Hey Robert, I know you've been going through a tough time recently but I just wanted to let you know how many times I caught myself smiling because of you throughout this video! The little things, like your legs walking up a few seconds behind the rest of you, towing it with your mower, calling it a chicken mobile home. Please know your audience really does appreciate all the work you put in, and although you may not feel it yourself, I just wanted to let you know you were a ray of sunshine in my day today. And also thanks for not being scared to talk about your emotions in the other video last week! (From someone who's been on meds for over 20 years now)
Holy cow (or... bird) what a project! Am I the only one here who wants you to equip the inside with a webcam or two so we can watch the birds settle in and enjoy their new home?
@@UnderDunnOfficial Newest Patreon perk: access to 24/7 chicken coop endless live stream third channel. Heh, sorry for suggesting the idea after you'd already completed building the whole structure, though! 😁👍
I love how you are asking "what did I do to deserve this" right after telling them "I'm stealing your eggs" 🤣 Love the new coop....and I agree with the others, we need a webcam...
You're very right. After I put the top windows in I realized I should've made them hinged so I can flip them open for vents. Heat doesn't seem to be a problem, but stinky likely will be
Not just that, but you can tell already that the glass is a big ol' tease for the poor birds who end up hitting a solid object where they thought a nice cool window was. 😢 That glass has to go, for the safety of your birds, even if you just end up leaving the windows open.
I hope you made sure to seal up the installation foam, because they will start eating it. Cover it either with thin wood or plastic. I can garantee they'll eat it, as they did the same with my house installation while we were fitting it up on the outside walls :D
I had several chickens a few years ago, just for the year; and even I know not to have anything but wood available for the chickens inside the coop. First vid I've seen, however seemed like both a waste of money and an excuse to show of his CNC. 2x4's, nails and bolts, OSB, foam, some corrugate metal, random glass, and I still can't see how the BOM is over $1000...
Chicken - watch me try to fly through the pretend window Turkey - watch me peck the guy stealing my eggs even though it clearly doesn’t work Human - hold my beer, I’m going to push your new house through my parked car.
This video was so enjoyable and had too many great moments for me to comment on all of them, so instead I'm going to offer unsolicited criticism. The peel-and-stick was probably a great idea, however I think you should have painted the osb with a sealant first. It reminds me of the previous bathroom floor in my current rental home - peel-and-stick vinyl on swelling and disintegrating hard board. Thanks for another banging video!
@@mlindholm yeah, and thinking about it further, it will probably last just fine. It's not like the chickums will be walking around the floor dripping wet after a hot shower, and occasionally backing up the toilet by taxing the disrepaired plumbing.
I'v made same mistake in one of my rooms, one of my cats hates litterboxes and instead, he used floor, all peel and stick bulged while OSB underneath swallowed from cat's urine...
About waterproofing the hinge on the cleanout hatch: I would've used a flexible, thin, waterproof material, put that on the inside of the top wall piece, have it come through the joint where the hinges are at, and let it overlap the bottom/hatch wall piece on the outside. Then screw on the hinges on top of that material. That would pretty much guarantee that water can't come in at that point. It's the same technique we use in (western) Europe to make a watertight connection between a brick wall and a roof that ends against that wall. Put a slab of lead (or lead replacement these days) in between the brickwork , so it sticks out on the outside, and make that overlap the joint between the roof and the wall. If done right, it the lead even goes into the cavity wall, through the insulation, all the way to the interior wall, so no water can continue down through the construction. Works great.
Wouldn't there be a risk of water running down the outside of the top piece, then pooling at the joint (water sitting on top of the waterproof material), and rot setting in at the base of the top piece?
@@Berkeloid0 Maybe a tiny bit, but that could be prevented by having the top piece a bit higher, something like half an inch would probably do. Water would never pool that high, plus with that gap the waterproof material is now likely to be at a 45 degree angle, so water will just shed away.
I built some rabbit hutches similar to this. To solve your cleanup problem, elevate the carcass and lay corrugated steel sheets at a backward slant. This "poo-chute" will redirect the mess to a collection area while leaving the front pristine.
To be honest you have the funniest woodworking videos that I have seen on UA-cam. It's kind of also nice seeing that you mess up and being able to make a joke about it and then fixing it. That level of honest is nice.
16:48 My school's shop has a (literal) TON of panes that look exactly like that. The school has no clue where they appeared from, and I may have taken a few during slow shop days. You never know when thin, long panes of glass will come in handy!
@@paul66766 That's what I figured. They were probably removed from the building years ago, and the people doing the renovation didn't know what else to do with all the glass. There were a bunch in the supply room of the old university machine shop I used to work in for my undergrad workstudy gig, too, which were removed during an "energy efficiency" rebuild in the '80s.
One thing I would suggest for a (two-story!) chicken coop is some ventilation, I’d suspect it would get a bit stuffy in there; just some small gable vents at the top of the sides would probably suffice
Robert, considering the personal stuff you have been going through, your cheerful and fun nature shines through. The coop isa amazing. It’s not the fact that it is so over the top - which to me is fabulous- but the care and pure skill that you have in creating such things. It looks amazing and as a person who can’t stand all the throwaway cheapness we have these days, this is wonderful. Top effort Rob!
14:20 Another option to cover the gap on the hinges, is to use innertube of a bike, or a strip of leather. 23:00 for fire safety, doors must open outwards 😂 Nice build, but this isn't a chicken coop anymore, it's a Hilton hotel 😉
Fantastic video. I sure appreciate your editing. You sure put a tremendous amount of work into this video. All those cuts! You made a half hour video fly by with there never being a dull moment. Always enjoyed your work.
Especially being able to build in your shop, I would advise a nibbler or even a sheet metal blade for your circular saw instead of the snips. I hate using snips to cut across those D-rib metal panels.
I was helping my buddy put new aluminum panels on his gooseneck trailer, we got maybe 3 panels in before he went and bought an M12 nibbler. Saved us some much time that I refuse to work with sheet metal without one.
Neat! Will we get some sort of hidden camera footage from inside in the future so we can see how they are acclimating to their new home? Also the scene with the coop on its side was PRICELESS (Don't worry about spoilers, nobody reads the description, much less the comments! )
Pampered chickens. You included "ow-takes" at the end. Each project a learning experience. I found the chickens efforts to fly through the fake glass openings funny. I can imagine some predatory animal, whether four legged or winged, knocking itself silly trying to go through these fake openings.
You need to add ventilation up top because each chickens produces 10 watts of heat, 10 birds equal to a 100 watt light bulb and their poop puts of ammonia.
1. I'm a long time watcher and your ingenuity, creativity, and resourcefulness never ceases to amaze me. 2. I think you're one of the few UA-camrs who REALLY deserves your ad revenue. So so much care and time and effort goes in to each and every video you make. I hope I live to watch every video till you retire :)
Any reason you chose not to use pocket screws to assemble the frames? And how come you used a cutting wheel to trim off the damaged roof but not to cut the steel in the first place? Great project and love the editing.
I saw the thumbnail and thought to myself “wow this guy is emulating the aging wheels thumbnail style” until I clicked the video! Love you’re branching out to non car related content. Keep up the good work
I love that you put that much time and effort in for the birds. We have 4 🐔🐔🐔🐔 and they follow me around our garden like loyal dogs. the Ow! scenes had me giggling like a kid again. I love what you do on this channel, thank you for sharing.
Not my dayjob or anything close but: why not paint the whole interior to limit how much chicken detritus works its way in to the walls? And especially the floor where the cheap stick-on vinyl tiles have gaps between them that are going to get infiltrated? And why the emphasis on weather stripping the hinge when my instinct is that your focus should be on getting rid of water?
I remember when you showed us the first set of birds. You have kind of grown past that now. You are slowly moving into a bird farmer and not a bird enthusiast .
I'm not a bird enthusiast anymore. I was, but then one of the eggs I put in the incubator was rotten and exploded. The incubator is in the kitchen. I don't have a kitchen anymore
@@UnderDunnOfficial You have a sulfur pit with a refrigerator now. That was cursed by the creatures that Ben Franklin thought were strong enough to represent the people of the newly formed used United States. Not that this will make your wounds feel any better. Of course it does give you a chance on making an Under Dunn video on how to clean that smell out of a kitchen as a follow up.
14:40 - Regarding weather-stripping the joint with the hinge... Did you consider maybe using weather-stripping IN the hinge area... you know... like how your front door of your house is weather-stripped? Both Lowe's and Home Depot sell rubber weather-strips that will stick to one side of the joint that compresses and seals when the door closes where it meets the frame.
That might stop the water getting in, but will it stop water from sitting at the joint where rot could set in? You don't want to block the water, you want it to run away from the joint to avoid rot.
@@Berkeloid0 Most of those joints are either vertical or angled down. It's just the two horizontal ones you have to worry about. He doesn't have any kind of bevel on them to allow for that. I'd say a simple round over, coupled with the rubber gasket, he'd be fine. And a decent latex paint should keep the water out of the ends of the boards to prevent wicking.
That ain't a chicken coop, that's a chicken castle! I must say, I cringed when you started cutting that steel roofing with tin snips. There is a much easier way, and I'm sure you have the tools to do it. Just take your circular saw, and put in an old blade you don't care about ruining, but put it in backwards. Not quite as good as a saw made for metal, but way faster and cleaner than snips. Just make sure you wear gloves (as you found out) and especially earplugs. It's LOUD.
Nice upgrade for your poultry. I'm hypnotically addicted to your way of editing. Please never change. And thanks for the laugh at the end. Injury joy is the only true joy. If you are not affected yourself, that is ... 😂
Love the coop, and agree with everyone that said you need a camera to spy on the birds. And easy way to cut tin like that is to sacrifice a saw blade, turn it backwards in a circular saw, and carefully cut your tin. Just watch for sparks and other debris. Cut ALOT of soffit this way in my home building days. Keep up the great work, and your humor is spot on, love it!!
I loved this video, not only for how pleasing is seeing you work, I really enjoyed how you edited it, is really fun to watch. Also liked how well you took the fall of the coop. Its really good to see that there are good woodworking videos on youtube that are not about making tables with epoxy resin.
Your craftsmanship is amazing and your editing is first-rate, so you make difficult stuff easy to watch. Add in the humour and it's a winning package. I hope the birds are respecting their new home (and lots of young turkeys into the mix - you may need to make another coop...). I'm watching this at the end of July and we had literally TWO DAYS of heatwave (40C in one very sunny spot) in England last week, which the media labeled as a climate apocalypse, so when I see/hear people dealing with that kind of thing all through summer, they get my sympathy!
OMG, I have tears in my eyes from watching your misadventures in how not to build a chicken coop. Thank you. I wish I could thumb this up more than once.
The editing on this must have taken forever! But what a great creative path and final result. I wish more woodworking projects were like this and to the point. Excellent work!
Thank you for posting this! You are like my brother from another mother... We have backyard chickens in the suburbs, so a much smaller and limited flock. I am on version 1.3 of my original design, putting off a complete new build. Someone else mentioned this, but chickens are really good at finding things to peck at. I installed foil wrapped foam, which was completely destroyed within 7 days. At first I thought they were pecking at their reflection, then at letters on the foil, and finally... debris that had settled on the foil. Anyway, whatever the reason - The chickens really couldn't resist pecking away at the resulting holes and shredded it at an exponential rate. Ultimately I started fresh with new insulation, cutting each piece out and reshaping it to fit... It was a nightmare. I then installed coroplast, corrugated plastic, on top, and stapled it into the framing. I left the staples undisguised, and the chickens pecked at the staples relentlessly for a couple of weeks, removing two of them before they left well enough alone. The coroplast seems to be holding up. But needless to say during the great insulation eating debacle, we were tossing eggs for a few weeks afterwards. I'm surprised the chickens survived a diet of polystyrene foam and aluminum foil. I believe most folks who have a mobile coop/run call it a "chicken tractor" for no particularly sensible reason. 😆 I used to move it around the yard as a mobile grass fertilizing platform
Thanks for being your comical self! I love watching your videos. You 1) make me laugh, and 2) not feel like the only one who makes mistakes. Love your creative solutions on the fly. Never change! You're halarious!!!
I WANT TO GO BACK IN TIME AND TELL MY YOUNGER SELF THAT, ONE DAY, FUTURE ME WOULD ENTHUSIASTICALLY WATCH A VIDEO OF A DUDE MAKING A CHICKEN COOP. THE FUTURE IS WILD, MAN. LOVE THIS CHANNEL.
I'm not sure what's the most enjoyable, the project, or you humour! Really enjoyed this project, got me trying (yet again) how to build one for our minuscule space, thanks for sharing!.
Yay, this channel is still alive!! I really like your woodworking vids. They're extremely entertaining and informational. Although I know absolutely nothing about woodworking and probably will never do any carpentry in my life, you got my seal of approval!
Your editing is just amazing, I've always loved it~ Especially when you're cutting, it almost makes it funny and catchy to hear, also your cloning is hilarious and really well done
Fantastic! The solution for a long hinge that is waterproof is a "Hurricane Hinge". They are used on the galley of teardrop camper trailers. Not cheap, but would have fit with the overkill of this project. LOVE IT!!!
i really love yourr editing style. it's hilarious to see the little things alot of people would miss. like that pair of legs walking up to you floating in the air when talking..
I moved a 1000 lb swingset by rolling it on pvc pipes. It worked great and was very stable. We rolled it about 200 yards moving the back pipe to the front as we went.
Out of all the build channels i watch i always find yours the most inspiring because you really show the whole process, with all the silly ideas and failures and redesigns included- like how a big project actually goes, instead of just the perfect finished version
I have to applaud the immense amount of work here...in editing the video to make the sound rhythmic and the comedic touches, like your feet walking in under you.
Absolutely love your videos. They're funny, entertaining, and you show the parts that you mess up. We ALL mess up, but showing them as humorous ways to learn is a lot more enjoyable than simply not showing them and acting like they don't happen. Keep it up! I can't wait for the next video!
Those dog bones are genius! I mean, I'm not a carpenter so they might be just a normal thing but I still think they're genius. And the template-y bit - awesome!
My chickens don't mind the snow. I do put up plastic covered frames over the run walls and under the coop, but leaving 6" gaps at the top of the run for ventilation. I also close the windows of the coop in the winter but there's loads of leaking air in it, just not a direct breeze into the coop. I also dump a bale or two of hay on the run floor and use chopped hemp as bedding in the coop. That seems to be fine for the winter. And doesn't stink in the summer.

I recommend you switch the top window glass to wire mesh. Without ventilation it'll get really hot and stinky.
Oh dang, that might've been a good use for the "fake" windows too instead of getting more glass.
You're very right. After I put the top windows in I realized I should've made them hinged so I can flip them open for vents. Heat doesn't seem to be a problem, but stinky likely will be

I'd say a simple round over, coupled with the rubber gasket, he'd be fine. And a decent latex paint should keep the water out of the ends of the boards to prevent wicking.
That ain't a chicken coop, that's a chicken castle!
I must say, I cringed when you started cutting that steel roofing with tin snips. There is a much easier way, and I'm sure you have the tools to do it. Just take your circular saw, and put in an old blade you don't care about ruining, but put it in backwards. Not quite as good as a saw made for metal, but way faster and cleaner than snips. Just make sure you wear gloves (as you found out) and especially earplugs. It's LOUD.
Academy award nominee for best editing.
You should team up with Mark Rober to make something super cool, maybe like a super complicated squirrel maze?
"Diagon-ally" bits. This is why I love this channel. The perfect Harry Potter reference in a video about a Chicken Coop.
I can't explain how much joy your videos bring me. The woodworking is great but it's your dry sense of humor that always brings me back. Thanks!
Nice upgrade for your poultry.
I'm hypnotically addicted to your way of editing. Please never change.
And thanks for the laugh at the end. Injury joy is the only true joy. If you are not affected yourself, that is ... 😂
All of the high-speed "just the business" cuts are fantastic
Love the coop, and agree with everyone that said you need a camera to spy on the birds. And easy way to cut tin like that is to sacrifice a saw blade, turn it backwards in a circular saw, and carefully cut your tin. Just watch for sparks and other debris. Cut ALOT of soffit this way in my home building days. Keep up the great work, and your humor is spot on, love it!!
I loved this video, not only for how pleasing is seeing you work, I really enjoyed how you edited it, is really fun to watch. Also liked how well you took the fall of the coop. Its really good to see that there are good woodworking videos on youtube that are not about making tables with epoxy resin.
I can’t believe a I’m subscribed to AG but never discovered this channel until now, my life became a little bit better today
Your craftsmanship is amazing and your editing is first-rate, so you make difficult stuff easy to watch. Add in the humour and it's a winning package. I hope the birds are respecting their new home (and lots of young turkeys into the mix - you may need to make another coop...).
I'm watching this at the end of July and we had literally TWO DAYS of heatwave (40C in one very sunny spot) in England last week, which the media labeled as a climate apocalypse, so when I see/hear people dealing with that kind of thing all through summer, they get my sympathy!
OMG, I have tears in my eyes from watching your misadventures in how not to build a chicken coop. Thank you. I wish I could thumb this up more than once.
The editing on this must have taken forever! But what a great creative path and final result. I wish more woodworking projects were like this and to the point. Excellent work!
I love that not only are you still using the split screen clone editing trick, but you keep finding new ways to keep it novel
Thank you for posting this! You are like my brother from another mother... We have backyard chickens in the suburbs, so a much smaller and limited flock. I am on version 1.3 of my original design, putting off a complete new build.
Someone else mentioned this, but chickens are really good at finding things to peck at. I installed foil wrapped foam, which was completely destroyed within 7 days.
At first I thought they were pecking at their reflection, then at letters on the foil, and finally... debris that had settled on the foil. Anyway, whatever the reason - The chickens really couldn't resist pecking away at the resulting holes and shredded it at an exponential rate.
Ultimately I started fresh with new insulation, cutting each piece out and reshaping it to fit... It was a nightmare. I then installed coroplast, corrugated plastic, on top, and stapled it into the framing. I left the staples undisguised, and the chickens pecked at the staples relentlessly for a couple of weeks, removing two of them before they left well enough alone. The coroplast seems to be holding up. But needless to say during the great insulation eating debacle, we were tossing eggs for a few weeks afterwards.
I'm surprised the chickens survived a diet of polystyrene foam and aluminum foil.
I believe most folks who have a mobile coop/run call it a "chicken tractor" for no particularly sensible reason. 😆 I used to move it around the yard as a mobile grass fertilizing platform
Love the sneaky editing at 9:25
That legs catching up with you bit early on was amusing. That shooting brake joke was hilarious. Love your videos, man
Thanks for being your comical self! I love watching your videos. You 1) make me laugh, and 2) not feel like the only one who makes mistakes. Love your creative solutions on the fly. Never change! You're halarious!!!
Hi I live in the UK I have to say your videos make me smile I can spend hours watching them
I WANT TO GO BACK IN TIME AND TELL MY YOUNGER SELF THAT, ONE DAY, FUTURE ME WOULD ENTHUSIASTICALLY WATCH A VIDEO OF A DUDE MAKING A CHICKEN COOP. THE FUTURE IS WILD, MAN. LOVE THIS CHANNEL.
I'm so glad you posted something new for your woodworking channel. I was scared you were done!
"Why is this video in my feed? ...Oh, it's you. Okay then."
This is not under dunn. This is art.
I'm not sure what's the most enjoyable, the project, or you humour! Really enjoyed this project, got me trying (yet again) how to build one for our minuscule space, thanks for sharing!.
Yay, this channel is still alive!! I really like your woodworking vids. They're extremely entertaining and informational. Although I know absolutely nothing about woodworking and probably will never do any carpentry in my life, you got my seal of approval!
Your editing is just amazing, I've always loved it~ Especially when you're cutting, it almost makes it funny and catchy to hear, also your cloning is hilarious and really well done
Fantastic! The solution for a long hinge that is waterproof is a "Hurricane Hinge". They are used on the galley of teardrop camper trailers. Not cheap, but would have fit with the overkill of this project. LOVE IT!!!
oh the edit on that hammering out of the pieces was really satisfying
Yes, new Under Dunn video! Love your style! nobody makes woodworking as fun to watch as you!
1 smidge is 2.35 scotias, you owe me a coffee for that one...and possibly a keyboard! Bravo.
i really love yourr editing style. it's hilarious to see the little things alot of people would miss. like that pair of legs walking up to you floating in the air when talking..
I moved a 1000 lb swingset by rolling it on pvc pipes. It worked great and was very stable. We rolled it about 200 yards moving the back pipe to the front as we went.
That's a time-honored technique, though I feel like the builders of Stonehenge would've used an F150 if they'd had access to one. :)
You're editing skills and just audience engagement is amazing
When the coop tipped over was a sad moment but glad its ok and you saved it im sure the chickens and turkeys will love the new home
Out of all the build channels i watch i always find yours the most inspiring because you really show the whole process, with all the silly ideas and failures and redesigns included- like how a big project actually goes, instead of just the perfect finished version
That is the most adorable thing I have seen all day. Well done on the new house and new baby turkeys.
"Im unusual, but I'm not cruel" Hands down best quote I've heard in a long time. LMFAO Love it.
The ability you have to just imagine a solution and go build it. That’s pretty incredible.
I have to applaud the immense amount of work here...in editing the video to make the sound rhythmic and the comedic touches, like your feet walking in under you.
Man it feels like just yesterday you built that first coop! How the time flies..
Absolutely love your videos. They're funny, entertaining, and you show the parts that you mess up. We ALL mess up, but showing them as humorous ways to learn is a lot more enjoyable than simply not showing them and acting like they don't happen. Keep it up! I can't wait for the next video!
Bro, you always do things the hardest way anyone has ever done that type of thing before.
just in case you were wondering. Yes we saw the editing trick you pulled at 9:24. nice one :D
Dude, I love the little Kraftwerk songs that the tools make when you put all the cuts together like that.
The geese are telling each other. This guy never stops making noise.
How cool! A build and restoration video at the same time!
Glad you're back to making videos. Always a good time.
Those dog bones are genius!
I mean, I'm not a carpenter so they might be just a normal thing but I still think they're genius.
And the template-y bit - awesome!
My chickens don't mind the snow. I do put up plastic covered frames over the run walls and under the coop, but leaving 6" gaps at the top of the run for ventilation. I also close the windows of the coop in the winter but there's loads of leaking air in it, just not a direct breeze into the coop. I also dump a bale or two of hay on the run floor and use chopped hemp as bedding in the coop. That seems to be fine for the winter. And doesn't stink in the summer.
