That's the most upscale egg/nesting box build I've ever seen. Your chickens are going to be brooding in style lol. Thanks for sharing it really turned out great.

That's awesome to hear!!! I am trying to make it as nice as I know how. Thanks for the support!

Thank you for going over the roofing. I’m at the roofing on my coop and I couldn’t find a simple video to show me how to do it.

Oh thank you so much! That's exactly why I wanted to make the video. Thanks for subscribing too!

Great video. I appreciate you not editing out the mistakes. I am in the middle of a coop build and have made a few mess ups along the way. I had a plan in my head but it did not work out exactly like the picture in my head. I made a few minor adjustments to make things work, and I am almost finished with it.

Id love to see it when it's done! Thanks for the feedback, sometimes you can learn more from mistakes. Thanks for watching!!!

go inside screw a 4-inch screw in each corner go outside and use a chalk line and make your lines cut hole set your blade to 3/4 of an inch so you don't hit 2x4s

Great video series! Gonna build my wife a chicken coop this year. One suggestion for that odd side shape framing, just build it out of a piece 3/4” plywood. Trace out your shape and cut. No difficult angles. It will be plenty strong enough.

@jbonnell1117 Жыл бұрын

Guday mate from Down Under. It looks like you need a Router to help you to cut rebates. It's also far safer than a circular saw and much more accurate. I am building an A frame coop about 9 feet wide on all sides. The exterior laying boxes will be similar to yours but connected to the vertical end wall differently. I like the 'A' frame design as it is so very strong in a cyclone and very easy to construct.

@TheArtofDoing Жыл бұрын

Yes, I bought a router after the fact once I knew what I was missing!!! I'm curious how you are going to attach your egg boxes! Thanks for taking the time to comment!!!

I built my roof to my coop and nails were showing through and I used cork on the nails. However, what should I do with the nails that could potentially show through on the nesting box? I can't really use corks for the nesting box nails. The wood for nesting box lid is about 3/4" thick.

@TheArtofDoing 2 жыл бұрын

Good question! My coop roof is so high that it isn't an issue. Im going to go look at my egg box and see how far the egg box roof nails stick through. If you're worried about you or your birds getting poked, you could bend them back over by hammering them sideways or you could cut off the tips. Thanks for stopping by, I love the questions!

The floor went in on the first episode of this build.

Sorry I meant the floor to the nest box. When did you install it? Love your videos and coop! They have been a huge help during our coop build!

That flashing looks awful calk the seam with clear silicone caulk and then put a 1x4 on it Done

@TheArtofDoing 3 жыл бұрын

I know!!! The chaulk is definately happening but do you mean put the 1x over the seam where the flashing goes into the coop? I think I like that idea!
