How to build a DIY backyard chicken coop. This is a super easy chicken coop to build and is easy to clean. It is 4x8 and can handle up to 13 chickens. The chicken runs it simply too and provides the chickens with plenty of space to run around and hunt bugs. They are protected by an electric fence to keep predators and neighborhood dogs out.

I just built one using your design and it turned out great! I attached an old dog kennel to it for their run. So far everyone is happy including Mama. Lol

I'm cheap. I used my kids old playhouse for my chicken coop. Super easy conversion. Hardware cloth over the windows, a new door and nest boxes. Painted the outside the traditional Barn Red, inside had to be all Pink. Pink everything for the girls. No roosters aloud in the hens clubhouse.

I built ours based on this video. Made a lot of changes such as a 6/12 pitch roof, enclosed soffits, hard wired and yes we used the same camera as in this video. This is a great video and I referred to it many times. I’m an mechanical engineer so everything is documented and could be used to duplicate exactly as I think this a great design! I would recommend this to anyone who wants to gets some great ideas. Thanks so much for sharing this!

Great video! BTW, sand with a little granular SweetPDZ makes a superior substrate to straw, wood shavings. The only change I think I'd make to this would be to notch out one side so that I could include a metal deep tray loaded with a layer of sand or/and sweet pdz granules. I like sand as a substrate because all I have to do is use a very long handled metal kitty scoop and scoop out the poop from a droppings tray. The other big advantage is that the sand with a little Sweet PDZ mixed in tends to dry up the droppings almost immediately which helps with the odors and the sweet PDZ mixed in the sand substrate absorbs the ammonia very effectively. Sweet PDZ for the uninitiated is a horse stall referesher made from the mineral zeolite (I think that is the mineral). In any case, there is no issue if the chickens eat it as it is non-toxic. Again, thank you for posting this excellent video and for including your lovely assistant, in the production! ;) Will be making use of this video for a coop I want to build.

looks like an awesome set up you have. we are going on a year since we got our chickens. The kids are still having a blast with it. Its nice to have videos here for new comers to learn from when they buy chicks.

@suzanne2730 4 жыл бұрын

Great build. They sell a fitted foam to close the gap between the roof and framing. Even that small of a gap can be used by some pred. Hens need a certain number of daylight hours to lay eggs. A brooder lamp in fall will extend production levels. Nice details on the build especially like the nesting box lid fitting snug with the box.

Great info on a simple coop build. One pointer I can offer as a poultry keeper for well over 4 decades. If you want to ensure your birds stay in their pen. Clip the wing feathers on the right side of your birds. Simple procedure with regular fiskar scissors or even better, pinking shears. Take each bird in turn extend the right wing and clip feathers about an inch away from wing. What this does is makes them non aero dynamic, lopsided basically. Doesn't harm the bird and keeps them safe from any predators that may be lurking around outside the pen. Once they hit about 2-3 years old they become too heavy to fly and you will no longer need to clip wings. Unless of course you have banties then it's a once yearly procedure. Keep up the great work.

Greetings from Wardner Idaho. Thanks for the Chicken Coop idea. I've been looking all over the Internet and your coop is my favorite. I live up Wardner Canyon on the east side of the mountain. There's nothing but wilderness between my property and Silver Mountain, so all kinds of critters lurking about. Another challenge I have is that I don't receive any sunlight for most of the winter. No Solar up here. God Bless Idaho!
