Matt, I used the 14x21 with a J channel mount. Here is the link. shop.shedwindowsandmore.com/14-x-21-shed-window-safety-glass/

Thanks buddy!

No problem and good luck!

@@StrungOutOutdoors the window link is broken for me

🤣

And thank you for such a nice comment👍

Thanks man. It's not as hard as you think 👍

Baylee thanks for the compliment👍

Thanks and good luck on the project brother!

Thanks

Thanks, glad it could be of some help for you. If I'm remembering right, it was around 12 2x4s. Good luck!

Lol yeah I had to do a little at a time

Thanks👍

🤣 you crack me up

That's awesome! Good luck with the chickens

Bahaha thanks man

Awesome man, glad the video was able to help you out.

Thanks and goodluck!

Thanks

That's what I always thought too, but after doing research, Round roosts are known to cause damage to your chickens’ keel bones, foot pads, and overall health for several reasons. Read this for more info hutchandcage.com/should-chicken-roosts-be-round-or-square/

Chickens definitely prefer a square roosting bar, their “toes” aren’t meant to curl around a roosting bar like most other types of birds.

2x4 mounted flat is best, especially for larger breeds.

Hey, thanks

looked like half inch

You know I was. Seen it too many times. Agree, we should have won by 10-17 points, but I'll take it. Good game, yall always play lights out against us

It took me less than a week doing just a little at a time. Should be able to knock it out over the weekend if you really wanted

Thanks. I got them from shedwindowsandmore.com

Thanks. It depends on the types of wood you use and the size you want to build. You're looking at a minimum of 4-500. But this is for those who don't want an eyesore on their property.

Thanks. I don't have any plans. This was based off several ideas. You shouldn't have any problems finding plans online though or looking at other builds to come up with your own idea's. Good luck!

Awesome! It just depends really. Are they going to be in the coop full time or will they be free ranging and only using the coop to sleep? Do you have standard, large, or bantam size chickens? Some people swear you need 3 sqft per bird. Others say 1 sqft per bird. I think you can get 15-20+ standard birds in a 4x8 comfortably as long as they won't be in the coop 24/7. I started with 13 birds in this build and they had more than enough room, even with just 1 roosting bar. Got rid of 2 roosters and lost 5 at once recently to a boil of hawks. Ive got 18 chicks in a brooder right now and will have a total of 21 chickens in this coop, but mine free range and about 4-5 are bantams (mini chickens). I'll be doing an update on this build soon. Thanks for watching and good luck with your chickens, they are definitely addictive.

Thanks. I don't remember exactly because I built it last year, but it seems like it was around 4-500

Thanks. Yeah, I've seen the video and it reminded me of a dog house I built as a kid. And so was this coop based off those ideas. I will probably go back and add more ventilation on the wall with the perch. Instead of the vents, this will be about the length of the wall and only 8-10" in height. Then cover it with hardware cloth. This design also gives you A LOT of extra space to; add more nesting boxes, perches, even another level ( 2nd story ), or to create storage space in it up top. My only regrets is not adding overhang to the roof. I may do that, or add a gutter system one day. After I finished the coop, I added a 4×8 run as well, plus the 4×8 space under the coop, it turns into an 8x8. Again, my chickens free range, but this is good if I have to leave them for long periods. And of course, I added the predator cloth so nothing can dig under 😆 Thanks for watching and commenting!

I don't have a material list, sorry. This was 2 years ago now, so I'm not exactly sure of the numbers. It's an easy build though. You can basically follow along

Wood

✔Yep, added a run and automatic door not long after this. Thanks for watching

Super sturdy. You could tie in some 2x4 if you wanted, but not needed

The way I did this required 2 full sheets on the roof. I wanted to maximize space, water shed, and keep the build simple, so I used full sheets. My plan was to use the open space in the roof (inside the coop) as storage, but I still haven't gotten around to that 😆 Since this was a 4x8 build and sheets come in 4x8, I flipped what would become the gable wall up vertically and measured up 48" (center point)to be flush with the walls. Drew a line all the way across the width (48") to act as a marker, then cut off each side from the top center out at 48" for a full sheet at a degree angle. This allows you to lay full sheets of the 4x8 plywood as the roof straight onto the wall/gable then miter the butt of the roof for the ridge beam and the other end for the joint at the wall. However, you can cut that angle to be whatever pitch you want. I measured my angle to allow a full 4x8 sheet to lay on each side of the roof. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and good luck on your build if that's your direction.

@@StrungOutOutdoors Thanks. Last couple of questions. What length were the 4x4's, 8'? And was the plywood 1/2" Thanks again. I will be building this design.

@@MrBryanBarry Yep and 5/8. In hindsight, if I was to do this build over again. I would either spend extra money for a couple extra pieces of plywood for roof overhang. Or if money is tight, just bring length and width of walls in a bit to allow for roof overhang. I'm not having any problems, but that's one thing I would have done differently just for extra security and peace of mind.

@@StrungOutOutdoors Was the plywood 1/2" or 3/4" thanks for your time.

@@MrBryanBarry 1/2" will be fine. I actually used 5/8

I don't have a material list, sorry. This was 2 years ago now, so I'm not exactly sure of the numbers. It's an easy build though. You can basically follow along

I do not, it's a very simple design though. Good luck 👍

I used plywood. OSB would be cheaper, but you usually won't get a good finish on it because if the surface texture. They both have their pros and cons.T1-11 would look the best in my opinion, but it will cost you more

@@tinaperalta3863 I do not remember, sorry. If I had to guess, I'd say at least 500

No joke🤣

I don't have plans, but if you follow close enough you can copy what I do 😋

@@StrungOutOutdoors It looks like theres no overhang on the roof. Are you not worried about water on the walls?

@@britneysicard3520 In hindsight, I wish I would have. I had initially planned on incorporating the roof into my run, but since my chickens would free range, I ended up going a different direction with my run and my original plans never happened. I can and may still do an add on, much like one would do when adding a deck to their house. But as of now, everything is ok, partly because the coop is under tree canopy. But yes, I recommend people who want follow this type of design to build the roof with overhang 👍

Didn't monetize the video so no rights were needed. Thanks, I appreciate the compliment

Roger, I believe it was KILZ- Siding, fence and barn paint. They have it in a red or white at lowes

No

Nah, the dividers and lip keep them in place. Problem is all of them want to use 1 box. Typical chickens. They recently raked out the boxes and are only laying in coop floor now

@@StrungOutOutdoors Could't see dividers and I bet its fun climbing in to get them.

@@JimmyCandFriends you're right, I just went back and watched and it's not included in the video. Yeah, it gets old pretty quick climbing in there. They are giving me more eggs than I know what to do with right now too

@@StrungOutOutdoors Ya buddy to many eggs. We give them to the food pantry & the Landlord.

@@StrungOutOutdoors After looking for weeks at a chicken coop to build I think I am going to try to build the one you did. Quick question, is that flip down panel on the opposite wall of the main door there for the purpose of accessing the boxes and removing the eggs? I assumed it was but then you mentioned how it gets old pretty quick having to climb in there to collect the eggs.

I don't remember exactly. Somewhere between 12-15 probably.

Yep. Ended up with 2 Polish roosters. I couldn't tell a difference then, but now I'm like how did I overlook them lol. Wife didn't like the thought of eating fertile eggs so I got rid of them

I don't have a material list, sorry. This was 2 years ago now, so I'm not exactly sure of the numbers. It's an easy build though. You can basically follow along

I did👍 Actually made that a storage area and they can't access it.

A little bit, but only where the ground was unlevel. You can do it either way.

I didn't, but you can if you choose to.

I don't remember exactly. I think around 400-500, but this was before lumber prices increased

Great, trying to make one for three to four hundred, then turn around and sell it …

Do you have info on whats needed for this project? And measurements?

4x8

Yep
