    If you are interested in hearing more about our chickens please let us know and we can post more content. This is a little outside of my NORMAL solar panel and battery content ...but still falls within being self-reliant and emergency preparedness. Backyard chickens are a great way to have a reliable source of fresh eggs and also teaches our children responsibility. We LOVE our chickens!

      I grew up with a flock of almost 50 birds, we used to sell our eggs to local restaurants and bakeries. They more than paid for themselves and it was a lot of fun herding them around the yard / green belt we had. I think every family should have a few birds if they have the space, it's a fun family experience and home grown eggs are infinitely better than store bought

      That’s a myth😂even before 2023. But you are right, for sure not a myth after 2023!!!🤣🤦🏽‍♂️Honestly even if you are paying 0.10¢ extra per dozen to keep chickens and have your own eggs, I’d rather do that than eat store bought eggs that have steroids and are bleached…

    Great coop. The "water in the nest boxes" is a common issue. By putting a strip of vinyl on the wall above the lid and coming down over the lid the water will run off before entering the nest at all.

    You might want to sell your plans. Also, a baby monitor in the hen house, plugged up to power, with the listening part in your bedroom is very soothing and alerts if a predator gets in there, so you can go out and let the air out of that fox or coon.

      Yes I have chickens now as of 3 months ago. I have Rhode Island Reds and Silver Laced Wyandots. The first two places I moved the coop to, they ate my grass up. I placed sod in those areas to replace the grass. I now let them out early in the morning. This prevents the balding of my grass, but they poop all over the place. In two months I will get a large chicken run to contain them to one large area. They love roaming free in my back yard! I still have about 4 weeks to go before they start laying eggs. They get so big so fast!

    Great job with your coop! I like that you incorporated “toys” to keep your birds engaged. I saw a coop where the owner made a rustic little swing out of ropes and a thick tree branch. It looked super cute and his birds apparently love sitting on it.

    I love your coop. I have been doing youtube research lol, as I would love to have some chickens. The one thing I learned that you may not have seen is that chickens like round roosts as their feet naturally curve. so possibly tree branches may be comfier for them.

  • @larag4646
    @larag4646 Рік тому +15

    Nice coop!
    I'm building a new one and love to see what others do. I used construction sand (aka river sand-not play sand) inside the coop and in the run. It would dry the poop quick so it never stunk. Then I could scoop out poop kitty litter style and never had to replace the sand. It also helps keep their nails filed down and their feet exfoliated. And since chickens are more sensitive to heat than cold, in the summer (110+), I'd wet down a corner and they loved to lay there to cool off. In the winter, the cold sand never bothered them and they had roosting spots to get out of it if they needed it but never did.
    Then I like to use a shredder and run junk mail through it for nesting material. Never run out of that. 🤣

    @leonacollet4051 Рік тому +3

    You've come up with some fantastic ideas with your DIY chook coop.
    Pre-made chicken coops will come with a roost built into their design, and it should be made with a sturdy and solid timber that is rounded off. It is important that the timber is rounded off as this makes it easier for them to grip, and it should also ideally by 50mm as anything much smaller or larger can cause sore feet in your hens and lead to furthered ailments.
    As the point of the perch is to allow your poultry pals to roost up nice and high where they feel safe and secure, it should be placed at least 45cm from the ground.
    Other than the deep-bed method you went with, you can place dropping boards (just a shallow bin) below the chickens roost, to collect their droppings for your compost, etc.

    • @katers22
