    Hi April,
    A father and daughter BIG THANK YOU.
    Just wanted to let you know i got a chance to watch a few of your videos months ago.
    I showed my daughter your you tube channel and she was amazed on the cool stuff you work on. She now got the bug and is picking up my tools to work on some of her projects.
    Funny, she worked with me when she was younger but didn't like to get dirty, LOL.... Now that she is older that doesn't bother her. She likes the power tools and the smile at the end of her projects is priceless.
    One day she will tackle some of those bigger project. It's fun working with her again.
    We will be watching your future projects.
    Again, A BIG THANK YOU.....

    Nice project, and better handy work. It is heartwarming to see that we still have people like you in our country: You wanted eggs, you built a chicken coop... And you did it all with a beautiful smile. That's the American spirit!!! Loved your video.

      Also appreciate that she doesn't start off with irritating music. Videos are short and get right to the point and everything about the build is covered. Been enjoying her videos since about the time she started.

    April, I love it when you make mistakes because it proves that a PRO. like you is still human like us!!!!!! You are also so cute when you make mistakes!!! Wink... I only wish I could do what you do with wood & I wouldn't get "guff" from my husband when I ask for any building. I sew & I continue to make mistakes after 40+ yrs, I have a lot of opportunities to fix my mistakes. Great advice you gave on not giving up on doing it over!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing another great video!!!!!Take care!

    We purchased the plans a few weeks ago and are just finishing our coop. We made ours 4x8 instead of 4x5. For easier cleaning and so that the plywood won't absorb the poop smell, we put linoleum on the deck of the floor before putting the walls on top and also put it on the bottom of the nesting boxes before installing the dividers. We also put our mesh on the inside of the window opening instead of the outside so that we could close the windows without crawling into the coop. Other than those few changes, the coop looks pretty darn good. Also, a good addition to the plans would be placing the cut letters on the diagram instead of or in addition to using color. The colors are too close in shade and the flipping back and forth was aggravating. We had to spend a few hours prepping the plans before starting our project. We previously built "the palace" coop and have used that for many years but we wanted a second smaller coop closer to the house. Thank you for this cute plan. You are a very talented crafter.

    So much fun. I considered getting chickens (which has never been a thought that I've had) so that I'd have an excuse to build a coop while watching this series. Whether I get some chickens or not - it's always fun to appreciate the craft! Turned out great, excellent coop

  • @jlaurcrocker
    @jlaurcrocker 4 роки тому

    Lots of great ideas! I raised 12 chickens and had a coop repurposed from an tool shed. The cleaning aspect is so important and i loved the removable roost bar idea, and the easy access door in the back, as well as the hinged laying box top. Major kuddos for a well thought out design and awesome finished product! Keep up the great work!

    Great job. I built a cool for my Mom and kids. Started with 12 chickens, now 7. That's plenty. Watch for the hawks,raccoons,foxes and the other varmints, they like chickens also. Nothing beats fresh eggs plus their fun to watch.

    Fabulous video and information April, thank you. I have been debating for sometime about getting hens and have been avidly reading up on how to care for them. Your coop is brilliant and i have just purchased the plans for it. I will also be building a run as we have foxes and sparrow hawks a plenty. I've also purchased the Shaded Dog Pool Plans, i don't have a dog but i am going to make it as a gift for a friend. I don't have all the tools just a hammer, screw driver, chop saw and drill but as long as they do the job i don't mind it taking a little long. Thank you for the inspiration. Best regards Jo.

    If you make another coop, you might want to get some sheet vinyl and cover the "floor" with it, before adding walls. Caulk at bottom of walls after makes it a breeze to clean

About the mistake, in quilting they call it a "God Square" showing that humans are not perfect and we all make mistakes. Have to coin a term for when carpenters make a mistake as well.

    I had to make a run for my chickens, The coyotes would come out of the creek bottom and snatch one and run. I live in close to Houston, on 9 acres. Also, another reason for the enclosed run is to keep chickens off the back porch, where they eat all the dry cat food. But, you'll learn all this extra stuff. Great build.
