I've learned a lot in the last year as a first generation homesteader. Loss has given me a lot of experience, and I hope that by sharing these things I've learned it can help prevent heartache for others.
Special thanks to the dozens of contributors who offered photos of their own coops to help show the wide variety of "normal" in how coops can appear and operate!
So many people are getting into chicken keeping for the first time, and I thought I'd show the simple basics of what to include in your coop to get you off on the best foot possible.
More videos to come!!

I really liked the idea of a trash can for a watering device for them

I’m still using that same watering system now! It’s amazing. My advice is to be so careful when moving it or cleaning it, I’ve popped a could off 😬

I am sooo sorry, but I needed this laugh!!! Your roosters were trying to tell you that they had something to share.😂😂😂 You gave excellent info. I will be getting my 10 chicks in July. We are building our coop starting next month. I’m soo eggcited!

Even though I don't have chickens, I enjoy watching your videos. Your chickens seem to be very comfortable around you.

What do you do with the sand when you switch to deep litter method? Do you do that on top of the sand?

@cabincreekhomestead761 Ай бұрын

Such an excellent question. We clean the coop first with the pitchfork, and then we saved that sand with the sifting shovel that we made. It’s a big clean out, so I have to really myself up for that day.
