I live where their is snow. I build my chicken coops the same way. But when the winter is coming I wrap a plastic tarp all the way around. It works good. On the roost, I make it so it pivots at the top so then I pick up the lower end and hook it to the ceiling for easier cleaning the floor underneath the roost.
God bless you doctor for the video,it's so inspirational. I am watching from the English speaking region of Cameroon. I'm recently engaged in this paultry and started w 30 chicks .But some r dying but i can't be discourage.I wish to extend it to a bigger farm to feed the hungry population. I pray God gives me helpers to boost my paultry farming
in urban setup and just began with 40 improve chicks after watching your documentaries,,, unfortunately i lost several and others seems to be blind... this wont stop me will continue
Am about to spend some good money on poultry is because of you I will take my time do organize my farming for now let me keep enjoying your channel is awesome what you do
I am so impress Dr. Daniel. I am in West Africa and is considering starting a poultry farm soon. I sometimes get discourage when I try thinking about how much I need to construct the poultry and not to speak of purchasing the birds. But thanks for this video, I think I can start with something much cheaper and upgrade as things get better. I tell you, you are good.
Wow. Well done Doc . Thank you for always giving us good training on sustainable poultry farming. Thanks for also inspiring me to open my UA-cam channel. I’m a young farm lady from Nigeria
I just learned that you can let the feed sit over night in water. It doubles in size. ;) Can you have someone gather restaurant scraps. Give the scraps to the chickens. What they don't eat turns to rich compost.. It should provide other vitamins they need for free or nearly free. Thoughts from Houston Tx.
If you use whole grains like rooster mix you can soak it three days to ferment the grains. This makes it more bioavailable. Need to check the cost in your area but rabbit food ( mainly alfalfa) can be soaked for a few minutes and added at the last minute to the fermented grains if you cannot grow enough leafy greens because it's winter, drought etc. I crush the egg shells and feed it back to the chickens'. I still give egg laying mix in the morning.
Chickens can also supplement their diet with rabbit droppings ( pre digested alfalfa). One suspends the rabbit hutches from the chicken coop rafters and the chickens forage below. One rabbit per hutch.
Oh wow. Planning of getting rabbits onto the farm. Maybe I'll be able to do that. Nice. And...my feeds are not while grains, they are milled to small pieces. Can that be fermented?
Daniel, iam so glad to discover you yesterday 15th July, 2022. We are to start a farm in a rural area to help the poor bcoz God sent us to start a ministry to win souls too. Our desire is to keep bigs, goats & village chickens & layers! Is this okey? Lusaka, Zambia.
Lovely simple design and sophisticated. I would have liked you to explain in more depth the thick woodchip mulch and metal sheeting around the walls for your followers that are just starting out. It's a very important cleanliness issue when chicken coops are near houses. Chicken droppings directly on dirt stinks and is a health hazard. Hang a slotted maggot bucket in the coop to clean up the few flies that maybe in the area. Flies love laying eggs in liver and the maggots can develop in compost and crawl out the slots. It can only be supplementary food in my area because we run out of flies. Your perches respect the pecking order. Having the coop that big allows it to be divided into two with a connecting door incase you want to have various roosters. If a gutter is attached to the roof and the rain water collected in a barrel covered with mosquito netting, one can have a handy water supply.
Ann I love your wisdom. Had completely not thought about the rain water. Will get a gutter so we keep more water. And we never have a problem with flies.
There are several components to doing a pro job. One plan I found which succeeds in merging these is the Coop Magic Tactic (google it if you're interested) without a doubt the most useful info i've seen. Check out this amazing website.
thank you so much, Dr. I have learned a lot from this simple project and am now able to come up with one of the same types. you are doing us a great job.
Hi Daniel, congratulations I am so proud of you my brother. I am following you since two yeasr now . I already to start my own but I would like to invite to kayunga to assistant my brothers and I for the training.
I Love your vedios you motivated us to start and stop procrastinating. We now have 45 of 16 weeks layer.we have place them in one of the rooms in our house as it is warm.our area is very cold especially that it's winter in our country now.i am worried about ventilation..I did build a chicken house like yours but I am afraid to put them in there because of cold temperature.
Hey Doctor you inspired me and I hope to start mine soon, I wanted to construct mine like that one and I want them to be in side as small poultry guide me about that thanx Dr.
Anna we live with tropical storms and cyclones - rain that comes at us horizontally. Wire is expensive and wouldn't slow the rain and wind anyway. So we used pallets (one on top of the other) for the full height of the wall and then nailed feed bags on the inside of the pallets. (Tarps that would withstand the wind are expensive here, but feed bags work great!) There's still loads of gaps so the rain and wind still gets in but not enough to bother them at all. Luckily the wind dries the floor soon after the rain stops so it's not a slushy mess for long. Good luck!
Dr. Daniel. I see you have the sides open with a metal skirt around the bottom. What is the purpose of this? You mentioned that the rain is not a problem and that the aeration throughout the structure is the most important thing. Where I live it dry for 6 months and then rainy season for 6 months. The rainy season starts off slow and then intensifies to monsoon for the last 1.5 months. Do you have seasons like this? Does your wood chip floor and your chickens stay dry when it rains very hard? How do keep your chickens healthy and from getting sick during the rainy season?
Love the freedom of African architecture :) and I bet your grandmother is loving not having the birds underfoot in the kitchen. She's blessed to have you!
@@FarmUp the internet is full of automated coop doors, fully enclosed houses with pretty paint and flower boxes - it's refreshing to see someone keeping it real on the internet.
Thanks dr absolute it's useful video. And it helped me so much bro I really like it how you built the chicken kub and it's ver chip. I just want to start poultry

Thanks doc, you never dissapoint😊how can one prevent stormy rains from getting in the coop?
By putting a shade, 2ft shade would be fine.

Hello Dr Daniel am very happy i found your UA-cam channel am very interested in poultry i was wondering if u can teach personally
Dr. Daniel. I see you have the sides open with a metal skirt around the bottom. What is the purpose of this? You mentioned that the rain is not a problem and that the aeration throughout the structure is the most important thing. Where I live it dry for 6 months and then rainy season for 6 months.

Awesome video!
hayi hayi Dr you make chicken project so easy
Thanks Dr. for sharing with us
I'm building one exactly like this
We love brother

Fantastic stuff, I am insanely inspired by your content.
So inspiring dia

Thanks dr absolute it's useful video. And it helped me so much bro I really like it how you built the chicken kub and it's ver chip. I just want to start poultry
Which app gives more knowledge for poultry farming practices
Thank you Daniel
very inspiring thank you
I love your video from Ethiopia🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
Thank you
Very nice chicken run.Everything I have is recycle too.Dr.Blessings
You did great brother, I like the plan and the idea. Soon I will build mine. Can you advice on locking the chickens day and night on the coop?
I like this cheapest coop bro
I love your videos though I started following recently but am really interested in poultry
Really educative
Sir please can you use it for intensive keeping of 200 layers? Sir please with this how many times do you have to change the wood shavings in a year?
How do you control water that may splash into the Poultry house during the rains. I like the simplicity in the construction here.
Interestingly, no water has gone in even with very heavy rains
So educative
How do you take care of windy rainstorms?
Very impressive. But where do they lay eggs?
Really practical chicken coop i really liked it, I wish I had it, you give great information
You can make it
That's great and thanks for updating me
Learned alot from your explanation 💯
