      What happened we started not having plywood on all the walls, but, as we started to make the finishing, I decided to do all the walls. Am I glad we did. Tell your husband he need to show some love and make some improvements. Put him on guilt trip. lol

    I love how you love your flock. I love my girls and every night we sit, relax and socialize with our girls. I have solar LED patio lights in the run and solar motion detector lights on the exterior. I also use the Tractor Supply pine shavings for the litter. I grow Lavender, Rosemary, Orange and Lemon Balm, Mint etc, and pick whenever I clean the coop, to scatter on the floor. It smells so nice and keeps mice and insects away - and is free. I decorated my Hens house and its pleasing, homey, clean and happy.

    I love the way the door for the eggs folds down. That is what mine does, and it has two cables that hold it open like a shelf. I make the nesting material out of grass on the property. I make my own wood chips with my chipper, and the floor of the enclosed run is dirt. What I might do next is to open the floor of the coop so that all the waste just falls to the dirt below and from time to time I can rake the top layer of dirt and replace it with fresh dirt.

      You can have one. No need to be so elaborate. I think the important thing is start with the hen house. And work on that. The smooth walls and floor are very important. The run is just a frame with wire. Not hard to do. But do little by little. As you can afford it or have time for it.

    We have similar ideas 💡, very creative coop, the biggest difference is my choice of building materials, my coop is built out of steel reinforced block and concrete, my nest boxes are built out of mostly metal and wood, my electricity is 100% solar, my pumping system will be 12v working on solar, my rain catchment will be done with a diverted system with 255 gallon storage, I'm working on my chicken run right now, my coop is called the chicken bunker because it's hurricane proof, I have some videos up so you can see another creative coop, I enjoyed your video.

    I'm getting ready to move to my retirement farm which includes 3 outhouses which are 10X16. Of course one will specifically be for chickens once I get it cleaned out.
    I will be gluing down vinyl flooring because I already have it but sealing up the walls is such an excellent thing to do. I was also planning on building a rain water catchment using a couple metal garbage cans but yours looks so much bigger and better.
    Looks like you have thought of everything on constructing yours and I will definitely be stealing some of your ideas.
    Look forward to future videos.

I really like how you automated your watering system.

    I LOVE all the ideas you had and how much you love a beautiful environment even for your chickies! I am getting ready to build a chicken coop and plan on adding some of your ideas if not all of them into my new coop! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely coop with us!!
