- Hey everyone, I built this chicken coop back in September. I really enjoyed building the coop and have enjoyed raising chickens so far. I have tried to go step by step in the building process so that you all can see and DIY. Sorry I missed a few steps there at the end, I had gotten in a hurry finish before I had to go work. Hope you all enjoy and if there are any question just leave a comment. Also, for more infomation about chickens visit www.backyardchickens.com
I am getting started a little late. Building my first coop 2022. My chicks will be here in 3 weeks. I am using pallet wood which I am sanding after pulling it off the pallets. Lots of time and energy. My 3 grandkids have already named their future chicks sight unseen. The 2 oldest are helping pull boards and pull out nails. Great fun for all!!! 😄 I am 70. My husband passed away 5 months ago. Keeping busy helps!!
Dude - great project. Really nice work and design. You can catch water off the roof, easily collect eggs, hopefully easily clean out the bedding area. Very cool.
I know that everyone is a critic but I'll tell you something, That's a really nice looking chicken coup or hen house which ever is the correct term. Very nice work indeed. And you'll have something to look at and use for a very long time and the birds will have a very nice and comfortable and 'safe' place to live and sleep at night no matter what the weather is. BRAVO young man.
Man I've got to tell you that this is one "Snazzy" chicken coop. I was online looking for some different ideas to incorporate into building a pigeon loft but upon seeing this video, I was really impressed. You did a super job. I'm moving to Alaska in a couple of months and I'm going to be flying pigeons up there, but after seeing this vid, I'm going to be having some chickens as well. There's NOTHING like fresh eggs right out of your own coop.
You should get the award for nicest chicken coop. I like all that you did and it has given me many ideas of what to do. Thanks for taking the time to share this with us.
Everything you have done (well thought out too) is absolutely perfect, son.
It didn't really break the bank and the end results are a small part next to the self satisfaction...with a smile that'll last a lifetime.
Love the self latching cams on the sliding door. Very ingenious!
What do these cams do? do they lock the door so the chickens can't open it? i'm building a coop and wondering if i need this too? thanks!
They lock the door from the inside so it can't be pushed up by any predators from the outside, other doors just rely on the weight to keep any predators from pushing the door up.
I knew nothing about how to build a coop, but thankfully Coopodoit makes it simple. Search for coopdoit on yt.
I built a variation on your coop design. Worked out wonderful. I used metal sheeting on the bottom instead. Thanks for posting this on UA-cam. It helped alot.
You have some lucky chickens! All your wood building skills are evident here. Great design, and innovative tricks. I'm going to make sure my chickens don't see this...they would never look at me the same.
Wow, this is the best chicken coop, you chickens are going to be very happy.
AWESOME job on the coop! Beautiful!
Nice little house. I love that door with a locks
Thanks for taking the time to show this. I am thinking about taking this on and getting some chickens. Love the way you talk.
great job on the coop & run- thank you for sharing your work.
Very informative and nice to have commentary along with some great tips and Wisdom. I especially like the sliding door at the end. With the two locking connectors on the door at the end... Awesome.Thanks So much
Really nice...step by step video. Very Nice! Thanks for sharing it!
I love this coop I would definietly base my coop off this one if I could get chickens
Finally someone who know about some framing. Good job!
AW rocks...such a pleasure learning from you.👏🏼👏🏼
That is one nice coop. Good job.
You built yourself a great-looking chicken house you have a reason to be proud. Thanks for sharing this on UA-cam I am following you now and hope to see many other videos. Take care buddy.
I made the vertically sliding door for my coop as well, but I loved the way you made it "lock", great design man!
as a builder for 40 plus years, you did a nice job bud.
I liked your design so much. I build mine close to yours not as long but was able to build it from all my scrap wood that we had in the yard and finding material from Craigslist ✌🏻️👍
Great attention to detail. Best video I have seen by far
Great Coop! Very impressed with your plans and workmanship.
thanks, my daughter watched this and said" see how easy it is dad" now I am on my way to buy lumber.......
Mike Wilcox lol
This is just superb, I have been researching "large chicken house designs" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Machaaldity Coop Blaster - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my partner got cool results with it.
Good Job, as long as it works and the Chickens lay eggs, that's all that matters
Awesome coop! You make it look easy.
My husband is building a chicken coop. Hope it turns out as nice as yours! Great job.
Really nice job. Will look at this again before I begin mine. Having the brick under the frame should help keep out the Fox.
Just wanted to thank you for posting this, my daughter and I are thinking of building our own chicken coop but I have never built anything so did not really know where to start of what to do. I thank YHWH and YAHSHUA (Jesus) for this video and others like it. Really , really helpful to get a direction and understand how everything is put together. Thanks so much and G-d bless you.
Excellent job ..some people are so handy..I wish I could do this..perhaps if I had plans I could
great minds think alike, this is a similar design i came up with for our coop. i looked at several different ideas and this style seemed very functional, solid and easy to build. we just had severe stroms and high winds the last few days that dropped some trees, but my coop has done just fine.
i do see some things on yours that i really like...
having both sides of the roost open is very nice
and roofing panels instead of singles also has advantages for less cost
btw i love the locking mechanism for the roost door... i may add that to my door.
Turned out pretty nice, Good job.
Great job! Nice to see the step by step - Shop class was a long time ago. Thanks!
Here in Chile we have Mink here so we have to line everything with wire mesh hardware cloth or your birds are dead. I have to build one of these soon but I am going to build a temporary one until we have our farm set up. Nice coop and I like your design.
hey ,if anyone else wants to uncover chicken coop building plans pdf try Wondsting Coop Builder Wiki (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my work buddy got great results with it.
Nice job on the coop. A lot of helping info when webuild ours.
Awesome I'm building my parents this chicken coop and run for xmas! :D thank you!
You did such a beautiful job on this. It's far better than any kit or prefab coop I've seen. I wish I had your skills... or better yet, I wish my son had your skills! :) I'm going to see if you have any videos posted with chickens living in the coop cause i bet they will love it! Anyway, just wanted you to get some kudos on the job you did designing and building your chicken coop!
What a great job. I could almost live in your chicken coop! You've given me some good ideas too. Congratulations.
I must complement you on this job man. You're an artist with wood. Thanks for the video. I'll see if I can do something like this myself some day
love that chicken coop! I don't have too much SPACE.....I guess I wll do mine half the size of yours.
Very nice! Sound like a real nice guy, enjoyed listening to you build your coop. Good luck with your chicken adventure. :)
Really nice work! I'm working on building mine, but I can tell you that your skill is superior to mine. LOVE your sliding chicken door!
Wow, that is some seriously beefy lumber. I like some of the detail, but wish there was some information on that locking system you used on the pop door. That looks pretty ingenious.
(Odd comment but all in admiration to your craftsmanship ) I wish you were my neighbor!
Great job, Well crafted.
I enjoyed watching your video, looks great and I learn a lot, thx for posting it.
love you design, your work and ingenuity looking forward to see how you coop fare in the winter.
looking to make one. i really like your coop and video is nicely done. great job.
Awesome little chicken coop......
Great job on the coop. I am getting ready to embark on my third coop...this will be the smallest yet, 4x4 with a small run. I will let the free range after garden season. Great detail, how did you build the locking mechanism for the chicken door?
This is an amazing chicken coop! I envy your craftsmanship. What was your total cost and total time that it took for you to do your project start to finish?
This is EXACTLY what I would like to build. Kudos on a beautiful job!
That is an awesome coop! I'm getting ready to build one. I think I'll follow your design great work.
Thats a great build brother, gonna try and build one soon too
*Very interesting and helpful video! I really like it!*

Hey, do you happen to have a break down list of materials used for this project? My husband and I are going to attempt this. Please and thank you!!!
Were curious about the bedding you used in there. What are your (you all's) thoughts about hemp chicken bedding vs. other chicken beddings like pine (wood) shavings, straw, or sawdust? Hemp can control odor and dust more than conventional materials, and last longer.
Do you have basic demotions, I know the base 6'x12' but height and roof pitch etc.
Did it take very long to build the whole thing?
Great video. Thanks for posting
How many chickens will fit and what was your final Cost? If you don't mind me asking?
Yours is the guide for me. Too much cutesy stuff on here and yours is "real person" and not a plan to buy. I was going to build a regular peaked roof but the eureka! of the day was a plain slanted roof - thanks! Like someone commented I noticed the roof not hanging over and I need that because here in Florida it rains like hell. Awful windy too, so I'll have to anchor everything to the concrete somehow. Thank you so much for the inspiration - what a great video.
that is a great looking coop! How much money did you pay total and how many chickens can you get in it?
Do you have a varmint problem at all? I live in a fairly rural area. I used to have free range birds, however, I attracted all kinds of carnivore....not good around my youngn's. So, I 86'xt my birds.
Now, 5 youngn's and 6 years later, we eat eggs by the dozen. I miss my birds. Will using your foundation keep out varmints?...besides running out in the black of night and firing as if WWIII?
Very nice!!! Good job. Thank you
What a great job you did! 2.14.1
Impressive work! And that southern accent of yours... I could listen to it all day. ;-)
Great Job!
GREAT JOB!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!
Awesome job, now you can build mine. If only ha
You make it seem so easy. Thanks!
Awesome video, what was total estimated build cost?
how many chickens you plan to house? looks great and thanks for the guide this helps
nice job bud, very clean lines, and framed well. hope you got that puppy secured to the foundation in case of a heavy blow!! but very nice!!
Great video. I was encouraged that you just went with the flow. Insulation blowing all over, plywood not straight. Hens don't really care do they?? Keep it up and thanks for posting.
Man that is a sweet coop!! Did you build off a plan or just wing it? Roughly how much did you end up having into it? Great work!!!! Subscribed
You've got skills, brother!
Really nice job, I'm hoping my summer cabin is going to turn out as nice as your coop. Did you post the cost?
Very nice job!
Are you concerned about wind lifting up the shingles? I am about to build my own chicken run based on your plans.
if the doors are a bit bigger I could use it for my summer house ;))looks very nice!
Nice coup. I'm gonna build mine, just like yours.
You are very handy, good job !!!
how much do you think that will cost???????because my dad wants to build a new chicken coop for our chickens
That's a beautiful piece of work. My house is not built nearly that well.
Really nice job on the coop. I'm getting ready to build my own but weather has been crappy
how did you design that chicken door? does it lock itself until you pull the rope?
You should have let the roof hang over a bit, that way rain won't get to the wood underneath (which is now aligned with the edge of the roof) but would guide the rain away from the wood. Otherwise: NICE! This is exactly what I'm looking for to build myself.
Cheers.
+TheOpelkoenjas agreed. no need to invite rot of your facia lumber.
just to add, if you know someone with an aluminum brake, ask them to bend you a piece you can slide under your roof metal and nail to the ends of your rafters for an inexpensive late game fix. This will keep blown rain off of your rafter ends too.You can get it in 'musket brown' to match your coop.
Great job!!!! Thanks for posting!
Did you ever write up plans and a cut list? How about dimensions? Looks real nice!
Love your coop. I would add metal bracket around corner walls of nest box another video showed how a raccoon ripped off the nest sidewall didn't think possible. So he strengthened it with wrap around bracket
Nice coop. How is it holding up?
Great video dude. Anything that you regret, design-wise?
Really nice job, but have to wonder about there being no overhang at the rear.
really liked your video !!
Great coop
It's a lot of fun designing and building chicken coops. Yours came out great! Seems like we're always tweaking and adjusting the way they perform to make having chickens more enjoyable. If you get a minute check out mine!
