Introducing our new California Coop. This tiny coop has all the same great features and quality construction of all our other coops, just with a smaller footprint. It's only 4' x 9' with a 3' x 4' henhouse, perfect for people with small backyards and small flocks. This chicken coop can house 4 or 5 full-sized chickens comfortably or more for bantams. Matt goes through all the features of the Cali Coop and shows some improvements made in the development of this coop that will be incorporated in our American Coops. The California Coop incorporates the deep litter system, is made from premium Douglas Fir lumber, has polycarbonate windows, a 2-gang egg hutch, a 4-foot roost bar, half inch PVC coated hardware cloth, and Galvalume roofing. Same great quality in a small coop with a small price tag.
UPDATE: Our California Coop now comes with HDPE standard in the henhouse and egg hutch which and the price has increased since the filming of this video.

In preparing to build my own coop (and during the build) I've watched these videos so many times. Last night I was down in the basement working on a frame for the roof, and I could hear this video playing upstairs--my stepdaughter with severe autism had seen this so often that she put it on when she got on KZfaq lol. She loves familiarity, and will watch things over, and over bc of the comforting feeling. I had just watched sooo many Carolina coop vids (multiple times) that they fulfilled that for her I guess lol. Thought it was really cute, wanted to share.

I'm building mine right now and I too have modeled mine off of one of their coops. A 4'x6' coop and a 12' run. 6' tall walls for the run and 7.5' overall height. I put linoleum tile in my coop to protect the wood and I've also insulated the coop floor and will insulate the walls as well, using left over Rockwool Insulation that I have! I'm also going to add tile to the first foot inside the walls, so the bedding won't penetrate into the wood where there's contact.

Here is an idea- Drill the dowel and attach it to the carabiner with a little bungee cord. When the carabiner is used to keep the window closed the dowel stays with it and the opposite when you use the dowel to hold the window open the carabiner is with it. The become one unit that always has its place.

Matt, that price is a bargain!!! I decided I wanted some chickens, looked at some of the coops from tractor supply and though just as you did they were junk. So I saw some of your videos and thought I could save a few dollars trying to build one as nice as yours (even though I don’t have that much experience with construction I was sure I could build one better than the store coops) plus I needed a project for the holidays-mine is 4x4 like this one. While it is much better than a store bough coop, I know it’s not as nice as yours and here is the kicker, I didn’t save any money. The money I have in materials alone are more than the price of your coop. I wish I had seen this smaller coop when I was looking at your videos originally, I probably would have gotten one. I have a lot more respect for the craftsmanship that goes into your coops lol.

@CarolinaCoopsVideos
@CarolinaCoopsVideos 4 жыл бұрын
Our metal roofing does not heat up the coops, in fact it does just the opposite. Metal has a low thermal mass, heat is not absorbed into the roofing material and then transmitted into the coop. In fact, the Florida Solar Energy Center states that metal roofing absorbs about 34 percent less heat than asphalt shingles. The painted metal roofs are even more energy efficient that plain metal roofing. (yes, even black roofing!) These roofs not only reflect solar energy, but also re-emit most of the solar energy that the coop absorbs. Keep in mind, the chickens are in the henhouse to lay and sleep. Our covered runs help provide cool shade in the hot summer. Thanks for your question.

We don't, however, we advise people who have young birds that aren't laying to close off the nest boxes, either screw in a piece of plywood or cut a piece of cardboard to cover it up. Then they learn to go on the roost bars at night. Once they are laying they will instinctively go in the nest box. The are creatures of habit, so if they have good habits from the beginning, they should continue on with them. I don't know of any of our customers having issues with hens sleeping in the nest boxes.

Hi Theresa. This henhouse is 4 foot wide, and we only put one roost bar in there, because it's only 3 foot deep. We want the chickens to have enough room to be on the roost bar and for their dropping to hit the deep litter bed and not another roost bar or chicken. The worst thing you can do is to overload a henhouse. We love the one-foot rule for chickens on the roost bar, but 10 inches is good too. We want to create an environment that is healthy for your chickens. Thanks for watching.

Carolina Coops Videos Our beginning goal is to start with six since that’s the minimum we can order. Whenever an adult hen gets broody we’ll enter more into the flock. As of right now we cannot free range but my goal is to do that netted chicken garden that was featured in one of your other videos so we can sort of free range. It’s going to be about 12-18 months before we can even purchase one of the coops, we were thinking the American since it’s not that much more but I’ve always had the belief buy the best and biggest in case your needs grow. Husband do thinks this coop and we’re done but everyone says you get a little four hen flock you’ll get more and more... I know for dang sure he won’t be okay getting the California coop and then in a year or two have to get a bigger one. 😅

We have our coops in every state in the U.S., so many are in states with harsh winters, this coop is just a smaller version of our popular American Coop. Plus with our winter storm shields to keep out blowing snow, this coop and all our coops can handle the harshest winters. Hope that helps.

We considered and decided that it really didn’t look good because of the smaller size on the back of the henhouse. Also there is already lots of ventilation we felt it was better to keep the price down. If customers wanted to pay for it we would definitely build them what they want.

@@xtaticca Hi Sean, we wanted to get the price down, however, the materials we use didn't allow for it and we have since added food safe high density polyethene in the henhouse and egg hutch. So that raised the price. We handpick and only use the best lumber which unfortunately does not allow us to make this quality coop any less expensive.

We use Sherwin Williams exterior paint for our coops. Of course it's best to paint the coops before your chickens take up residence, and since it's exposed to the open air there is no concern about fumes or off gassing. Hope that helps.
