DiResta's Cut: Chicken Coop
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 тра 2016
- Here’s a problem we didn’t expect Jimmy DiResta to have: Needing to house fast-growing chickens. The chicks he and girlfriend Taylor recently acquired to populate their upstate farm have rapidly grown into chickens, and they’re getting too big to live in the house. Solution? Build them a chicken coop.
A predator-proof chicken coop, naturally. The flightless birds will require a fox-proof dwelling, so Taylor designs one, then Jimmy builds it, using a time-saving stacking method to keep the framing square. (By the bye if you’re wondering why the camera angle looks odd when he’s up on the roof, it’s because with both hands occupied, Jimmy had to hold the camera in his mouth.) - Навчання та стиль
Another great video, nice job on the coup. Mr Diresta you've got a great girl, she welds, not afraid to get dirty, build stuff and shes cute. Good girls are hard to come by, she's a keeper! I was lucky enough to have a great girl for 31yrs before she passed from brain cancer, she made my life infinitely better and great sons. Enjoy every day with her. Keep the videos coming, my older son got me started watching them, you make it all look easy. Thank you.
Great video Jimmy, love to watch all your stuff and fill that in with the podcast! You're always an inspiration!
Got a nice chuckle from your observation that on the last piece you have figured out what you should have been doing all along. It's heartening to know that others have the same experience.
Your outdoor construction videos never get old with your great shots and camera angles! Great stuff!
Great video Jimmy - I'm about to start a coop myself, so it was great to see what you've done. I would highly recommend a board under your roosts/perch as the chickens will crap there often and it's easier to scrape a board than to constantly replace bedding. We try to keep things real clean and the droppings board has helped immensely. Thanks again for the video - I enjoyed it!
Absolutely amazing man!!!! So cool Taylor visioned and helped build it!! You always do such great work!!! Ty for sharing!!
I came across this video and thought, "huh, 8.1 million views, let's see what they got." I was not disappointed! Such a great build! Thank you for the motivation!
Cool to see you and Taylor working on a project together. Thanks for sharing!
I am a HUGE Diresta fan, but especially LOVE these narrated vids. PLEASE keep em' coming!
Great build as usual. It's clear you got as much of a kick out of "hardware cloth" as I did.
The stuff you put on the roof of the run is what we call chicken wire. The reason that it is cheaper than hardware cloth is because there are no welds (and a lighter gauge wire).. It is just twisted. The welds seem to give out early outside anyway because the weld makes it more suseptible to rust. (if it isn't one thing, its another). If you put this stuff they call Gator Skin around the perimeter at the ground level, and let it extend about a foot above the soil, the structure will last a lot longer. It is a really tough plastic that forms a durable moisture barrier. Mud and chicken shit splatters up when it rains and it can rot faster than you think. Just rip a 1x4 down the middle with a 45 degree angle on one edge to finish off the top edge. If you spade the run once in a while, some of the seeds they missed will sprout and they will eat that grass, too. I love chickens. Especially with garlic sauce.
Think we need a diresta and camerata collaboration
I'm holding out for a DiResta weather vane. You gotta. You gotta do it.
Another great build, the 12+ minutes whizzed by. Cheers Jimmy!

Amazing as always Jimmy, I love how you keep things simple but make them awesome at the same time! Big Fan from Scotland
I like your work.You make me happy ! Positive energy !
This is precisely what all of your videos need....more Taylor!
That is a GREAT video! My wife is obsessed with having chickens and now she is bugging me to try and duplicate what you created. Lol. Thank you very much for sharing.
Jimmy I like the commentary you provide for these videos.
Love it! Amazing job as usual!!
Amazing, I am going to be building a shed and this gave great insight on how to do some light framing!
Just in love with this kind of work, audio comments are like the job, brief but sharp, very smart. a million thanks for all the inspiration you give us, Mr Diresta, the best for decades ^^
looks good! i built a 10X12 shed very similar in my yard with the same 2x4 roof. it's been fine - even with the rough winters we've had.

So are you saying if you didn't have guests, the chickens would continue to stay inside your house? :P
Good job. Very good video well done. You take care Michael from Australia.
Idyllic. Beautiful. Fun. Great video Jimmy!
I hope you both get many healthful breakfasts from the "crew."
One of the simplest chicken coops I have seen. Going to steal the idea.
I use the Paslode nail guns a lot on some jobs, apparently the gas is propelled from a rubber balloon inside the canisters, when the canisters go out of date the rubber balloons perish and loose the elasticity = ballache.

I used to be horrible at building chicken coops. I used to pay a fortune for them too! I no longer suffer from those problems anymore. Here's a great guide for building affordable chicken coops: ChickCoop.xyz
Hey jimmy, when you make the nesting boxes, cut a hole in the wall and mount them on the outside with a hinged lid. That way you can collect the eggs without having to go inside the coop and get chicken crap in your crocs.
great idea to build the wall superimposed on each other...
Nice honest build. Great work.
Great Work on the Chicken House/Run! I keep chickens (about 30 right now) 1 idea ... I think you are going to want to raise your perches up at least 18 inches off the floor. It gives you more flexibility as to how and where you put your laying boxes. Most experts say perches should be much higher than the laying boxes. and chickens love really high perches - even up to the ceiling. In fact my chickens all crowd up on the top 2 perches or roosts. Now that they are full size some of the lower ranking chickens are having to use the 3rd row down. :)
Hey Jimmy, love your videos. I got a great tip from my grandfather when building my chicken coop - use a garden fork to tension the square mesh as you fix it off. Just stick it in the mesh and lever against the framing member. my whole coop is tight as a drum.
Hey Mate, Great work.
One of the better Chicken Coup videos on here.
Nice coop. We did something similar a few years back, I just did a shingle roof and siding to match our house.
One thing we have learned is the chickens overwinter just fine, as long as there is good ventilation. No heat necessary.
Keeping their water from freezing... well that's a pain in the arse :)
Have fun!
nice thank you for sharing.
you can train chickens to follow you with old bakery bread.
they love and need greens [weeds]
good luck with then.
This makes me want to build a chicken coop, and I don't even own any chickens.
you can buy froze one from kaufland and trow in it
thanks! Nice chicks🐔🐓
Congratulations! Beautiful place and great work.You are the best.
Great work! 👍
One thing that could be improved is giving yourself the option to move the cage on all three sides of the coop periodically.
Rotating the location of the cage would enable the grass to grow on the two sides that are not being used at any one time.
So the chicken would have a much cleaner, healthier out-coop area, and have green grass and vegetation to include in their diet.
The cheapest hardware cloths I found, I got a few days ago in Lowes. It was like $19 for tex feet x 30 inches. Ive been using it for years for chickens and rabbit cages. Think of a good system for watering the chickens. I just built a 4 inch PVC system thats gravity fed and had auto filling poultry cups that I got on Amazon pretty cheap/ One thing I wold have suggested was the roof, if you could put something that lets light through, it would help a lot plus help keep it a little warmer in the winter. Try aruchana chickens, they lay blue eggs!
I really like it. My mom would love something like this. Great work!
This is awesome! Not just the building part but also the narration is interesting.
What about damp? Won't the base of the wood rot over time?
great video. finally my favorite carpenter builds something I've built. thank you for the videos
Nice project. the man works the woman looks at :)
Jimmy Diresta is one of those people who can make chicken coop construction actually interesting to watch.
"Hardware cloth" is the wire mesh with square openings, welded or soldered at each corner. "Chicken wire" is the hexagonal spaced wire that is twisted into a "wire cloth".
rstevewarmorycom Often you may see what you call chicken wire, is also called chicken netting.
It's a serious correction because chicken wire can easily be ripped through. Netting is usually only for birds of prey overhead as a protection. I imagine critters can get through it like raccoons even on a roof. Always use hardware cloth. 1/2"
@@jessicamcneice5791 Thats' true, but used heavy duty hardware cloth with only 1/2 inch openings.. I'm not a Spring chicken at 60+, but I can rip the lightweight hardware cloth (metal mesh) like paper with are hands.
There's a cool and inexpensive fencing we use inside a fenced in 50' x 50' area. I use the plastic deer netting and I can easily move it for their enjoyment and not need a chicken tractor as this temp run always open into the smaller permanent run with their coops.
It doesn't seem all that fool proof to me either but it seems to work. Maybe double layering could help even more. I am about to buy one , and they all have hardware cloth.

Great build Jimmy! I know its not your style but on larger builds like this I think it would be cool if you turned the project in to a series of videos because and showed a bit more detail. Ive never used a nail gun or did any framing and would like to hear explain them. I learn a lot from watching your work. Thanks for the vid!
Nice build... Thanks for sharing!
Great build you did there, very nicely utilized
Nice job as usual Jimmy.
Roofing tip: Take a foam pad up with you .It helps keep traction and protects you from the heat of the roof.
His camo crocs could always double as foam pads. ha!
Im not sure if you can get them in the US, but in Australia every second house is roofed in corrugated iron and roofers wear sand shoes called Dunlop Volleys. They'll easily grip a 30deg roof.
+thermmaloverload I will look into those. Have a great day.
i think most athletic stores carry them. used for rock climbing
garden shops sell them for knee pads for gardening
Beautiful work as usual Jimmy.
thanks for your time and good job
Really enjoying these more Architectural videos :)
It's not the Taj Mahalo man, it's a chicken coop. Besides, with that low of a pitch that would be a long seat cut and take alot of strength out of that 2x4...

I like it as Taj Mahalo.

Lucky Taylor to have such a good dude with fantastic woodworking skills! You rock!
Mind blown @ all the dislikes..must be people who can't do things for themselves..Great vid as always DiResta..
I built our coop out of a poorly made shed (on my property when purchased). it was built with no floor and it's really silty sand so not a great storage spot. I used the boards off of the deck and stairways I had to redo (insurance guy was mad we dropped full coverage on the cars and decided to do a home inspection) to save money. we had a drought her in the Midwest and I bought some chicken wire to section off the yard to seed grass so only needed on roll out of pocket. had some old gate hardware for the doors. I used limbs for perches and they love it with the natural edge. I had a crank out window from a remodel I did I put in with a fan I found. I used pallets on the floor as it's easier to clean in the winter due to freeze. I wrapped the pallets in rubber roof membrane. only out of pocket was the one roll I needed of chicken wire and I bought insulation as we had some frostbite on combs the first year even with heat lamps. I need to replace the roof and have some short cut steel building sheets I plan on using. found is always priced right. lol thanks Jim I have been a fan since you built the pool table years ago.

btw nice project
Whats a Forrest ???
Jimmy, heavy clear plastic on outside and inside window works great in winter, if you build a taller rost for them at night, you can build trays that go under the rost and put PDZ (an ammonia neutralizer that you can get from Tractor Supply stores) in the trays about 1-1 1/2 inch deep and the droppings will be very easy to clean up using a cat litter box scoop. This also keep the odor to a minimum. Great build as usual, TU for the videos.
So sturdy. Really awesome coop 👍❣️
Hope you add exterior NEST BOX to retrieve eggs, without entering the pen.
if your not careful. those chickens will be wanting custom made beds, an escalator , and a mirror ball for when you are not home. and of course they need your logo engraved into the door with gold ... love your work keep on and play hard.
And later on they will file for divorce and get away with everything.
Thank you sooooo much, I truly appreciate seeing this...
Professional build, thank you for sharing this video
I was gonna say Taylor has a good pair of legs until I realised they were yours! Good work on the coop, more work needed on the legs.
Where's Welder? You two complement each other, both very talented.
Great job. Love the design.
Love using rough sawn lumber for coop builds. 16" O.C. spanning the 8' you will be fine with metal roofing. You may run into problems with ice and snow build up on the chicken wire top. For the window all you need is some plexi if you want to keep it simple to keep the drafts out. Great Job, like the mix of the breeds of the chickens.
"Before I put it in place. I screwed it quite a bit." Diresta, you are my hero!

Amazing man. You put a lot of effort. Thumbs up 👍
the chickens are so cute! love your work!!!
Now you can design and build a movable coop you can move around with your tractor to fertilize your garden.
Why do chicken coops only have 2 doors?
If they had 4 doors, they'd be a chicken sedan... :D
Buh dum TSSSS!
Nice one
I think you ruin the joke with the spelling :P
Fixed!
YAY :D
Beautiful!!! Happy new year 2020
You did a great job. What a beautiful coop.
The girlfriend you talk of is she the same that sold leather and iron furniture?
yes
mike gager do you have a site I would like to have a look what she sells now.

nice video, very easy to make..
thanks a lot
awsome skills and unorthodox methods!
Honestly kind of surprised the GF doesn't have DiResta on her somewhere...
Maybe she does 👀👀🍑🍑
I foresee a tramp stamp DiResta tattoo in her future...

In all seriousness though, this build was really cool!
You never know, she might have a hidden tattoo somewhere ._.
Taylor has a butt.
The chickens have a better house than me.
Adoro a ideia! Parabéns por partilhar. Obrigado.
Great video, love all the details and narrative. Those chickens 🐓 will be very happy 😃
