    • @stevelux9854
      @stevelux9854 3 роки тому +3

      Carabiners are the way to go for the small varmints. However, when it comes to bears there really isn't much you can do without spending many thousands on the coop.
      Should have turned the grain the other way on the lids. Those slots being horizontal will hold water/snow/ice and tree debris and will rot faster. Or, just add extra coats of sealant to help them to last longer.

    We are having freezing temps here is South Louisiana, I have Bantams that are older but they love to set eggs. My barnfelders are much larger and friendly giants with sweet temperment and lots of feathers and lay big brown eggs. My Barnfelders do not cackle. I live in the city so cannot have a rooster But no worry because if I do not go check the coop when I hear the Older Bantams cackle then I will find a Bantam keeping the eggs warm. Enjoy your hens and I love your big coop and that hard working man. My Mr. Honey and I made a life time commitment 57 years ago. Blessings to you all from South Louisiana.

    We live in the Carpathian Mountains and have some viciously cold days and nights. Our chickens need protection from wind. We covered the bottom two feet of the walls of their run with plexiglas sheeting. Without it, their just hang out in the coop and refuse to even come out to eat and drink. We also put a tarpaulin on the north side of their coop for the three main winter months. Chickens are cold resistant, but they cope badly with harsh winds. I like the small door for you have for their coop - it will keep them draft-free. Another point, put some fairly large tree branches inside the run, something like the top of a small tree with branches going in every direction. Chickens need entertainment - they will thoroughly enjoy different level branches as perches to jump on and off (and also escape from a bully). A simple floor isn't enough.

    A great response with regards to the protection. Since November I’ve gone on my own journey. Diagnosed suddenly with an aggressive abdominal cancer with 2-12 month prognosis. Quickly given palliative chemo which worked surprisingly well. Not only reduced pain and shrank tumours but was so good radiation was an option. Got thru 25 treatments with fewer side effects than they expected. Latest CT scan doesn’t show any cancer. It hasn’t even spread. So while I’m recovering I’m enjoying your journey.

    We just moved back to the U.S. after being stationed in Germany for 3 years, let me tell you how much we miss the food and drinks! I never realized how boring our food/snack and drink choices really are here in the states compared to other countries. We actually got to take our kids to the Haribo outlet store, the variety and amount of different Haribo gummy products was ridiculous!

    That is the prettiest and most practical chicken coop I've ever seen. The chickens will love it. It looks like a play fort and cabin for the children. Make certain the latches on the coop doors fasten tightly because the raccoons will be able to open them if they fit loosely.

    Looks so great guys. Others have commented on the use of insulation. We decided, after a couple of years without insulation, to insulate the coop part and the eggs box part. Glad we did. Less frozen eggs and warmer chickens. We get a few new chicks every year in may or june so that we have eggs all winter. They will lay even if it's real cold when they are young. One other thing we did that might be a help, adding a couple sheets of siding or something like corrugated roofing, to the walls of the run, to the ground. We figured out which sides our wind comes from and it also located so it helps give them some shade from the hot afternoon sun. Makes a bit of an area that is protected from blowing snow etc.
