You can be very proud of the carpentry work you do. You are very artistic and practical in the way you build habitats for your animals. Thank you for always protecting them.

Thank you very much! Means a lot. One of the most useful skills building a homestead.

Initially I thought the coop was a little frivolous but fun for a farm. Then I see the different breeds in their own sections with all the feed and chicks in the central portion and it’s actually very practical, probably the most practical I’ve seen. A fantastic piece of work. You should sell the plans.

@HiddenSpringFarm 2 ай бұрын

I find it super easy to do the chicken chores cause everything is right there. I’ve built 2 different gazebos in previous homes. A six sided and an 8 sided so that’s how I came up with the idea of separate coops for the different breeds. I also learned a lot building it, things that I can now do better if I was to do it again.

Thomas Jefferson, 3rd President of the USA, was also an architect. In particular, he seemed fascinated with the geometric and structural features of an octagon. This shape had been employed for centuries in the construction of domes, but Jefferson appreciated the functional aspects of the space it enclosed: his tearoom at Monticello was enclosed by three sides of an octagon and his retirement retreat, “Plantation House,” was laid out in the shape of an octagon. As ususal, all Jefferson's ideas and designs were carried out by others, so he didn't have to fuss around with the angles during construction. Kudos to you, Chad.

You have me hooked as a fan!! ❤ #2 - Yes... You have built the greatest, most unique, amazing chicken coop on KZfaq!! I think you can claim that title for sure 😊 It's well-deserved 👏 We recently built the best giant tortoise house on You Tube (at least I'm pretty sure) 😄 I wish they gave out awards for that kind of thing!! 🤣🤣 It sure would make the hard work that much sweeter.... But at least our chickens and tortoises are well-loved and happy. That's what matters most 💕😊 Cheers
