    great job! my only suggestion to those who would try and build this coop is to have the chicken wire buried 4-6 inches in the ground all the way around the coop foundation or your feathery little friends will dig themselves out! Chickens are very determined to find a way out!

    • @LivingSmallAndLovingLarge
      @LivingSmallAndLovingLarge  3 роки тому +8

      We have had these up for a few years now and have no trouble with them digging out. We also let them out during the day.

      I like this but i do think wire on the bottom is a good idea to keep predators from digging under tne tin

      We have never had our chickens to dig out. We free range them during the day and they only go up at night.

    Been looking for a way to use some old tin to build a coop and this is a perfect way for me to recycle some of it. I can make a larger coop for way less money. Thanks for sharing this simple build for someone with no building skills like me. 63 year old female . I can do this. ✌

    nothing like a full 8 minutes of the same soothing, generic, country jingle you would hear in the background of any local furniture sales tv commercial from 1998. with a little random hammering blended over top. Exactly the instructional I was looking for. I understood every word. I'm kidding to an extent but..nice work with salvaging the metal roof and materials. Also, this coop looks like something you'd see in the rural countryside on Grand theft auto.

    I have physical limitations. I don’t know how I would lift and carry these things and to affix a roof on top. Other than that this looks simple enough to do. Maybe I can use pallets instead and to not make mine so high where I will need a ladder or something. I really needed to see your way of doing this. I want to see more from you. Thank you for this video.

      Thanks for the idea. These have been up for almost 4 years now and we have never had any problems with predators getting inside. Also we have a farm cat that keeps the rats gone so we have never had an issue with them either.
