My first ever chick coop...I think I got the ROOF put on in 7 minutes because it was starting to rain!!🐔🐔🐔🐔 The whole thing took me about an hour or so... Seriously though, I would have never gotten it together without your video. The provided instructions are crap!! Thank you so much!!!
Glad I found this because I left my box in the rain and the instructions were ruined. I have built several other coops so that experience and this video should make it possible to build.
I've been looking at this coop for several months. I wanted for a couple older hens but I recently got 2 silkie babies. I have put together two small coops that say "5 or 6 chickens". Lol! Really they mean 2 to 3 chickens. This is going to be perfect for my silkies. I will even be able to add 1 more. This video helps. But I think they have improved the directions.
I just bought this coop today and have to wait till Sunday to go pick it up thank you for the video it’s really cute and looks like it will serve it’s purpose. New chicken mom here there are so many to choose from and they are not cheap price wise. This one was the right size and price for my budget so than you for the video! I’m excited to get it put together!!
The video gets the job done I wasn't totally confident in what I read so it's nice to see the visual. I would have appreciated a voice over of what he was doing and which part went to what along the way for quick reference
Well…. I’m about to put 3 of these together so I can separate my silkies. Because the wood is so dry, and I’m in a low humidity area, I’m going to paint and seal the pieces before putting it together. Otherwise it won’t last more than a year where I live. 😞 wish me luck…. A LOT of luck. 😂 thanks for the video. 🙏
I'm wondering if your instructions are different from mine because you took a lot of steps that are not listed in my instructions before assembling the sides and back
I did not, I just placed it as close as I could to the chicken wire, then stapled the wire to the coop around the door, and cut the wire out. I might do a follow up video this weekend.
This is great! Thanks for this video! I'm putting mine together this weekend and appreciate having a video guide like this! What do you recommend to seal along the plastic overhang that protects the gap in the nesting box? Caulk? On the Tractor Supply website, people's reviews were mostly positive- more than any other prefab coop of this size on any other site. I'd spent hours looking. Some folks suggested caulking along the inside of the floor edges and one person added insulation board. Not sure where (under the coop, between the two floor pieces?) or how they did that. Several folks painted before or after assembly and said the coop was holding up well that way. I'm going to try my hand at sawing and try to make a sturdy frame for the base so I can attach wheels and use this a portable run. I also ordered an automatic door and am trying to sort out which door side I want to cut for it. I'm thinking the side door used for cleaning. I'm open to suggestions!

Thank you for this! It made the assembly process so much easier!!! Chickens love the new coop❤
Thank you for this! finished assembly of mine today and was truly helpful
The music seems about right.

Good idea, we had our one up about a week and it saw some rain, paint started flaking off right away. I will be painting this weekend

Thank you! The directions are not the best and this was helpful. Yours looks so much nicer than what we received- splintered and warped wood.
Thanks for the video. Did you make a video on how you attached it to the run?
I did not, I just placed it as close as I could to the chicken wire, then stapled the wire to the coop around the door, and cut the wire out.

I just used silicone seal, I still need to paint the coop. It won't do well through the winter if I dont
Well, my instructions are beyond salvagable....I wish the video was slower than the Benny Hill speed, lol.
the instruction got wet we cant find any online wish us luck lol
Would it be enough room for 5 chickens.
Plenty of room for 5.
ok thanks
