Where does Chicken Sleep at Night ? How to build a Roosting Room
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 жов 2024
- A chicken roosting room is a place for chickens to perch on roost that is off of the ground to get together and congregate at night to sleep. It helps them to feel safe from predators.
The dangers of chickens sleeping on the ground, without a roost, leaves them more susceptible to pathogens and bacteria in the litter on the floor of the coop, as well as external parasites such as mites and lice.
Hollis design the roost to be easy to maintain and comfortable for our chickens. We hope this video can give you tips and ideas for your chickens.

Am thinking there isn't a better pair of "Caretakers" on Earth, for any animal or bird, than you two. Very nice build.

👩🌾
Where was Nancy’s have a blessed day? 😔 Always watch your videos through and missed the misses at the end! 😍
Good work Hollis. My first thought was hope it's not too hot inside. Anyway I know you know what you are doing. Have a great day. God Bless you and Nancy and Bing Bing
Got some videos coming out on that👍
Nice green shirt. You are the hardest working "retired guy" I've ever met.
Great Lawn Company!!
That is to put it mildly! Wish my partner shared my dream to do this. But Im 67 and he 70, so he doesnt think we could manage 4 chickens. These two make an excellent couple to live vicariously through. God bless 'em💙
Hey Hollis and Nancy. Love the chicken house.
I always like the way you just toss your clamps out of the way! Thanks
Thanks Hollis and Nancy, enjoyed watching you build the roost ! Now let’s catch them on it and see how they are doing.. Fred.
THAT is the nicest, coolest, sweetest, most awesome chicken house I ever seen. You do some fabulous, quality work.
that looks nice Hollis and Nancy. 1 thing I would do is not go with 1/4 on the back wall. It might not stand up to the chicken poop and pressure washing very long, maybe 1/2 marine plywood. God Bless you two.
I have watched 1-3 chicken set up. I found the videos very interesting. I appreciate your sharing. Looking forward to seeing the chicken enjoying their happy home.
Thanks for watching!
Those chickens are going to be living in the lap of luxury! 😂
Have a bless day
Bleachers for the chickens 😎
Sweating is healthy, just keep drinking, may be add a tad of seasalt into your water bottle.
I think you are the best in looking after the interest of animals and birds. Keep it up
Love it! All they need is air conditioning and they are set.... Awesome job as always. God Bless!
Love it 😍 those girls will definitely be spoiled 🐣
Fantastic chicken building roost. God bless you Hollis. Is there anything you can’t do! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💕
Nice!!!!!!!!
God Bless y'all and Bing Bing. ❤
Don’t forget to wear a respirator. I had a friend that raised chickens for years and cleaned out his three coops every weekend. He died from something he caught from breathing the dust from the droppings, but he only wore a dust mask.
Thank you for sharing your life and your love for each other, not to mention of your love for the Lord. I always look forward to your latest installment of your lives there in Florida. You always bless me in every way....Thanks again for sharing and God's continued blessings for both of you....
You are so welcome, we feel blessed to be able to do this.
Love the coop!! Ours is about half that size. I bought a huge dog pooper scooper to pick up their poop out of the wod shavings. It helps me reach it without bumping my head on the roost. Lol
Great ideal. Thanks for watching
We always enjoy your videos. God Bless
Yay! I've been waiting for more chicken stuff.
I’d love a video on what tools you refuse to go without along with safety measures for storage for fishing on and off the boat. My uncle and I built a 16’x6’ flat bottom river skiff out of plywood for my son and the last storm a tree fell on it and broke the port side rib. I’m going to start repairs and get a designated area for it like a shed
Nice job! We had chickens but it became too much for me. My husband built a beautiful chicken house that he changed to a nice garden shed now. I miss the chickens and delicious eggs but not the work.
We love the chickens and the chores don’t really bother us. To us it’s worth it
I was wondering if you filmed this a few months ago. I know you got a new golf cart. You have systematically been building all over your property. Everything looks wonderful!!! You did a great job!!! Did you do a Spring garden?? I'm waiting to see your current garden and harvest. You must be picking lots of vegetables. Looking forward to more videos!!!
Your videos always remind me of the Ark been prepared for the flood 😇
Love all your videos. Perfect detail and great ideas. What is the music in this video? My head was bobbing along but I couldn't place it. Thank you for all you share with us!!!
Welp..Looks like fight for my tomatoe plants life...After 2 weeks of rain. .And worked the ground to aerate some to get the areas to dry some. .This week we had good dry mid heat..I noticed yellowing on some of the plants leaves.. I have healthy 4ft stalks. .and tomatoes showing growth .. Problem earlier during last. Week was a wilt at top..Faught that back with the aerate. .Recovery looked good. .I'm seeing a few signs of bloom fall off. At end..Not all.. I definitely used the tomatoe feed mix during growth. .To keep this from happening. .I cut back the water..So roots will feel good...and not suffocating effects. . It was mentioned to use a mix of lime water. To add calcium back in after all that rain 2 weeks ago.. These happen to be all 5 gal. Containers, except two big better boys in ground. Dirt blend was good. .through out process. . These four graded contains. .gave plenty of drainage at bottom as well. . I went ahead. .And used a light mix spray of NEEM..on the tomatoes today due to early sign..and pest coming.. Any remarks?
To o'l bruised green thumb. .lol..
BLESSINGS
When are y’all putting chickens in there. And can’t wait for the gardening videos
Was wondering if you were going to put in ramps for the chickens to get up on those higher roosts?
Thank you.
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching. Have a peaceful week❤️
Whew, glad to see you keep the water handy! Nice roost. How about adding some wooden closet poles so the chickens can really wrap the feet around it. Run the poles right where you were standing at the close of the video. Two poles on top side by side and two across the bottom from one end to the other. I would be curious to see what they would roost on. Keep up the good work you two. Isn't Florida fun in the summer? ;)
They love the flat rails. Very comfortable for them
👍
This is Carl from Northeast Ohio let me start by saying God bless all of you. I have been following you for years. I hope you can get back to me I have a problem. I got way behind this year I had planned on planting potatoes like Mr Hollis does in containers. So I ordered sets online. The sets I got had beautiful eyes on them so I cut most of them in half and put them in the box about a week ago some of them got the skin like he said they would but some of them are molded my question is what do I do plant them cut the mold off ??? If you can get back to me I would SOOOO appreciate it. Just to let you know I absolutely love your new place. It's like your living my dream. I have talked to you before I got baptized in September and came to Christ and it had changed my life. With that I hope you can get back to me God Bless.
Cut the mold off and let them scab over again. This time only leave them for 24 hours to scab over then plant them
Stay well and careful in that heat
I know that the panhandle of FL can get very cold in the winter and hotter than hell in the summer. So I'm curious why you chose a metal shed? What's your predator prevention plan?
Consider putting linoleum on that back wall.... much easier to clean.
awesome job, How many chickens do u have? love ur videos thx for sharing 😊
37
@@HollisNancysHomestead nice, i tried to have 10 but my chickens all have chickens and now i have about 100 lol I just love ya'lls videos. My brother got me watching u guys about 3 years ago.

Lol politics even for chickens. Love it.
When are we going to get a garden tour
As soon as we finish the garden complex
Yeay, I love a good chick flick
😂
Do you guys have problems with snakes in your homestead
We have plenty of snakes but not what I would call a problem with them. We keep an eye out for them all the time. It’s pretty standard procedure for rural Florida
Did you bring Michaels cross with you when you moved down here to Florida or do you have plans of building another memorial? Been following you both for so long! Looking forward to seeing some grow videos ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for being such a loyal friend. No, we didn’t bring Michael’s cross. I recently just completed a new one. It is much larger than the old one. We did a video on it that will be released in a couple of weeks. Hope you like it. June 16th makes 12 years since he went to Heaven. Please keep me in your prayers. This is still a very sad time of the year for me💔
Oh yeah, I almost forgot....we are working on vegetable growing videos as we speak. They will be ready for the fall growing season. We will start releasing them in August❤️
Thank you both so much for making your videos! We live in Phoenix AZ and I hope to have some raised beds for growing this fall. I love the easy-going delivery; makes me feel like my husband and I are sitting around the table with you two, Nancy and I, of course, are beating you and my husband Joe at Spades!! (I hope you are familiar with the card game! Whilst I enjoy your how-to videos, I love your subtle way of sharing your witness for Christ!
Can't have chickens where i live
So sorry. Have you considered quail?
I live in a business area and I'm lucky they let me grow a garden to share with others
Have you lost a lot of weight?
Yes but I found it again
What happened to your arm
Tendon damage from too much chainsaw work
Love it! All they need is air conditioning and they are set.... Awesome job as always. God Bless!
