    Thank you for doing this nice and slow and explaining what you’re doing. It is most helpful. I wish all videos were like that especially when you’re going off of plans. Not everybody has built something before.

    What is the overall height? I like this design and was wondering if it’s possible to downsize it and build it slightly smaller?

    • @doubledranchmi01
      @doubledranchmi01  2 роки тому +1

      It is 69 inches from base to top. Not including the legs. I am sure if you did the math right it is possible.

      Chickens don’t need insulation, we’re not raising no sissy chickens lol. Northern Michigan tough. They do get a heat light for night though.

    I bought those same plans, can you maybe add up just what you bought.? I know you said you have some stuff already. I’m just trying to see if the materials are cheaper than buying the over EZ coop.

    • @doubledranchmi01

      I want to say it was around $700 from our local Home Depot.

    Sorry for the late reI have subscribed and liked some videos. I can build a chicken coop on my own, but your coop looks like something I would like to build. Sorry for not looking, but are there plans for this? if not not worries, you guys are doing a great job, I was just looking for some help.
    thanks guys.

    • @cycletim1
      @cycletim1 2 роки тому +1

      I’ve read a lot that you should have minimum 3 square feet per chicken… 4 is ideal though. With the floor of this coop being 24 square feet it can hold between 6 chickens comfortably or 8 chickens that don’t mind being a bit cozier.
      This is not a rule… just something I’ve heard and read quite a few times.
