Here I will show you a tour of the Florida Coop I designed and built. It was built on a trailer frame to make it easy to move and easy to raise healthy happy chickens.

Very nice 👍

This is exactly what I've been thinking about, put the coops on wheels and set it up to be as efficient as possible so that we can move them around .. The fact that you spend 15 to 20 min a day is the confirmation I was looking for! Thank you

Very, very impressive. What a great, functional, well thought out design. The wide temperature variations came as a surprise too.

You have an awesome coop. Love the idea of building on a frame and trailer. I've got a 4×8 trailer that needs a new floor. This is a definite idea I might take up. Hmm maybe.

This is great!! Do you have the building plans by chance (or remember the measurements)? I would love to do something similar to your design.

@pbrstreetgng79 5 жыл бұрын

I honestly just thought it up in my head. The walls are 51" tall and the roof has an 8/12 slope. The measurements really depend on the trailer you build on.

That is pretty amazing! I do have a question and this might sound dumb but how do you move it around? Do you attach it to a truck or atv or can it be lifted possibly? Thanks!

@pbrstreetgng79 4 жыл бұрын

I have a towing attachment for the bucket on my tractor. I just pick it up and move it around the property. Takes two minutes.

I’ve been researching a build for my coop & just love your design. Very well thought out! Two questions, how many chickens do you have & have you had any problems with snakes coming up through the flooring? Thanks

@pbrstreetgng79 6 ай бұрын

Never had a problem with snakes. Anything small enough to fit through the mesh is bound to be eaten by the chickens! At my peak, I had over 60 chickens in that coop. Hope this helps. Thanks!

How do you tie it down for storms.? I would have put nest boxes on the wheal boxes. You got very strong build!

@pbrstreetgng79 Жыл бұрын

It has been through several hurricanes. I never tie it down. Never had a problem. Hurricanes=heavy rain, so my rain barrel is full during those moments. A full rain barrel is about five hundred pounds of dead weight keeping it from blowing around and staying firmly on the ground. Hope this helps!

@xyooj96 3 жыл бұрын

very nice, how many birds can you put in there?

@pbrstreetgng79 3 жыл бұрын

About 60, comfortably.

This is what I will do here in Sweden this spring!! What are measures of the house?

@pbrstreetgng79 2 жыл бұрын

Coop measures 6 feet by 12 feet long. The walls are 51 inches tall, and the roof is at an 8/12 roof slope. Hope that helps!

When you harvest water like that do you treat it with anything? Thanks!

@pbrstreetgng79 3 жыл бұрын

Yes we do. Occasionally we will put a small amount of bleach in, just to kill any nasty things that might be lurking. 6 drops of bleach per gallon is usually the rule.

What do you do about cold winter air coming in from floor

@pbrstreetgng79 Жыл бұрын

Nothing. Chickens feathers are naturally insulating. My flock was completely fine even when the temperatures got down into the twenties. They all bunch together on the roosts and keep warm.

Sorry for the silly question but how did you attach the sill plate to the trailer? Great job by the way!!

@pbrstreetgng79 4 жыл бұрын

I'm not sure what you mean by sill plate

@martyp.992 4 жыл бұрын

@@pbrstreetgng79 Apologies- In a wall for a house or a building where it attaches to the floor it's called a sill plate. I didn't know what else to call it??? I'm referring to the bottom of the walls -where it attaches to the frame of the trailer. It looks like you through bolted the wood to the channel around the trailer but I could not tell for sure.

@pbrstreetgng79 4 жыл бұрын

Oh ok. I just mounted the walls to the trailer floor with heavy duty carriage bolts. I used about 34 in all.

For the roost I would use full size two by fours at a even level because of the way they lay their body down when they Roost that's just my two cents take it or leave it. Definitely a roost is not a perch a roost is where they sleep so I'm just saying otherwise great video

My chickens haven't complained. They've been happy with this arrangement for two years and counting now.

How do you keep algae from growing in your barrel

@pbrstreetgng79 Жыл бұрын

A little bit of bleach every so often. Also, don't use a clear rain barrel to cut down on sunlight.

How did it survive hurricane Ian

@pbrstreetgng79 Жыл бұрын

Without a scratch. It's been through a few hurricanes with 60-70 mph winds. We don't usually get crazy winds in my part of Florida.
