I love how simple the design is and maximizing the use of all the wood. One thing I’d change is to use a natural stick as a roost as birds often get arthritis from gripping the same girth roosting pole all day and night, something to consider if you love your birds

What would be the best is if there was a list of the supplies you could buy already cut ❤❤❤

This chicken coop is what I have been looking for. I will attempt to build it as instructed and hope it works for me.

Whatever you do, don't try to cut all the stuff out of the first piece of plywood like he says. Look at the backdoor and the floor he has, they are the same length in the picture but different measurements. If you try, you will come up 3 inches short. The instructions on the website in the description lay it out much better.

I found this tutorial and thought it would be easy enough to do myself and a good size for a couple chickens, and it WOULD be good if the instructions weren't repeatedly incorrect. I've bought most of the materials and started making cuts, so at this point I'm committed, otherwise I would not continue making this. I haven't finished, but here are the issues I have come across so far: - Materials lists says to get 3/8-inch exterior rated plywood, but that is not a thickness of treated plywood Home Depot sells and I wasn't able to find it anywhere. - Material list says you need ten 2x4- inch pieces of lumber, I was able to make all the needed cuts with nine - Material list says you need three 1x2-inch pieces of lumber, you need five - Material list says you need 2 galvanized barrel bolts (window bolts), but they are never referenced or used in the instructions, I can't see where they would go in the video or any pictures (the doors are closed with tee hinges) - The graphics showing the 1x2 lumber cuts don't match the instructions or the provided hyperlinked diagrams - The six ramp rungs cuts are listed as being 14 inches and then 4 inches in the instructions I wouldn't recommend trying to just this tutorial unless they make edits to correct it. Also, after researching chickens more this doesn't seem big enough for the 4 chickens its says, unless you bought a smaller bread, the roost is a 2x2 but everything I've seen says they prefer a 4 inch roost and the tee hinges on the doors wouldn't keep any predators out, so the whole coop would need to be protected in other ways.

I love this, I was going to buy a chicken coop last year, but now I want to build my own 😊

Would be nice if you showed the list of things needed in your description too. That way we don't have to keep trying to find it in the video & play/pause/play to get it all copied down

I would love it if your video instructions and written instructions on the website matched 👍

The instructions are excellent for this one. We made one with kids as a summer project.

Amazing Job👍👏🔨!

Anyone here recommend a video to follow if this one is not good? I’m looking to get chickens and need to build a small starter coup

GL

Where can I find a list of wood items to buy?

Ventilation. If you close that up at night they have no ventilation. If they are not in at night, they are in danger of predation.

Since prices have gone up, what would it cost now Sept. 2022 to make this?

I don't believe that 2x2 roost will hold the 30 to 40 lbs of chicken. If this is for 4 chickens...nah. Maybe bantams.

Don't use pressure treated wood for your coup, its bad for your chickens.

I will pass on this

is the instruction legit? i plan to use this build

No door? Say goodbye to your chickens. rip.

Do not try to make this. All of the instructions and materials list are incorrect. Absolutely terrible!!!

Whatever you do don’t follow this guide. It is absolutely awful and will make your very angry. The online guide and video guide tell you different lengths and it’s just not a good time.

No thanks. I think this is a terrible design for many reasons.
