    Dude I've watched i know 70 to 100 videos on what to build for my ducks I love the way you talk I love the way you explain stuff I love how you're not thinking you're an expert cuz I'm like you I like to build but I don't know what the hell I'm doingI do it on my own also and my brain but I love this idea and this is exactly what I'm going to build for my dogs I think you did an awesome job thumbs up

    I think it’s wonderful that you don’t let your lack of experience in your youth, (when most men get their beginnings in building and creating with wood and metalwork), hold you back. I love it!

    For that stump you've got that won't die, cut it off a little above the ground and paint the freshly cut stump with diesel.

    Lol I feel you on the building thing... no idea if I’m doing right but damn it it’s mine! Lol. I just posted a video of the small reptile room I built in our garage and it’s still standing so I take that as a win!! Nice job man, thanks for sharing!

      yea it does feel good when you do it yourself. Going to see if I can find a small window I can install in the front next to the duck door so they can get some natural light in. Love finding all these little projects. Today I picked up another fridge so time to build another incubator because I outgrew the old one :)

    Very nice duck house. Maybe if I watch it a few times I my gain enough confidence to give it a try... going to have to, the ducklings are getting too big for my tub. So, uh... just ask for the flimsy plastic thing at Lowes? My big problem is I don't have anything but a hand saw...

    In terms of framing, it's really not so bad, I'd have done much the same, really.

    I believe Duckhouse 2.0 is much better... I feel ya on the anxiety relief. I get in building mode and next thing ya know. ...Masterpiece. Lol... With the little openings on the sides of the roof. I think your ok unless you have wiesels.... Those boogers are sneaky and can fit just about anywhere!!! You did a great job on it brother!!!

    Omg, your first decision (roof idead) was way better, are you gonna put AC for the hot summer months if not that's gonna be a Dutch over, the smells is gonna be bad for the ducks & whomever gotta clean it, also yah will smell those fumes walkin in & out of that area 😆😂🤣 Add window on top of the doorway, keep original roof options & add chicken wires on sides of new roof (better alternative as planned in original idea). That little 2-inch opening you got there isn't gonna ventilate shit 🤣 It's covered by two areas of wide & covered wood, amazing work, but would you wanna live in it with no windows, AC/ventilation & a bunch of other ducks & their hot shit, pee & breath all over you 😆 add original idea 😂Can you add dimensions & supply list of your original idea 🤣 Great Job, stay blessed, thx 🌻

    You did a nice job, and have a really good attitude. I love DIY projects, but am no carpenter either. Rescued a wild mallard duckling and just picked up some friends for the little guy. The clock is ticking on building a duck house. Good luck with yours!

    • @Chris_Graham
      @Chris_Graham  4 роки тому +3

      I dont know, I was thinking about that but from what i understand is ducks do really well with cold, and the coop should only be slightly warmer the outside temps so when they go from the coop to outside its not a big change in temps. If its warm in the coop and then freezing outside its a shock to their body so i dont think i need to insulate, but we will see.

      Chris Graham please put a strong hardware cloth, (that thick wire mesh with small gaps), in every single possible gap that you don’t even expect can be wiggled open. There’s snakes to consider as well as rodents, long arms of raccoons, possums and critters you may never even know of! I’ve seen too many horror stories on poultry Facebook groups to make me wonder what on earth I was thinking to get any birds. When you have children it’s even more important they don’t lose a bird to predators.

    • @27acresaway24

      Snakes can easily go through chicken wire, use hardware cloth if you are worried about it.
