Such a gorgeous book - each shed is unique and inspiring, and I love all the tiny details Kotite features to help readers imagine how to create their own She Sheds ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxe9yi0sulKgsp0VJJCIrLWWkvVqcU7LFR . The feature on Dinah's Rustic Retreat is like something from a fairy tale. It's really inspiring to see how creative all these ordinary people are in making beautiful and useful spaces on a modest scale.
Awesome Coop!! My primary takeaway though was realizing how thankful I am to live where my face may freeze off but I will never find rattlesnakes in my yard!!
Looks very warm
Straight to the point
Respect and love

I never imagined i would be envious and covet a chicken coop. But yet the day has arrived
I don't understand how so many people can dislike such an informative video, too much ingratitude in this world.
I don't know how anyone could dislike this video. What a genius way to put it all together. Love your ideas and will have to try some of them!
Who would thumbs down this video ? 🙄 people today. Great information thank you
Hands down the best one I seen so far 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
"I hope this was informative" Holy moly mate, that's a bloody understatement & a half!
Not even 2 minutes in & I realised I *need* to subscribe, the most articulate & informative diy video with no bullshit that I've ever seen.
May your coop provide you & your family with all the bum nuts you'll ever need!
Wow! You thought of EVERYTHING. You need to start selling chicken coops, extra money is s good thing! God bless you!
@@20cashdotxyz76 Hey buddy
This was one of the nicest DIY coop I’ve seen.
Thank you so much, just finishing up a coup down in Oz, loving these final last recommendations, so good, stay safe!
Wow! You are such a detail oriented person. I really respect that.
haha.. my wife might disagree... when I'm in build mode the shop and garage become quite disorganized... ;)
Fur Gulley I love this ! 💕 I think u would like to see one decoratated it , look at this one ! Cutest family and coop ever ! ua-cam.com/video/blnII-Gz1qM/v-deo.html
hi guys, the best results that i've had was by using the coop magic tactic (just google it) definately the most incredible info that I have ever followed.
@@ramosnash7922 adult people playing with chicken like dolls, may not be optimal for chicken :)
Wow!! Cluckingham Palace!!! Seriously impressive coop.
Too flaming funny 🐔 lol
🐓
The best name hahahahaha!!!!
This man is a handy man genius
Well done. People have zero idea abiut hwe chickens are so loving, They follow you around like a bf.
THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST USEFUL/INFORMATIVE VIDEO ABOUT CHICKEN COOP..YOUR INNOVATION REALLY STANDS OUT.
You put a lot of thought and planning into the whole setup. I like how you solved many of the chicken-keeping and cooping problems. Awesome! I really like the setup! Thanks for posting it!
To the 600 + people, y’all are weird if you don’t like this project! Good work sir!
Sr you are the most complete handyman
Congratulations, Keep posting
I am deeply impressed with your quality of engineering AND, as a creator myself, quality editing complex how-to videos. Subbed.
Man, you are a homestead genius! Thanks for the great ideas and sharing your projects.
Thanks for checking it out HD!
I followed your instructions for this project. Changed a few things. Used asphalt shingles and built my run with 2x4s, cedar fencing, and chicken wire. Start to finish, I spent less than $600 on equipment. I used decking screws for everything thinking of longevity. I only have 5 chickens! Building my gravity watering system in a next couple of weeks. Thanks for the great videos. A reminder for newbies like me, when you frame the coop, don't forget to compensate for the thickness of your walls. I forgot, and have 1/2" overhanging ply on all four sides. Doesn't impact the coop, but does expose your experience.Just remember, it's all math.
what a beautiful well thought planned and executed project!!!!
We have 4 chicks, our first ever. Building our coop. You gave me some good ideas. Thanks for sharing!!
This coop is better than most homes people have
Ничего и объяснять и переводить не надо и так всё понятно. Очень удобные, уютные курятники для птиц. Хорошие вольеры для прогулки птиц. Всё так компактно, место площади занимает не много. Все удобства для птицы и для хозяина, питьё, кормушки, загон, поддоны с подстилкой. Всё автоматизированно, кругом чистота и порядок. Хороший хозяин, надеюсь он не в убытке от такого хозяйства, яйцами себя обеспечивают, возможно и мясом. Супер!!!
Your chicken coop setup is amazingly well thought out, love it!
Wow this is one of the best chicken coop setups i seen. Great job and thanx for sharing you ideas.
Me and my wife are just starting in this. Thank you for the video
I like those slide outs to get rid of the poop. Great idea
Well explained and love how tidy everything looks!
This was pretty detailed. I'll Definitely be rewatching when I'm ready to rebuild my coop.
Amazing efficient chicken coop design.
I don’t even have chickens but I want that setup!!!
tweeted.... Chickens, gateway drug to homesteading ;-)
weetreebonsai haha...yes they are indeed! I think they are the perfect entry into homesteading and DIY projects since so many things need to come together...construction, watering feeding and caring for animals, maintenance, harvesting a bounty, raising young animals,....just gives so many awesome aspects in one thing😀
👍Finally, a chicken coop video that shows some well kept chickens. After viewing some other channels set up I had to stop watching videos for coop ideas. Your build is great. Thanks for the tour.

Wow!! If there was ever a chicken paradise..... Great video!
Better built than most American houses!
Love what you did with the coop - making it easy to access, clean and care for chickens. Thank you!
I so wish you were for hire, and around a thousand miles closer!!!! First time watcher, new subscriber. I miss my ladies, a raccoon got to them, but Such is the risk of a Seattle Urban Farmer!
Real life MacGyver, wow! I wish I had these skills.
Wow, if it wasn't an interesting watch enough you even got a snake. Great work!
This is the best setup I've seen. You put a lot of thought into it and it looks and functions great. Thanks for the clear explanations and the great tour!
I could never think of all that myself,but I believe I can mimick yours,really like the simplicity of your plan.thanks for the video/tips
Excellent chicken coup with so many great ideas used.
I love your design. I have forwarded your video to my husband and told him it would make a wonderful birthday gift. Fingers crossed.
That is one fantastic coop! I can see that lots of thought went into designing and making it.
thank you John! it has been a work in progress for quite a while... I enjoy tinkering and figuring with projects like these :D
wow, I love smart way that he was thinking to use Rainwater and Solar Energy this why I love to live out site of the big cities. So, I can enjoy nature, I'm a nature lover.
Monsoon rain reached all the way to the United States that is one more educated.
My parents have chickens and I sent this to my Mom because I love this set up.
Great chicken coop setup!! We will be modifying our prefab chicken coop with some of the features we saw from your video!
Thank you! I had bought a couple of those barrels with the intent on building a gravity fed watering system, but got stuck on how the end result would turn out. Love the pipe thing :)
This is pretty awesome! I just got my first chickens and definitely want them to be happy. This will go onto my future build. Thank you, for sharing the knowledge.
Watched all of the build love the coop and everything else.
GREAT CRAFTSMAN
Wow! That's like a deluxe hotel for chickens. Brilliant!!!!
Impressive. 4 stars chicken hôtel !
Beautiful coop. Thanks for the tour, Joe. Really enjoyed it.
Thanks for checking it out Anita! It's been a fun project to tinker with :)
Absolutely the BEST chicken coop ever! This is better than any of the houses I grew up in... I'm a little jealous.
The makeshift gutter is genius.... totally using that for my coop and art studio for rain water collection. Thanks for sharing!!!!
One of the best chicken coops I have ever seen. You seem to have the mindset of an engineer. The small details make a huge difference.
Thank you Mouka! I appreciate that... my mind is probably not as fine tuned as an engineer but hopefully I make up for it in creativity and tinkering with things ;)
Keep that Poop. pile it in a round wire 4ft circle, and fill it up, you'll have some excellent compost for your Garden. or plants. or a good worm bed!!
Very informative with a lot of ideas. Swell production also. I used to have small cops like this but got tired of having to get inside to fix things and clean things, and to occasionally pull out a dead chicken. These days I use two stand in sheds that I made out of plywood and 2x4's, and chicken wire. Along with heavy plastic wrapping for winter. Here in Utah, (fast becoming the Shit Hole of the West!), collecting rain water is illegal as the State claims they own the rain. However without any notification to Church and State which are one and the same, many people do it anyway. Everything I have built I have done on almost nothing. Next to 0$. The only things that have cost me any big money are sheets of clear corrugated plastic over the central green house and the cheapest 2x4's I can get and chicken wire fencing. I like the convenience of being able to get inside myself and rake out the chicken run and or use a small tiller each summer on them. My main trouble right now, that Construction of Homes and Apartments is going on 24/7 and every direction of the compass from where we are, and so RATS from every field that is being eaten up for construction are being driven inward to US! And so I go out with my BB gun from time to time hunt'in Rats. We would sure like to find a Real way to Escape Totalitarian Utah in the very near future!!! All Utahn's will be taking the Mark soon enough, and we want NOTHING to do with it. I am looking for anyone Honest who can help us get out of Utah. I want to go to the S. Eastern Idaho area, where individual Freedom is respected and land is relatively cheap. If you can help us then ask God for my exact name and address and come, or send your representative as soon as possible! With your help and enough means to buy land [with no strings attached], and develop the land with homes and defensive measures, If You Help me, I will make a place for you and also your servants!!! (I have been in Desperate Poverty for 30 years now, with no hope of a future, unless God helps us, due to the LIES that the so-called Saints like to tell.)

Love the heads up about the snake! Very thoughtful
Best chicken coop I've ever seen....nice job
It’s great to see some of your previous project standing the test of time, still looks like it was built a few days ago. 👍🏾
thats just because I gave it a fresh coat of paint a week before the video ;)
My aunt was terrified to even see snakes on TV. My dad used to go through my National Geographic World magazine and cover all the snake pics, she gave me such phobia! I have Florida Water Snakes, nonvenomous, not cottonmouths. But, I always say "A heart attack will kill you faster than snake venom!" That's was not the beast I would want to "test my new homemade snake grabber" on. Your coop is amazing, but all the comments on how chickens attract snakes has given me serious thought to chicken keeping in Pensacola, FL.
Amazing,cheers from the UK🇬🇧
As always Joe, you have put a lot of thought into your projects, good luck, I love your work.
Thanks so much Graeme! I enjoy tinkering and figuring with projects like these.. somethings work out awesome and others not so much... but then i just try something different :D
Joe, your chickens live like royalty. They are on a permanent holiday in the Homesteadonomics holiday home. Great video as always and best wishes from across the pond.
Thanks Tony! My hope is that happy chickens will produce better eggs...lol Or atleast satisfy my desire to tinker with their living conditions by build things for them ;)
You do deserve a praise...
Dude you have created that space with such military precision and care that I am totally awestruck and inspired... WOW.!!
Nice set up. My chickens broke those water cups in about a week, glad they're holding up better for you.
Nicest chicken coop I've ever seen.
Thanks Lois! It works well for these girls ( and the rooster man too ;)
Recently, i have been watching lots of coop designing and making videos. Your creation is indeed the best with high intelligence and super works.
The best chicken coop ever!
Now this is a fabulous chicken coop! We missed the mark on so many things when we built ours, but I love to learn how to improve on, yours is perfect to me 👌❤
thank you Melissa! I really appreciate that!
joe
You thought of EVERYTHING. Congratulations !!!, a greeting from bolivia
That is simply ingenious using rainwater to water the chickens, awesome build!
It's a great idea. I also raise chickens. I like the system very much. I will build one of these houses. I congratulate you.
I am a follower from Turkey
Dang! Rattler... Had one here in N FL last year with a whole rabbit in his mouth.. they are grumpy.
Nice setup Joe
Thanks Agaveman! That must have been a biggie!
GREAT VIDEO! BEAUTIFUL JOB!
🖒😊
There are many interesting and more advanced things, even a chicken coop, in developed countries. I think we are in Indonesia more than 200 hundred years left behind. Beautiful.
Your coop is better than my house. Bravo!
Wow how amazing! I don't know why yt recommended you but I subscribed! Love this :)
Nice job man, inspiring. Cheers from Norway
Normally we keep in cages due to space limit. This is a luxury home for your sweet chickens. My appreciations.
who are the jerks who gave this a thumbs down? The guy nailed it. Killer design- very simple and clean. If I had any critique, more so a suggestion, If I-myself cant fit inside the space I would run exterior access for the electrical. Not sure what else ya need.. I'm in the process of designing a coop for my own home and plan on using this video as a base model. Thanks Mr Homestead O'nomics.
Thanks and very informative. Show us how to build the snake catcher. Please.
Best watering system I have seen.
Thanks Cindy:)
One more very cheap and easy wild animal deterrent that maybe you haven't heard of or thought about, it even works fairly well in a garden too, and it draws so little voltage, I'm sure you could power it right from your solar and never notice the difference, is a small transistor radio set to a talk radio station (don't use music, I seriously have seen coyotes and deer called in intentionally with a Loretta Lynn 8-track lol), but critters are not as curios about talking voices, especially if they sound mad. Rush, Levin, Stern, Olberrman, etc. Or excited at times, like sports, and sport talk -- not golf though lol. It doesn't need to be loud at all, animals have good ears, just enough that you hardly hear it when you walk away from the garden, or chicken run.
I don't know how you stayed so calm catching that rattlesnake . I would've had to change my pants lol
Work well? I would say so.
This is what happens when a brainiac lives on a farm !
Wonderful in every way !
Joe, there are so many things going on in this video I don't know where to begin, Lol. First off, I was saying before a coop you build yourself is going to be less expensive and probably way more durable. The coops in the stores look like they would fall apart in a strong wind😂. There are a lot of great tips in here, I really enjoyed the part about coop security, it gave me some ideas. Great job as always. This is definitely what chicken coops should aspire to be. 👍
Thanks for checking it out Jim! It's not perfect but definitely one of those long term projects that keeps you revisting and re tweaking to get the most out of it....hahah.... or maybe I just like to tinker ;)
Green Dream Project ввппмаа
Look at that chicken! He can't do math!!!
Amazing Job. 👏 lots of love and happiness onto your ways. Lots of Best wishes from India 🇮🇳 👍
Nice. I’ll make some improvements to my existing setup. Also, I could tell we must be neighbors! We’re down the road in Sonoita.
Amazing coop! You have skills!! I need to build one but I don't think I'll be able to pull off something this awesome. But it does give me some ideas for sure.
This is truly impressive. Thanks for sharing your ideas
Your chickens are beautiful as mine thanks for sharing 🐓💜 🐓💜 🐓 💜🐓💜🐓
