hey, great videos! About how many juveniles ya think this will hold while integrating into the big flock?
Hey Steph! We had five young ladies in this humble abode and they seemed to be comfortable with enough room to have a little space to themselves and breathe. But for full grown hens I wouldn't house any more than three. I hope this helps. Thanks for your question and taking the time to watch! 😎
Same coop in my area is 499
Crazy prices! Thats the record so far....
what is this style coop called?
Same as the video title... Producers pride (sentinel) chicken coop. Thanks for asking
We are have 3 road island reds and 3 Australorp, is this going to be too small for them? Any thoughts on a solution
Matt,
Thanks for the question ! To make six hens healthy and happy in this size coop is going to be a challenge . I personally felt that three hens for this size run and room inside the coop was just about right any more and it would be cramped. It can definitely be done. Do you free range the girls during the day? If not a larger run on the outside would be needed as each chicken needs about 15 sqft of space to roam and additional roosting space would be necessary. Ventilation also is a consideration as each hen should have about one sqft of ventilation each. Meaning you would need to locate areas to add openings for this. We will be doing this as we will be adding two additional hens. So yes you can make this work with modifications and some reengineering. Depending on your situation, the other options are to research another larger coop or to custom build your own to suit your needs. If there is an interest I will do a video on the coop that I custom built in the future. Hope this helps and keep us posted on your progress!
Build your own.
@@ocotillooutlaws4101 I build a 10 by 15 run for the outside of the coop, and they will also have access to 1/4 acre to be in when we are outside. So basically the coop will be used for night time. So sounds like I just need to work on ventilation?
@@Termonder Matt,
Sounds awesome ! Our coop is for roosting at night as well. Your girls should be pretty happy with that set up. Ventilation is important, right now we have only one hen using the coop but soon we will introduce. Two more and will need to add ventilation also. Looking at ideas now. Let us know what you come up with!
@@ocotillooutlaws4101 thanks for the info I would definitely be interested in the videos you mentioned before.

In Maine they wanted $450 but had a sale for $350 . Just bought it yesterday
@@Mild2WildOff-Roading awesome! Glad you scored a deal! Hopefully others will find this sale too. Have fun with it and enjoy the freedom it will bring you.
The company didn’t put ventilation in the coop, or maybe I missed it. If they didn’t, and a newbie buys it, their baby’s may end up like mine. Half dead!!!
Did the get too hot? Too much ammonia from droppings? Please share your experience so that others may learn and maybe help you with what they have done, cause we don't need half dead babies! Backyardchickens.com is a great resource also for beginners
@@ocotillooutlaws4101 No, I don’t think so. I was so afraid that their coop would smell that I might have cleaned it to often. Now that I know better, I do better. I was so excited to get started raising chickens, that it’s just hard to absorb all the details. You HAVE to have proper ventilation, even if chickens didn’t ever poop. You would think that was just common sense, it wasn’t to me. I just want people to please take ventilation seriously. It’s no joke.
There is a circular vent on both sides of the coop.
@@Incomudro1963 That’s not enough. Look up some videos on ventilation on chicken coops. ❤️😊🙏
Looks like there's not a bit of ventilation anywhere.
The only ventilation is the door and the open space between the roof panels that is covered by the cap plate. I added additional ventilation to create better air flow. The design could have been a little better just like most products out there. Cutting corners for a profit or just not having a well thought out design.
@@ocotillooutlaws4101 I saw a newer video that had vents in the gables, right where you would expect them to be, maybe the new ones have them. It's not reflected on the packaging though.
@@Josef_R that's good feedback thanks for sharing.
That is a perfect design but you're right we also live where there's raccoons up here in the mountains and I would think those locks would be changed by now yes and since you had smaller rodents that got in through your wiring there why couldn't you put a secondary smaller wire you know from that black one that you were saying that the rats could still you know rodents might be able to still go through why don't you double Fred that and put two layers and I think that would solve the problem from anything getting in and the design is perfect and the price is perfect because I want to teach my grandkids how to raise chickens and my daughter said I can get four hands and one rooster which this would be perfect for us yes and thank you so kindly for the design and for an extra design on your little house I also wanted to ask you if you would put some solar light panels where you open the gay or door you understand a light would come on yeah that would scare predators also away from the coup I was hoping that was installed just a tiny light yeah or you would open the box for the doors when you take out the eggs or the door for the coop small light to keep predators away yeah, and those same designs could hold six animals in the same Coop design for four rabbits and one male rabbit yes and for small families this would be perfect to start them off on energy green global right at home in your own backyard yes, thank you and it's a very reasonable price cuz this is what I was looking for yes and it's also perfect and I'm going to give you another use that you can use this for is also for rabbits if you enclose it with plastic that you can't see through to make sure it's sealed for the winter and they can also use that with ties and then snip them off have a blessed day?

On the bigger Chicken Coop you need a modification and how the front part is designed but what you also need is the round sticks that look like poles that you put in the closet and you put chains and nails in to make swinging swings for the birds yes and you can take the same poles and put purchase also for the birds yes on the bigger ones and for your feeding law for them you can get your PVC that's long shoot out of your chicken coop and fill it to the top and screw on a cap and put your feet through that with water that goes down long yes and you can keep a bucket of feed on the side yeah and that would be good for your older chickens and if you also have a pen for rabbits yes and I think you can also put little pigs in the older pen yes and you can also sell yes, and don't forget the smaller pan that you're designing with the six animals for the chicken pen could be used with two rabbits and one male rabbit because you have three slots I would go three rabbits and one male rabbit and for the second one on that smaller Coop because you can have six animals right yes if you wanted to race two turkeys you could because he said you could hold six animals you take away the mama bird and the papa bird and the baby usually has four to two turkeys you know little turkeys or maybe they have three but the coop can grow with the family and as the siblings grow up and you can choose which one you would you know sacrifice for the food you know but if you don't need to eat them you can just use their eggs that would also be great and also the smaller pen would also be good for ducks also yes and with ducks see what also start off with four and a male or three it just depends because you have six animals and you want just to grow a little family to start off with yeah, and to make sure that you can also protect the outer layer of the cage offer plastic that you can't see through the white Carpenter plastic and some Thai strings to the customer fit it to around your cage for winter protection yes and from predators yes as an extra package to your cage for a small fee yes and then offer the customers free delivery yes, neighbors liked it know what you're working on in the garden yes, and for the bigger caged to introduce them to the adults you can also put in baby swimming pools for the pigs yes to design in there yes and they can play in like a mud hay kind of pen for them yeah and then with your PVC pipe coming down for the pigs food or you can make an old fashioned trough off I would think one of those old fashioned gas cans that you cut in half yeah you can use one half for water and the other half for its hay with its feed you know that's just a thought and or you can use those blue water containers and slice it in half and what is for water and the other one is to feed the pig with and it could be put in that pen that is the larger rooster chicken pen yes I would only raise two, yes, so that might be something you might look into some of your designs to add in yes 🧘👍🕯️✝️🤝🙏🌈✨🌟✨🌄✨💟💟🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🎇🎇🎆🎆💌💖💖✨
How did you get it so cheap? They are $400 now!
The price has gone up from the time we purchased this coop unfortunately for everyone! Inflation.... Supply and demand is the main reason that I can see. We were fortunate enough to have been at the right place at the right time. We also took the time to research all coops we could find locally. And found the most bang for the buck with this coop. Thanks for asking 😎

$350 in Texas
why is your voice so slow
'Cause I'm not in a hurry😉
My dog has opened those locks and has eaten the eggs and the chicken feed. So they are terrible
Not the best lock design for sure! Smart dog😎
@@ocotillooutlaws4101 hehe. This is the only time I wish she was dumber. Lol
Путин, разберись с генералами за попытку пацанов пустить колоннами к Киеву без прикрытия авиации.
Good video 👍
Horrible Chicken Coop 👎
It looks the part but, it is cheaply made. If you're serious and want to treat your chicken's right....
Spend a little more money and build your own.
Thanks Tony!
I did build one! If there is enough interest I will make a video on the larger one that I built. This coop is one of the better affordable coops for those who may not have the time or experience to build their own. There is a lot of poorly designed chicken coops out there, that's why we modified this one to suit our specific needs. If you have any cool design ideas or recommendations for a similar coop please post them here to share with others!
