Backyard Chicken Coop Anyone Can Build!

  • Hope you enjoy this time-lapse of building this backyard chicken coop! It took a bit longer than expected but we're happy with how it turned out, and so are the chickens! I went with yellow because we wanted some color and were inspired by some of the traveling we've done. I don't know the exact cost but it was somewhere in the ballpark of $700 or so worth of materials.

    I like that you didn't use a $100k wood workshop to do this like some videos. Just using your skilsaw for most of it gave me a little more confidence in my project. :)

      I love that he can actually use the tools and knows to simply flip a 4*4 over to cut it all the way with a circular saw. I see people using hand saws and other stuff and one guy had some Japanese pole saw or something .

      Awesome build, quick question. On the side where the two vents are do you think modifying the bottom to have a panel open up to allow for clean out would be feasible? Or do the plans already have that built in?

    Great tutorial! Love the simple design you made it look so easy to build!
    One suggestion I always make is to use natural wood sticks as roosts of various girths so your chickens don’t get arthritis. Makes it just a little bit more comfortable for them.

    • @WeekendRenegades
      @WeekendRenegades  11 місяців тому +5

      Thanks! And yeah I've heard a lot of different things around that particular debate with roosts. But from what I've read 2x4s with the 1 1/2" side up make for perfect roosting bars as long as you get rid of the sharp corners. I'll look into the arthritis thing though, I haven't heard of that.

    They live with us in our Apartment. We do not have enough space to make any coop for them. They are free though. Most of the times they stay in our rooms, on our beds, laps.
    Its my dream to make a coop, a tiny beautiful chicken palace for them 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

      We elected to build our Chicken House 24” off the Ground…the whole House & 10’x 24’ Run are 1/2” Hardware Clothed Completely Under & Up All Sides of Run so it is very Secure. My only Issue (didn’t see this coming) is my Girls occasionally Lay Eggs under the House…I can’t Crawl under it, so I won’t do that again. House is 8’x 8’ Floor but 12’ West Wall & 5’ East wall so we have a decent Pitch on roof…we have lotsa Rain here, so went with Green Metal to match our Home & Garage. You did a Superstar Job on your House!! Wonderful Video too!!!

    Nice work. I really like you showing the process and the tour at the end. My son and I are looking to build a coop the the next couple weeks and my wife says she likes this one the best. One Question: what kind of lumber did you use for the exterior trim 1x4's? Can it just be treated wood that get painted, or does it need to be cedar? Trying to see if could build this for $500 with lumber prices having gone down in our area just recently and I already have all the roofing materials.

    • @WeekendRenegades
      @WeekendRenegades  2 роки тому +8

      Pretty sure I used something like this for the siding. It doesn't need to be cedar, if it's treated wood and you paint it and caulk it with exterior grade paint and caulk you should be good. But, if you're trying to save some money you could always buy 1/2" or 3/4" plywood and rip it down to make all your trim. Wood prices are weird right now so I'm not sure how much that would save you. Thanks for watching!

    @BigDawgTheGreat Рік тому +2

    I literally just finished this exact chicken coop... The biggest departure in how I went about it was that I used more whole sheets of t1-11 siding and then used a flush cut router to get my doors and windows cut. I also decided to use PVC trim... So I only had to prime and paint the building and the trim was already white and ready to go. I still gotta caulk some screw holes but am done. I also am insulating mine as I'm in South Dakota where it gets both toasty and downright cold. My only dislike of this coop design is that the nesting box lid still manages to get water under it... At least with wind driven rain.

    • @WeekendRenegades
      @WeekendRenegades  Рік тому

      Good notes overall. PVC trim was a good call. I may still insulate mine as well at some point. Something else I would've done different as well was buy thicker t1-11. The siding I bought was thinner and saved me money but the thicker one probably would have been better. Thanks for watching!
