    Thank you guys for supporting and watching the video!
    A few things!
    1) the roof has more support then what is seen in this video
    2) I did use okay sand but since it has been switched to construction sand for the dust bath areas
    3) used chicken wire because this isn’t their main protection just to keep the chickens inside it during the winter
    Thanks again you guys are the best🐥😁

    Very cool. The only problem I see is rats learning of the compost and they easily squeeze thru 1" chicken wire. I made a mistake not using hardware cloth and have a problem with rats....they come at dusk and dawn to clean up the mess under auto feeders.

    This is a lovely scratching area for the chicks. Their house is so cosy. The trees are brilliant for them to see out and have some exercise. Are the wire holes around the compost a bit small for their beaks i wonder. Overall you built a lovely place fot your chickens. One thing only..if they are used to their foraging in the yard they will miss that so much. Thanks for sharing..great ideas here for everyone❤

    What a nice run. I have 100' of electric (but never turned on) fencing around my run, and also put up a bunch of large tree limbs like you did. They love the limbs and used them all the time. Finally, at the end of the vid you started looking at the lens. Appreciate it when TYers do that. Makes me feel like you're actually talking to me.🙂 My coop has a tin roof, but was planning on replacing it with that stuff like you used.

    @DontDoDaylight 8 місяців тому +10

    Fantastic work, man! I didn’t think about putting metal on the bottom to protect from wind. I hope that I soon will have the courage to build a nice run like this! I’ll be watching your rain system video soon. It’s awesome how this all works as a system, with proper planning (re-purposing fallen trees, using old bedding as compost, etc). This style of run looks so simple yet I fear failing at creating a similar design. I really need to get over that fear along with the fear of other things as a new/first-time homeowner. Right now, I feel like my skill level is basically just enough to make a hoop coop lol. Just have to embrace the learning experience!
    The compost food tower is another great idea and I really like the dust baths. My backyard is almost all dirt/rocks, so I’m researching which bedding would be best. The mulch seems like it’s working well with you! Very cool how the chickens can go under the coop. Great job and for what it’s worth, I really appreciate seeing a good dad. That’s awesome. I can tell you’re a great dad.
    PS
    I did just level out some ground and put in 2 raised garden beds! Can’t wait to give those a shot.
