      Great job,I built a similar coop,maybe a bit longer,but then,i decided to cut a roof opening for light and sunshine,covered with plexi-glass,then I was able to plant grass seeds and plants for them to have growing greens and a lot of insects,like cucumbers,eggplant even 5 CORN plants,and i would gather worms from my garden and"replant"them deep enough,after that i rarely feed them myself,except for veggie peels,my next project is to raise snails,i"ll triple my egg production,witch is around 10/day with 8 brides and two roosters,the biggest of the two is almost 4kg....!!!!...WATCH FOR MINKS.....!!!!!

    One takeaway I can see from your project is: wife totally involved in helping; of as great or greater importance is your daughter observing (from time to time when not playing) her mom and dad working together in harmony and creating something. Should be of value later when she wants to do or make something, she can go to mom and dad for advice/help. Hopefully, this will pay great dividends in her later years. Good example for her.

    I built a chicken coop similar to this one but I live in Eastern Ontario so I had to insulate the living quarters. I used 2x4’s with 3 1/2 inch batts. I also had an electrical connection for a heat bulb. I build a guillotine door for the living quarters that I could raise and lower by means of a pulley system. It also was constructed using 2x4’s with insulation. To stop predators from digging under the coop, I installed wire mesh on the floor of the coop. Building this coop was a great experience and I got a new appreciation of just how fascinating chickens are.

    Your coop is one of the prettiest/classiest and fanciest 👌🏽 coop builds I’ve seen so far, you do tie with April’s W. newest coop though! I just wish you would’ve filmed more of it! There’s a theme with your videos and that is you leave out a lot of the steps. It’s like step 1 and suddenly you’re at step 3 and 4. And you also have it match the beat of whatever music and that would be fine if there was more demonstration. I don’t mean to be rude or critical, I’m just a fan of your work and would like to see more of it. This is a beautiful coop and hope it’s served you, your family and your ladies (chickens) well! Pls keep building... pls show more footage 🤘🏽

    @bradsimpson8724 4 роки тому +3

    A trick I learned: run a 24-30-inch apron of hardware cloth on the ground around the coop and stake down the edges. It'll go a long way to keeping foxes/raccoons/whatever other predators you have locally from digging under the frame and snacking on your birds/eggs.

    RE that was an awesome video. I am writing from the Big Island on a ranch. We have 25 acres and our chickens are free-range. The flock is getting older and I would like to start another flock, smaller for myself. The other group are my sisters. This coop is awesome. I may take me 10 years but I never back away from a challenge. Mahalo from Hawaii

Thanks for the inspiration, it's a good looking and functional chicken coop, keep with the awesome work, best regards from Italy.

    Cool coop! As long as no raccoons come to raid the coop by opening the latches and no skunks or groundhogs dig in you're set for a long time. You could also tarp some of the sides for a snowy/frigid winter if needed. Your birds don't even have to put up with rain on their backs. That thing looks like it will last many generations of chickens.

    Amazing coop! People need to understand that it's not just a chicken coop, but also a structure that you have to look at in your yard. So there's no such thing as "overkill". If you can afford it, have the means to build it, & you had fun doing it, then I say why not!.

    @brookekathryn1980 4 роки тому +2

    Built this last year and turned it into a cat house. They have a tunnel from the house to the coop. The coop is on a concrete paver patio we stained the same color. It offers a great retreat without threat of predators. Added some lightly burned maple shelves cut it in urethane and a second hole as a peach for them. Then just put in a modern outdoor loveseat, a rug, some 12x12 pillows into the nesting boxes and shelves inside the roost. A few pull threw gate latches and some live plants. It just makes the back yard pop and gives the little guys a place where we can all lounge and hang out outside under the shade giant elm and catch a cool breeze.

    Love the look and sturdiness. We have acres and want to roll our coop around to new areas. Think the birds will be happy and keep it sanitary, maybe even fertilize those areas. If you would put your talents to that upgrade. I've seen an idea I also like, a solar powered bug zapper for fresh bugs for the birds. Sounds good to me.

    The number 1 chicken coup on UA-cam is the one that moved itself around the yard. Nothing came close after I saw that. That's as close to free range as you can get without compromising the predator risk. Chicken housing of the future should build on that concept. The coup should move itself at set interval.

Put big rock around it too . Good you used smaller wire to keep the worst thing out. Damn Weasels. I raised tons of Chickens.

    Hi
    it was a beautiful and well-worked house. I have 2 questions;
    1- Why did you prepare 3 sections for 6 chickens? Shouldn't there be 6?
    2- I planned to make this set. but we use metric system. therefore, different values come out when the unit translation is done. such as 139 inch 3.5203 m and 1.7018 m. such precise cutting may not be possible. Can I learn the corrected metric values, if any, to avoid errors? Because if I enter a measure difference, the whole structure will be an error. Or should I just do it? for example; 3.52 or 3.53 instead of 3.5203 m? 7/8 inches equals 2.2225 cm. here is 2.22 or 2.23? like.
    Thank you from now.

    Roosts should be 4" wide. Hardware cloth should be buried 6" under ground to guard against burrowing predators. The dark paint is "cool" but it will absorb too much heat. The girls will get overheated while trying to lay.

    Im going to get my chickens in roughly 4 months and I'm beginning to worry if I have researched enough for me to be a good owner. If any chicken owners wouldn't mind, could y'all share any tips? Thanks

    We're going to be making a similar style coop...just a bit bigger. Love the lap siding! What color paint did y'all use? Looks great!!

    Hey just found you guys. I’m new to building and was just wondering what materials you used to build the roof part of the run. I’m looking not to make it too complicated and decided on building a lean roof but still don’t know what materials would deter rain (birds have a separate home for winter) from getting inside the coop. Do you think a plywood as the base and then just putting some plastic roof panels would be good enough for them just to lounge around during summer months? Thanks!

    A good coop but you're such a lucky man for having a supportive wife.

    Constructive tip. I love the project and the production, but those 1 second clip skips gave me a headache. I had to skip to the end. Would have loved to watch, but it was driving me crazy.
    Turned out nice though.
