Our Popular American Coop - Only Bigger!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 чер 2024
- Carolina Coops best-selling chicken coop, the American Coop, is custom-made in an 8-foot width. The henhouse is 8' x 6' and the overall footprint is 8' x 24'. This walk-in coop is in Fredericksburg, VA and the customer had the ground prepared in advance, so the run-off water in the landscape would empty into a French drain and be carried away from the coop to mitigate any flooding in the run area.
This has all the standard features of our American Coop, except it is wider and longer. It also has a Dutch door, HDPE in the henhouse, custom roost bars made from cedar branches (on the owner's property), a heated poultry watering system with rain barrel, and two 5-gang egg hutches. The wider size makes this coop able to comfortably accommodate more chickens. And because the coop is wider it's also taller than an average American Coop and the inside henhouse window is split, which allow us to ship it flat anywhere in the world.

Rick D thank you. I know I take a risk saying that but I love watching UA-cam and I hate adds and click bait. I know people need to make a living at their videos so no offense to those people.
“No pop up ads”... the whole video is an ad for Carolina Coops... lol
Mac Daddy yes. But when you’re searching for a product and you get a 10 minute uninterrupted presentation, it’s more like a personal sales pitch, kinda nice.
Beautiful coop♥️🏆🐔🐔🐥🐣
Thank you Bonnie!

"UA-cam" chicken police LOL!!!!! I seriously laughed at that. This coop is amazing. I want something like it but BIGGER!

This is so professional
I did put hardware cloth all over the floor of my run, but it's covered in tons of sand (about 4 inches or more)so I have not had any problems with injured chicken feet.
Just subscribed ...love the no pop up ads
Thank you! We're glad you appreciate that!
Now that is a nice coop! Just subscribed.
Thank you! And thanks so much for subscribing.
very nice design I think I will adopt. one thing I do here in ontario canada EH! for our coops is a dew point insulation on the roof before steel goes on. this works really well to keep summer heat and winter cold from radiating down on the birds.
cheers
Thank you! The roofing we use also helps in doing that. Even with our black roofing, it does work to keep the hot summer heat out. Thanks for watching.
Loved it.
"Because I am not selling out to them"
😁
Wow I really love this. So do you guys come and do the install and everything? I live around the Lynchburg VA area.
We do offer turnkey services with our chicken coops. Please call us if you are interested in that. Thanks.
Chicken police !!! LMAO, I enjoyed this video in every way very educational. Great job.
great video and THANK YOU for no ads! they are so annoying
Thank you so much, we appreciate that!
Beautiful love it

Very nice it,s one of the best design i,ve seen here,,,love it i ,m going to make one of that kind.
So creative
Thank you. We are always innovating to create better coops for our customers and their chickens.
Nice chicken coop
$10.000 egg nest. Lovely
Classy!
Great chicken coop. Question, what is the screen made from? Thank you and looking forward to getting back into raising chickens.
If you are asking about our hardware cloth, it's black PVC coated .5 inch welded wire.
👏👏👏👏
Beautiful!
Aqui no brasil se torna completamente inviável construir qualquer coisa em madeira pois o preço é exorbitante!
Lamentável viver em um país falido.
😤
I think a very good idea would be good insulation in the ceiling, both for cold and heat.
Our roofing keeps out the extreme temperatures, especially the heat. Chickens are not bothered by the cold temps as they are on the hot sun beating down on them. We find insulation isn't necessary for chicken coops.
At 5:17 can there be an add on overhang that can be let down to keep the poo and ickie off the hinges and allows for a wheel barrel to be placed under it for easy take away?
Increíble, excelente higiene y seguridad para las gallinas, todos los espacios muy bien aprocheados y además el diseño en fantastico!!!!

che, por que tan bruto? esto es en ingles boludo
All of your coops are so beautiful! But I was wondering if any of them had ever been bear-tested? The hardware cloth just seems to be stapled in place from the inside (I believe this is standard), could the staples withstand a bear trying to push its way into the run? I am hoping to start keeping chickens this year, and yes, I live in bear country!
one layer of high voltage wire will train bobo straight away lol

awesome. Thanks!
Hey there! I really like the detail that went into this coop. I had a quick question for you!
I've been told over and over to make sure that the vents aren't letting cold air in at the level the chickens are, and to make sure my vents are high over the roosts so the chickens aren't getting freezing cold air blowing directly on them in the winter. In your coop, it looks like the vents are exactly at the level of the roosts. It looks like you know what you're doing, so would you be willing to explain the design choice and it's benefits?
Thank you!
Hi, the windows are at the level of the chickens on the roost bars, yes, but they can be easily opened and closed. We have vent holes at the top of the side walls to allow for ventilation. It's not near the chickens when they roost. The henhouse needs to breathe because half of their defecation occurs at night. The cold isn't bad for the chickens it's the freezing rain and winds. Our vent holes near the top walls, which by the way this coop peaks at over 7 feet, so that's over 5 feet in the henhouse, will not hurt the chickens roosting at all. Thanks for your question.
The Taj of hen pen's. Love it.
Had you thought of roof insulation for freezing times?
Hi Denis. We've touched on this in some videos, chickens aren't bothered by the cold and it's important to maintain a consistent temperature within the coop because its easier for the chicken's bodies to adjust to the colder temps. It's why we don't recommend ever heating your coops. But chickens don't do well with cold wind, drafts, and sideways rain. For that, we sell our polycarbonate run covers that block those elements out, while keeping in the light. They are easily removable too and cut to size with predrilled holes. (check out the duck run tour for a bit on those run covers)
Thank you so much for watching and for your comments.
My hens love a similar home being in sub tropical Queensland Australia.
I was just wondering about the snow as no experience with it...yet to see snow and looking forward to.
Love your design's.
@@Denis-zb5pf Thank you.
Hey,I’m Michael live in Saint Augustine,Fl.From Western Nc.I recently bought a 8,726 sq ft lot in Palatka,Fl.Looking forward to setting up a coup there.
Let us know when you're ready.
Great video and great coop. Question: We live in Nebraska... very cold in winter. Is your American Coop set up so you can winterize by sealing off openings? Do you offer that option?
Hi Timothy, thank you for your question. We have polycarbonate run covers. The screw on to the 3 foot panels of the coop to keep out snow and cold wind and rain. That's all you need to do for your chickens in the winter.
Here is a video of a duck run we did in Vermont that shows them
ua-cam.com/video/bUyyhwvOx-g/v-deo.html
so our town just passed a chicken ordinance allowing up to 6 hens.... and this is the fist video I watch lol
Sounds like a sign to us. ;)
Damn overreaching New World Order government tyrants!!!
How dare you be able to eat eggs from your own chickens without paying taxes on each and every egg!!!😮
do you ship these coops to Australia, because these look so much better than the ones I have seen
Yes, we ship worldwide. Please contact us for a shipping quote on a particular coop at 919-794-3989 and visit our website for coop prices and options at

Thank you!
please give me more measurements of the length and the width.Oh I like ,admired the coop
Another gorgeous coop! You mentioned the owner dug out the foundation and used compacted gravel to make it nice and level-is there any reason you couldn’t put wire in one of the foundation layers-way below where the chickens could scratch -but still providing protection against predators that dig?
Hi Paulie, we installed a predator apron around the coop. (we do it on all turnkey coops) and we recommend others to do that too. Predators that dig will go right near the base of the coop, so the predator apron keeps them from getting at your flock. Here's a video that explains it:
ua-cam.com/video/QPh0ETienDw/v-deo.html
Nice
I am a total critic, but have to say great job!
Thank you. We appreciate that.
I like the option for poly carbon run covers....i haven't seen them before
I also like the liner you put in the hen house floor but you spoke kind of fast and i couldn't quite tell what you called it....
Hi, inside the henhouse is food safe high-density polyethelene. Think of it like a cutting board you would use in your kitchen.
Matt why dont use all the extra space on top. you always put the tree branch straight across but you can put 2 or 3 more above that..
like above the windows that are in the coops house..
Nice explainer video! Any reason the rain gutters are only on the one side?
The gutters feed the rain barrel which is attached to a waterbar for the chickens. So you could have another gutter but you don't need another rain barrel or waterbar for this coop. We don't want to do features that are unnecessary as we appreciate the investment in buying one of our coops.
Thanks you show how to coop chicken hause
Beautiful and Profi
I know this video is old but i was hoping you guys could explain the drainage system a bit. We stumbled across this and the draining system seems great. Is it stone, corrugated pipe, and stone in that order? Holes do need to be cut into the corrugated pipe for water to come in right? Thank you!
no answer.
Is there one for people?
When will you come out with a BIG TEXAS COOP......
where do you get your HDPE sheeting, i can't seem to find a reliable source
HDPE is wasted here, it's for higher wear and strength applications. Just plain old PE is more than good enough.
If you have money to burn this would be perfect as a project but I don’t hear chickens either😂what a flex
Haha' youtube chicken police? Classic! I think it's a nice coop, something like I want.
I love the design. Too bad I can't have it. Because I'm living in city. They don't allowed raised chicken local.
What about high winds so the coop doesn't flip, how would one secure it to the ground?
Hi Manny, this coop weighs over 1,600 lbs so high winds won't be a problem. We had a coop in Texas where a hurricane hit and the coop was fine (the tree near it wasn't so lucky). Even our smallest coops weigh about 800 lbs. We put hurricane fasteners on the roofing on some Florida chicken coops too. Thanks for your question.
It looks absolutely amazing. What is a rough estimate on the price?
Since we don't offer the American Coop in this size yet, (but it can always be requested) we haven't broken down the pricing. A Carolina Coop of this size with these options would be about $10K, and an American Coop (6 foot wide) with these options and length would be about $5K, so you're looking at somewhere in between. We will be updating pricing and have more options soon on our website, where you can always punch in what you want in the Carolina and American coops and get the pricing. carolinacoops.com/shop/ Thanks!
@@CarolinaCoopsVideos not too bad. I love the looks of it. How many chickens total will it hold that size?
@@jameslcoble248 Thanks! It has two 8 foot roost bars, so with our generous 1 foot per chicken rule, 16 birds can roost in there easily, probably more (about 20) depending on sizes of chickens. It's also has two large egg hutches that could accommodate more birds. The run is spacious, and these will also be free ranging.
how much does a coop like this cost?
nice job by the way :-)
Our American Coops start at $2395, this one is wider, but you can get an idea from our website where you can choose options.

Good job .. I loved that especialy the house of chicken in middle the wonderful natuer . but if can builled this house up alittle on the earth was better.
Super Sr
Can you please provide a website for the water heating system you talk about in the video?
Hi Brandy. We sell our heated watering system on our website. You can purchase it here: carolinacoops.com/product/heated-watering-system/
Thanks.
That look good do you have building books
We don't sell our plans currently. Thanks for watching
I love this!!!! Just bought a farm in Bedford, Virginia! And I want CHICKENS!!!!! How much does this cost?????
This coop (8-foot wide American Coop) starts at $6000. There are other options that make this particular one more expensive, such as a Dutch door and rain barrel water system. This also comes in our 6-foot wide version, which starts at $2395. Here's the coop with prices and options.

Thanks!
@@CarolinaCoopsVideos thanks bunches!
Fredericksburg TEXAS
This looks like my pigeon coop. About 90% similarity.
what is the benefit of a flat roosting bars verses round like the tree branches? Does the round one cause problems for chickens feet?
Great question. Our roost bars are rounded, they are made with a chamfered edge, so this still allows air flow, like a rounded tree branch would give (and help prevent bumblefoot) but it also allows the birds to lay down on their feet giving them warmth in the winter. Tree branches are perfectly round either, so without the real thing, it's hard to duplicate in a wood shop. Thanks for your question.
Thumbs up
Thanks for watching.
Reason why I asked about a Texas Coop because I have around 200 chickens and looking to build or have a big Coop built ...what should I do??
A great coop! How many chickens is it designed for?
If you use the one foot per chicken rule, the henhouse can be maxed out at 16 birds, because there are 2 8-foot roost bars, but that's with free ranging. We also never suggest maxing out your coop if possible, because you want to be able to grow your flock. Thanks for watching.
Thank you very much. @@CarolinaCoopsVideos
Wish they sold plans for us diy guys
We get that request a lot. We are trying to figure out the logistics to make it work.
That is exactly what I want.
What's the cost of something like this?
Please check out our website for pricing. We also gave estimates in some other comments here.

a trip to Home Depot
How do you keep snakes out if you can't cover the run floor? She buried the stones deeply--couldn't that be done with the wire, too deep for the chickens to reach? BTW I really like this coop and run!
Snakes typically don't dig, they don't travel underground and the hardware cloth prevents them from getting in from the side.
@@CarolinaCoopsVideos Thank you! That's a great relief to me! I don't have chickens yet but I'm doing some long term planning and your videos are teaching me a lot.
@@aw4always Thank you. We're happy our videos help.
So much more room for activities lol
So true!
Y’all selling just the plans for the coop? Or I gotta buy the whole coop and have it shipped to Louisiana?
We do not sell plans currently.
😩
Beautiful,,what are some of your pricing? How far do you deliver and set up
Hi Kenn. Our pricing for this coop and others with various options is on our website:
carolinacoops.com.
We ship our coops worldwide and we install our coops all across the U.S.
Thanks for watching.
I am just wandering why not if you put the screening under the chicken coop to do it deeper ? Or do chickens dig that deep ?
I would imagine if you were to put screen under the run of the coop it should be at least 16" deep to play it safe. Either way I still find it way easier to just add the predator apron around the entire coop like we do and never need to worry about a thing. Thanks for watching the video. Matt

Not selling out to the ads?... Subscribed.
Thank you Steven for appreciated that and for subscribing.
can you build this on a concrete slab
Wow! This would be great on my property. A similarly setup standard American comes in around $7K. Can you ballpark what this would be, please? Thanks...JJ
The same coop as a Carolina Coop would be $10,190. Since we don't really offer the 8-foot wide option for the American Coop yet, we're not sure on the how the pricing would break down, but all these options on a 6x24 American Coop is just over $5000. So, somewhere in between, roughly. Thanks, you can always call for an estimate: 919-794-3989
@@CarolinaCoopsVideos Thanks for responding. I feel you have the best product of this type. I wish you continued success and look forward to more innovative coops...JJ
@@ChefJimmyJ Thank you for saying that, we strive to be the best and to constantly innovate.
"Dutch door"? we call them stable doors. Hi from U.K.
Funny, we just call them doors..." Hi from The Netherlands
Do you sell plans or the coop ?
Reached out to them several times on several occasions never got one reply.
That Active Investor im sorry to hear that. How have you tried to reach out to us. We are very good at getting back to everyone and very quickly.
You need to put something over the metal above the door. Keep someone from hitting there for head. Or you could build it higher
How do you clean up?
How do we clean the coop? We don't. It uses deep litter method. You only have to clean out the henhouse after a year or longer. Please check out our videos on our channel about cleaning with the deep litter method. thank you.
I like the design of your coop generally..not sure if I could start with this type of chicken coop in my area..
Do you deliver to Australia?
Natasha Kneale yes we ship all around the world.
Natasha Kneale just out of curiosity did you order one?
How long due these coops last
These coops are built like a house and unless damaged by a severe weather event, you shouldn't ever have to replace them.
Dang Nice Set up ! Wish You where closer by , I think you would be building me one! I'm in 24319 zip. You come there?
