Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- Our chicken coop is finally complete and boy is Shellie happy with here new little she shed. It's a tiny chicken house with a big reveal and we're excited to bring you along. This project has been a long time coming and means more to us than just the chickens. It will be incorporated into our garden and orchard area and the chickens will be used as our little workers for tilling, fertilizer, and preparing the garden for the following season.
We'll show and explain the nest boxes, perches and spacing, foldable ramps, air flow, food and supply storage, and everything else built into this little tiny chicken house!

I love my she shed!! Great job hubby!!
Thanks, Farm Mom! Now I can get on with some plant projects!
You are blessed!!!!❤️
What an amazing job you did!! Hard work always pays off. Great job!!
Aww!! Very sweet y'all. Love it! Also...learned a ton from u both....little stinkers.. Lol
Hi Mike, Shelli and Girls! Wow! Your chicken house is great! I only found one thing wrong with it. It's not mine! Great job, Mike! I'm sure Shellie rely appreciates all your hard work. The floor was so nice it was a shame you have to co er it with shavings. Your little family brings back memories of my childhood with my grandparents!! Your girls will have all these memories for the rest of their lives and they will pass their life experiences to their children. You are doing a wonderful job teaching the girls that family is so precious! Your girls are adorable and they are learning to be hard workers like both their parents. Too bad more parents don't take special time with their children. Your chickens are beautiful and spoiled! Great job on the chicken hose, Mike. You have more energy than anyone I know. Enjoy your "she shed", Shellie! Chickens make great pets. I had one I got for Easter when I was 5. Her name was Henny Penny. She followed me around like a dog and when I called her name she'd come running and want me to pick her up. Great memories!! 💚
The entire series was brilliant, you toppled quite a few "This is the only way to do it", videos. Smaller is better, give the birds freedom to roam, and increase the productivity of the garden. Thanks for the info.
Glad you enjoyed it Jim. A lot of thought went into all of this and plenty of experience with different coops over the years. We've had 4 different coops, setups, and locations on our property over the past 16 years and this is a culmination of everything we wanted in one package.
OKMK,,,,,,,,,fantastic.U make me proud.
Thanks Dad. That's every son's mission.
Absolutely awesome chicken coop!!! Great design!!!
Thanks John!
Very Very NICE!! Shelly looks happy. Good Job Mike.
Thanks, Alice 👍
Happy wife = happy life. The shed looks great, your family is beautiful. Mike you hit this one out of the park! Great ideas implemented for cleaning ease! Again letting nature do its thing. Just a fantastic video and teaching aid! Thanks again Mike!
Thanks, Sam! Sure glad this one is done and I can move on.
Awesome build and everything is looking great! Nice to see the family enjoying it all. 💚💚💚💚💚💚
The girls especially like the part about collecting the eggs without getting dirty.
I really like how you set this coop up. Many innovative ideas. Great work.
Thank you, I appreciate it. Sure is functional.
Brilliant!!!
Such a nice family too!!!
You are so kind, thank you!
I cna verif that this is how they really are. Shelly and the girls are the best!
Wow, that's the coolest chicken coop ever. Seriously nice job!
Thanks, my wife loves it!
You! Are a man of many talents. You deserve a big ole Atta Boy! Congrats man on completing your project. Really looks awesome!
Thanks, Raymond!
Wow, wow, wow! What a well-planned, well-executed she shed. It’s a MasterCard moment for the whole family and a gardening, animal husbandry legacy you pass onto your children. Great job. 💕
Thanks, Judy! It's a MasterCard moment, lol.
That coop turned out great! You have some lucky chickens.
Thanks 👍
I love how all of Shellie's and your plant growth experiments give valid reproducable results since you set them up using a single variable. Scientific Method at its best. BRAVO!
Glad you appreciate them, Brenda!
@@MikeKincaid79 I dare to dream that all of my former students remember to stick to those rules as well! 👩🔬
Prime example of not following that rule... My son's vet recently treated his puppy's rash by:
A. Medication
B. Changing him to an expensive food that it sells
C. Taking him off treats
D. Taking him off peanut butter in his Kong when son has to crate him for work.
So if the rash clears up which of these four treatments was the cure?? Hmmmm.
This shed is absolutely perfect and exactly what i have been envisioning for my chickens. Thank you so much for the video !
It’s been an amazing chicken coop/barn and my wife loves it. Good luck on your build.
That chicken coop is awesome. Happy gardening !
Thanks, Darla, it was a lot of fun to build!
This coop turned out spectacular. Those are some lucky chicks. Great job Mike, your life should be so much easier Shellie taking care of your chicks. That coop will last for yrs, so the price tag isn't too bad actually. It was built so strong, so you won't be doing repairs for yrs, other than 2x4 perches being replaced. Well thought out for sure.
Thanks, Cindy! Shellie is excited to have it ready to use.
Awesome chicken coop/she shed. Very well made and definitely sturdy. Congratulations!!!
Thank you!
For what you put into it $3500 is great!
Of course you saved on labor.
Sweet family.
Thanks! Yeah, it seems like a lot of money but not for a really nice and strong pole building. Similar cheap sheds can be purchased in my area for $3000 but they are really cheap and fall apart. I'm super happy with how this turned out and the money was definitely worth it.
As you lovely kids said, it's amazing and awesome. Top Mike!!
Thanks, Patrick!
Whoa ...that's one awesome Chicken Chalet/She Shed! I'd put a glass window in the door between the clean part and the coop so Shellie and the girls can see what's going on in the coop without disturbing the flock! It would also provide some light on the clean side since you have windows in the coop side, especially during the winter months.
That's a great idea that I hadn't thought of!
Excellent job on the chicken coop it's amazing you're going to love it
Meant to say the chickens are going to love it
Inspector gadget meets the chicken house! I love it!!!
I just planted some tomatoes in a mix of mushroom compost an chicken manure... I cannot wait to see how they turn out!
Great job! I love the option of putting the chickens in the garden during the fall and winter!
I'll bet those tomatoes thrive for ya!
@@MikeKincaid79 I hope so!
that wonderful video, beautiful little barn for chickens, lovely garden and like on farm as we had chickens but old little barn of course, you have wonderful family to helps together, good job, Mike !👋😉👍🐓🐓🪴🪴💥🚜
It’s turned out to be a great little barn/chicken coop!
Thats a very impressive build, one tip i send you, is employ a removable covering on the perches and the front of the nest boxes, as the chickens will soil wherever they perch/stand and it sets like concrete, i have kept chickens for around ten years now, and i soon found this out, i use a strip of vinyl floor covering, as its easy to remove and clean and then replace after cleaning..i just jetwash it clean then put back into place,,i use re/usable zipties to hold it in place works very well,..and serves a good purpose, in keeping the perch areas clean...
I really appreciate the tips, thank you! It was a lot of planning and personal experience that went into this design and we're really happy with it so far. Like you said, though, it's always a good idea to protect the lumber from chicken poop.
Hey Mike, great coop/ barn. I like you, think chickens are little workers that do a fantastic job in the garden. Only way I can see to improve the coop side is to put little cleats on the gang planks. That way they can have easier footing when going up and down. I'd also round over the perches to make it more comfortable. Great video as usual.
Hey Mike, it looks amazing! I showed it to my husband too. You got some cool fixtures.
Bravo! Lucky chickens!
Hugs to all of you.🤗💜
Thanks, Camelia! Does your husband approve?
Yes Mike he really liked it!! Great job!🤗🤗🤗
This is great. Thank you mike. You are a great guy with a wonderful family. Best to you guys
Thanks so much, Jerry!
Wow, this so cool. I've been following your work on coop build and its amazing work. Thank you so much for taking the time to video this. Love it,
Glad you enjoy it, Bob! I had a lot of fun with this build and now that it's been a year I'm getting a little itchy to build another building that's closer to 400 square foot. We'll see if that one pans out.
Wow ...Mike very good finishes in this project ......Amazing !!!! ....
Thanks Mario. It was a fun build.
Awesome job ! Some happy chickens. Your girls are adorable ❤️
Thanks so much, Jessica! 😊
Wow, that’s lovely Mike,your girls so lucky to have you and the chickens of course 😀🤣😂👍
Yes they are!
Alright alright alright 👍
Mile that is so cool both wife and myself are watching the brilliant job you done. Just subscribed to your wife’s channel. Thanks for all your videos and advice.
Awesome! Thank you!
love it so much space of nest box, i watch from part one and finish.. is quality of coop for chicken
Awesome! Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed the videos.
Great job Mike, delighted for ye. U have some pair of hands, brilliant well done
Thanks Clive 👍
Fantastic! When I come over lets remove the ramp latches and inlay some magnets.
I mentioned that to Shellie but she wanted the latches. Maybe you can convince her.
Very nice.....Happy wife happy life....LOL
I'm redoing my coop and will be using some of your ideas, thanks for sharing.
Carlos
Very true! Good luck with your coop build.
Thanks for sharing. I love the design and I have to agree chicken Manure one of the best Garden fertilizers
You bet!
Fun watching your family.
So glad, thanks for watching, Andi!
What a beautiful family! Great job! Love your videos!
Thank you so much, Kathy! Glad you enjoy them.
Hi Mike just had chance to watch the finished video. The girls were right it's awesome. A quality job. Thanks for being honest over costing as well, people often either avoid the cost or manage to do a job for a figure you know cant be right. You were right to be excited...maybe the garden centre could include Mike's sheds and fish sales :)
I like to be transparent on here. I find that's most helpful for people and the best policy long term. Mike's sheds, lol, I better get busy!
Awesome coop, love the layout and convenience of storage, roosting area, nesting boxes very well thought out. Price wise you do get what you pay for, yeah you could buy a stand alone coop or get something from a big box store but you would never get that layout and accessories for that price. And as long as it’s maintained it will last a long time and you are right about adding valve to your property with it. Really love Shellie’s Channel she doesn’t an amazing job explaining through her videos.
I agree, we are very happy with the outcome here. Glad you enjoy Shellie's videos. I'll let her know.
What a great video. That is a real cool chicken coop and I guess I need to check out Shelly's channel to see the chicks fall in love with their new home. tfs
You're welcome, Sandra!
Great job, thank you for all you do
My pleasure!
Growin green by Medina is chicken manure it's the only thing I use it's organic. You're on the right track and your chicken coop is awesome!congratulations to all of y'all for all your hard work.
Thanks, Shirley!
Awesome job Kincaid family!!
Thank you, Robin! What a spectacular spring it's turning out to be. If you ever want to take a stroll through the rhodys, just let me know.
Absolutely amazing!
Great build. Quite the shed.
Thanks!
great job! I can tell you take pride in your work..thanks for sharing
Thanks, Harold! I had a lot of fun with this project. My wife has been using the barn all summer and loves it.
WOW! I just binge-watched all six episodes and I am so amazed. I believe I have forgotten whether you are a plant expert or a contractor! You did an amazing job. Congratulations.
Haha, thanks, Patrick! I really enjoyed building this and enjoy it even more now that it's done. More building projects to come in future videos.
Well done on that build,...Every time i mow our lawns, i end up with a large wheel barrow of grass cuttings, so i just tip them in the chicken run and leave it they eat a lot of it,and, they naturally spread it all out , and within 3 days its gone,,now if i were to put that on the compost heap it would still be there weeks later, so the chickens are great recyclers,, then i sieve out some of the floor in the chicken run, and top dress the garden with it ,.they are absolutly the gardeners best friend,...
Thanks!
That is terrific! Well done - and money well spent I am sure!
Thanks, Heather!
Mike you could have used 2x4's (except for floor joist and corner upright post). I like it, would have built it larger, especially the storage part. Could have been more multi purpose.. 12x12 is a bit cramped. I had a Rhododendron Nursery earlier in life and always wanted chickens, but missed some opportunities. I like your common sense and intelligence with respect to building and growing plants. You think the same way i do in so many ways.
Thanks, Aaron, glad you enjoy the videos! I could have done many things different with this build. I don't have an regrets and do like how it turned out for the purpose we had in mind but if I could do anything different, it would be to extend the roof line another 6 feet off the back for an outdoor shelter. That can always be done down the road though. Thanks for watching.
Great job with the chicken house Mike. Now let's build a 2 story rabbit house.. Again great job man.
Haha, that's gonna take some time.
I've been rethinking my chicken coop layout and this video has the best ideas! Thank you so much! Liked and subscribed!
Glad to inspire! Thanks for watching and good luck with your build!
I've been waiting for this reveal. The coop is wonderful and you did a beautiful job with the construction. Lucky chickens.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a beautiful family you have Mike. I love you guys. your enthusiasm and love shines thru everything you do.
Thanks so much, Chandra!
You did great.
Great family 👍
Fabulous!!👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏
Very impressive, Mike!
Thanks, Steve, it was a lot of fun to build.
Great build. I wish that I thought of making mine a little bit bigger to section it off for a separate brooding area and storage. Mine is 8 feet by 8 feet. There is no such thing as an over build but you can easily under-build.
One thing though, those hinged perch ramps are a little over the top. Chickens establish a pecking order in the flock, even the hens, and they roost in that order. When I first put my perches in the coop that I just built, you wouldn't believe all the squabbling and ruckus that want on at sundown. This went on for the first couple of days until they got their order established on the perches. Now they go directly to their position on the perches and all is quiet. If you place your perches about a foot by a foot apart like an extra wide ladder, they can easily jump up to their position directly without having to fight their way through those already perched.
Thanks, Thomas, we always wish it were different after the fact. I keep looking at mine and wishing it was 12x16.
That's a thought went into this
Sure did
So much detail so good,
Thank you! Cheers!
Fantastic !!!
Thank you! Cheers!
I use concert sand in my coop. just scoop. also nest pads for boxes. i learn from the chicken chick.
You are amazing!
I love that she shed, so happy for your girls... Thank-you for sharing
Our pleasure, Yvonne!
my god! along with the chickens, the roses (video i just watched), what a great and spectacular family you all are building and experiencing! cheers!!!
Thanks so much
Never mind bud I seen what ya did if your clueless see comments in video 5 chicken coop build
Chicken coop is totally BA you did an amazing job
wow! thank you thank you! I have been planning a chicken coop with the very same ideology about having the chickens take care of the garden and rotating but I never saw any plans for that in the various UA-cam videos. Your chicken coop is spectacular.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent job Mike! The shed is beautiful & so well thought out, it will make things easier. The chooks are gonna be in heaven lol. Price is well worth what you've built, your a very good handyman, it will last forever. 👏💯👍🐣🐤🐔❤🇦🇺
Thanks, Sharon, I'm really happy with the results!
Fantastic !!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!
Awesome!
Awesome mike! Great Job!
Thanks, Chinda!
Awesome Job!
Thanks, Mitch! I had a lot of fun building this.
Have you ever looked at sanicare? It's kinda kitty litter for horses, but garden answers lady uses it for her hens
Thanks, something to think about. My wife deals with those decisions so I'll let her know.
Just need to paint the outside of the coop to protect from the elementes, good job man.
✌😀👍
Yeah, we just recently bought some stain to protect it. I like the wood grain appearance.
Omg coool
She shed....love it!
Hi Mike and Family😊😊😊😊! Great💪😍!
Thanks so much, Nada!
Super! Perfect!
Thank you! Cheers!
@@MikeKincaid79 😁👍
That’s a lot of chicken house for the $ amount. Gee a simple shed is close to that. Great job! Ps your family is lovely.
Thank you! We started out looking at prebuilt sheds and I wasn't satisfied with the quality.
Another great video Mike. What was that? A rocket car under the cover? Lol
I love it!! awesome job.
Thank you so much, Timothy!
I LOVE it Mike!! U and ur beautiful fam have a great thing goin on! I want that too! Thank u for sharing man!
Hey Bobbie, you're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the coop. Got some great ideas to incorporate in my coop. Thanks for the video 🦋💕
Awesome! Thank you!
Chicken castle !
So awesome, I've been waiting for this video.💖
Glad you liked it!!
Wonderful job Mike and family, I use chicken manure on all my plants so I will give you a huge thumbs up as it works wonderfully.
Best manure I have ever used. Like your plans for rotating the garden. Great value for money.!!Take care and be safe..Graham 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍❤️❤️❤️🐣🐣🐣🐣🐔🐔🐔
Thanks, Graham! I always knew chicken manure was good stuff but never had anything to compare it to. Well, I was pretty blown away by my wife's experiment and it just cemented the idea in my head even more.
Mike Kincaid love the chicken manure, we can only get it in pellet form here but you sure know when it’s been sprinkled on the garden haha. Take care Mike.❤️
I love your videos. Cool channel I love gardening especially in the spring and summer when everything starts to flower! I've been growing carrots and onions lately. Nice chicken coop chickens are cute👍🙂
This is definitely our time of year. Enjoy your summer, Peter!
That is one sweet coop...
Great Job and Personally I think 3500 was a great price for this..
Thanks, Shellie is happy and that's all that matters.
Thats a very nice coop great work. Now forward 2 years later $3500 for would be steal with lumber prices gone thru the roof and plywood is worse. I'm guessing $5000 to build now.
Yes, or closer to $10,000
Very Cool Coop! We are so glad to find your channels. Trying the rose clipping expert and looking good after 10 days. Fingers crossed..Thanks!!
Glad you found me! Have fun and good luck!
Love this guy's personality!! I laugh every time.
Haha, thanks!
I ain't building this things, am I raring gods? lol billah I love this work though mine needs to be 6 times bigger than that. I so far have 12 nests all busy with birds laying.
How did I bypass the notifications for 4 and 5. It doesn't matter. Nice job Mike. It looks beautiful...
UA-cam is funny sometimes. Glad you got to see the final results.
Wow that is amazing! So cool! Very good job!
I’m also building a chicken coop, but nothing compare with your! 👍🏽
thanks! It's definitely a chicken coop to end all chicken coops, lol
wow Mike. You should be building houses.
that's a whole other league! I guess I could but you better add a few more months onto the build, lol
nice work but you should have researched minimum space requirements for chickens. 30 birds would need a minimum of 120 sq/ft inside and a 300 sq/ft run. They will be stressed. I learned this the hard way. My coop was not large enough and the hens would bully the weaker ones relentlessly. I built a 10ft x 12ft shed and 10x25 ft enclosed run. They are much happier and the bullying stopped. They need space. You may want to open up that entire barn to them. You could build a cabinet for the supplies like I did.
Almost 2 years and going strong. The chickens are happy and healthy, providing many eggs on a daily basis. The outside run is close to 4000 square feet.
