I teach chicken classes and never knew what the carabiner's were called. I would show the students a picture and say, "you need this thingie" lol. Thanks for that!
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.
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?
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.
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
Welcome to Chickenlandia thank you! I actually hate saying it but when you open yourself up to the world I feel like I save myself time with these disclaimers. Thank you for watching!
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.
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..
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.
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.
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
Increíble, excelente higiene y seguridad para las gallinas, todos los espacios muy bien aprocheados y además el diseño en fantastico!!!! Saludos desde Tucumán Argentina 🇦🇷
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.
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!!!😮
Would like to know the different sizes that will hold 10 chickens 20 chickens, 30 chickens 50 chickens. Would also like to know, do you have a section where you can print a broody hen at?
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!
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!
@@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.
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!
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.
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....
QUESTION, please. Watching all of your builds and keep wondering why coops are always 6' deep when a sheet of plywood is 4' wide. I know it has to do with economy of materials in some manner, or certainly expect it is, yet cannot figure out how. Does that extra 4' of plywood get used in the nest boxes, etc. so it works out more economically without having leftovers from the second sheet?
Most of our coops are 6 foot wide with a 4 foot deep henhouse. This one is a bigger version of our popular American Coop. We also are using high density polyethene in the henhouses exclusively now.
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.
Hi John, we have had coops that were build on a concrete foundation (only on the footprint of the coop, not inside) and we have used anchor bolts for that, but in most cases, our coops are heavy enough to withstand wind storms. This coop weighs around 1600 lbs.
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.
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. carolinacoops.com/shop/american-coop/ Thanks!
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.
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 carolinacoops.com/ Thank you!
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.
I do have a question. Is there anything special that you do to your coops when a customer lives in a very cold, windy climate? Like Wyoming for example Wind can get up to 60-80 miles an hour and with and in the winter it has gotten as cold as -45°; While sustaining 0° for 29 days? I am very interested but I’m not sure it would last long
Our coops are heavy, an average coop weighing about 1,100 lbs. We also sell polycarbonate run storm shields that attach to our coop runs to keep out snow and cold winds. We also have our coops in every state in the U.S. including Alaska and Wyoming. 😁
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
Do you guys have any designs for giant chicken breeds? Specifically Belgian Leige Fighters, roosters at almost 3 feet? I live in a high predator area and not much successfully will mess with little raptor dinosaurs like them. The little coop door etc just not sized for big guys and gals, if you create a design for the giant breeds you can call it the Alaska or the Texas ;)
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.
Hello. I'm from Romania (Europe) and I really like what you did. And I want to build something like this. You could help me with the sketch? I would like to do the same, because I really like it. Thank you.
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.
Quiero construir uno para mi pero no tengo dinero se ve muy caro, es una lástima que no puedan llegar a México y puedan financiar uno. Me gustaría que mandes planos de como lo construiste
Hi, the maximum chickens we recommend for this coop is based on the roost bars in the henhouse, which would be 24 chickens with free ranging. There are three 8-foot roost bars, you could probably fit about 4-6 more birds if you had to but it would be crowded at night. Thanks for watching.
@@oldman774 yes, if you cannot free range, you want to give your birds a minimum of 10 sq ft. which would then make your maximum 19 birds. ( and we strongly encourage giving them more space than 10 sq ft. per chicken). This page shows the different sizes. carolinacoops.com/shop/8-foot-wide-american-coop/
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!
@@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.
Hi Suzanne, we offer our basic poultry water system, plus we have links to the components to make it a heated system. carolinacoopsflockshop.com/collections/coop-accessories/products/basic-poultry-watering-system
We ship worldwide and we build coops all over the U.S. and Canada. We are in Virginia a lot. Please contact us if you want us to build you a coop Dave. sales@carolinacoops.com or visit our website for a coop like this one: carolinacoops.com/shop/american-coop/

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.

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.
You need to put something over the metal above the door. Keep someone from hitting there for head. Or you could build it higher
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 is the recommended number of chickens for this 8x24 chicken coup/run?
Hi, the maximum chickens we recommend for this coop is based on the roost bars in the henhouse, which would be 24 chickens with free ranging. There are three 8-foot roost bars, you could probably fit about 4-6 more birds if you had to but it would be crowded at night. Thanks for watching.
@@CarolinaCoopsVideos thanks for the reply. Does the run size have any influence on the numbers?
@@oldman774 yes, if you cannot free range, you want to give your birds a minimum of 10 sq ft. which would then make your maximum 19 birds. ( and we strongly encourage giving them more space than 10 sq ft. per chicken). This page shows the different sizes.

@@CarolinaCoopsVideos excellent thank you
@@oldman774 You're welcome!
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.
Do you have blueprints avilable for purchase for DIYers?

Dave Smith hi Dave Matt here the guy in the video. We build in Virginia all the time. It feels like our backyard compared to when we drive out to the west coast for coop installs.
@@CarolinaCoopsVideos Thanks for the reply to my post, I'll take a good look at what you have to offer and Go from there ....You look to have really nice coops and Good Workmanship in building them....
The introduction music starts out so ear splitting fricken loud. Why would you do that?
Paul Heinrich yeah I hear ya. Trust me it’s not intentional. I will ask the editing department to see what they can do. Sorry about this but thinks for trying to watch.
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.
