I would suggest putting in a piece of linoleum to make cleaning out the coop easier and I would also put a piece of screen on that window so nobody could get in or out.

When I saw this video, it honestly reminded me of all the obstacles I come across when I have projects going on. 😁😁 it's awesome to see how he doesn't hide his issues while building something like most do. 😁 they make it seem so easy, but once you get hands-on, it sucks when you hit obstacles. Awesome video!!😊

This is absolutely the! best! chicken coop build I have ever seen so far! Excellent craftsmanship, high quality, and very spacious!!! Love this build!❤

Came for the diy chick coop ideas and subbing for cool relaxed vibe of the video. Currently working on my own homestead and couldn’t help but notice the colors you choose for your home. I’m going with something similar as well. Lots of similarities. Keep up the good work 👌🏽

You might want to get a latch You could put a carabiner on raccoons have no problem with barrel bolts. Nice build! Great job.

You might want to attach 18 inch width of horizontal hardware cloth along the outside on the ground to keep animals from digging under the edge of the coop.

In the future you want to strip the perch wood, the bark can be a haven for mites that can effect the chickens.

Good job! I like how the style of the mid-century modern style of the chicken house matches the architectural style of your home.

You have great carpenter skills

Nice. Thank you. Loved the 3 video s... Godbless

May God protect you all good work

Excellent execution and architecturally pleasing. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

that little boy is absolutely adorable

Brilliant job! We are planning one of a very similar shape and style, thanks for the inspiration.

Came for the DIY chicken coop. Now I'm watching all the videos and subscribing! love this way of life and glad to see the kids being a part of it! Keep up the good work man!

Next up nesting boxes, great job,loved the recycle/upcycle parts

With egg price skyrocketing at lightening speed, it's time to start to utilize our backyards, Thank you so much for the step by step video, I am planning to build mine on a trailer frame due to hurricane so I can move them in the shed when required.

Папа обязательно должен сделать домик детям, они такие радостные))))))

Just don't leave anything leaning against the coop on the nest box side or racoons could get in. They can unlock those types of latches.

4:10 The best ramp to use for a chicken coop is a 2x8 with 1/2 groves ever 2 inches. No nail required 👍🏼

Great job on the build! Awesome coop, for sure.

I’m surprised you spent $500! It seemed like the only new materials were hardware cloth, closures, and some minimal lumber at the beginning. Makes me a little nervous for building my own coop down the line. Fantastic ideas here, love the use of recycled materials, and it looks beautiful and functional

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but chicken's legs are built differently than other traditional birds, their knees do not lock into place and circular roosting bars can be uncomfortable to them and may cause bumble foot. I probably haven't explained this properly, but there are some videos out there that explain why a rounded roosting bar might be uncomfortable for a chicken and not a parakeet

Excellent job dude. I have been watching chicken coop videos for years since I have chickens and you have my vote for best built and functional coop. Job well done.

Next time, on you door, trim it at an angle to close the gap. You are trimming for the swing of the door so only the leading side needs to be trimmed.

Well done! Thank you for sharing. :)

If you have trouble with animals digging under and eating chickens staple the hardware cloth to the bottom and run it out a couple feet. Digging it down is best as predators usually see a wall and dig right at the wall to get under. I love your run and coop ❤ safe chicken keeping my friend!

Amazing work!

I just subscribed to your channel, you are very talented and I will be building the same chicken coop in the next couple of weeks. Keep up the amazing work

I love this build ! I'm doing one today and glad I saw your ideas 💡 well done ! We have predators as we are in yhe woods

Muy bueno el proyecto, lo vi desde el comienzo. Yo lo hubiese instalado más lejos de la casa familiar (por los olores). Otro tema a tener en cuenta, es mucho cuidado con la gripe aviar.

did you end up putting hardware cloth to cover the window? thats the only thing i would definitely do for this one. really love the whole thing. will definitely be drawing inspiration from it

That size tree branch was perfect for a roosting perch, but you can also use a small round post from TS or another agriculture supply store. I used a skinny round post I paid seven bucks for. Their feet wrap perfectly around it and is very stable for them balance wise.

Awesome bro. Cheers

Great series, had to sub! Beautiful family.

Muito Legal 👍🏻

Hi good morning, your coop looks very nice. i found out that the chickens are more confortabile and bslanced better on a 2×8 perch than a 2×4

Excellent video production/editing, groovy music, joyful children, love shining everywhere. And a grand chicken mansion. Super cool, dude!❤

Looks good

Những ý tưởng rất tuyệt vời sản phẩm của bạn rất độc đáo mình rất thích những công việc bạn đang làm mình sẽ bấm đăng ký để xem tiếp những video sau của bạn.Dù bạn là người ở quốc gia nào thì mình cũng muốn được làm quen để giao lưu với bạn ❤❤❤Chúc bạn mạnh khỏe để làm nhiều video hay hơn ❤❤❤😅

Ahh yes the gentle sound of a Phillips screw head stripping 😋

Do you have any written plans for the coop? measurements and materials list? Looks great!!

This is giving me the confidence for my coop and run build in the next couple months! Using an old shed right now but it's just awful lol. Amazing build! 👏 😊

You also have to put something down, which prevents predators digging to get into the coop.

Amazing craftsmanship! That coop would cost several thousand dollars if purchased from a builder, especially if they used new materials. Then moving would be a nightmare....good job!!!!

nice dude!

❤️

nice!

Hello ! Very Cool Your Chicken Coop! However, there are some details that can be improved such as: - The perches must be rustic (not smooth), but they must not have bark, as this favors the proliferation of ectoparasites; - These same perches, if possible, should be placed in a small extension to the chicken coop, Covered and Their Sides Protected from the Weather. This greatly facilitates the collection of feces, in addition to increasing the longevity of "soil beds". The perches should have a maximum diameter of 4 cm, 30 cm apart (And 30 cm from the ground to the first perch), 20 cm laterally (for each bird), Maximum height of 120 cm and maximum angle of 45º (To avoid bruises that can become serious problems on the feet of birds when they "land" if they jump from the highest perch). If possible, let them graze in paddocks with grass and green leaves, as they love it, make them happier and less stressed so, Without a doubt, they will produce more and better eggs. That’s It ! Good luck ! Ed São Paulo, SP Pindorama

I love your coop. This looks better than the Carolina Coops! Question- With the open windows along the top around the henhouse, does heat escape and get cold in the winter?

Nowadays! How's it going? Any improvements or anything you would like to change?

You are a lucky man

Deep Litter 👍🇦🇺 do they wrap there feet around the perch or just sit flat, on a flat surface ???

Your roost bars are better than anything out there, I made mine from treated wood I had thrown around, im building my roost hangers out of metal, your coop looks very nice

Great v video

Very nice! What’s the type of nail gun you used?

Curious as to what predators you worry about if any. I have hawks and built 2 chicken tractors that allow me to free range in my urban back yard. Hawk proof and movable on a daily basis to keep them on fresh grass and saving feed costs.

Brad Nailer, that was my film name in a previous life.

Those brad nails will eventually decay. You should have really used screws or at least galvanized nails

Might have missed it but what did you do about the nesting boxes?

I wanna see your version of role away nesting box 😅

Underground protection?

fabulous i will try this can you please share complete dimensions

U may want to add windows or vents for air.

Good job! And for the eggs? 😊

That's a very beautiful coop and run! I love all the ventilation under the eaves of the roof! Do you have hardware cloth bolted over it so predators can't get in? I can't see. Chickens prefer to roost standing on the wide flat side of a 2x4 so they can set down and let their feathers cover their feet to keep them warm, and because it's more comfortable than standing on a rounded surface. I think raccoons can open barrel latches. If there's daylight showing between the vertical boards on the sides of the coop, it's too drafty. But overall it looks fantastic!

What are the dimensions or this coop, and it's running area?

I know cedar shavings are bad for chickens not sure about lumber though

No laying boxes?

$10 for a 2*4!! It's like $4 here.

did i miss the nesting boxes

But what about their nesting boxes? Where will they lay their eggs?

Hello, did you previously work in Plantation 24H?

Noce coop, but unless you have some kind of hookup I don’t know how that was only $500? Hardware cloth alone is $160 for 100’. Cedar is ridiculously high, like $3~ a linear foot. Still a nice coop though.

No nesting boxes?

You should wear safety classes you’ll thank yourself in the long run so you don’t lose an eye

How about the egg nests?

Where do I find a man who will build this for me?

👍👍👍🐦🐥🐤🐓😊🙏

Curious about the nest boxes? I've added the build here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b6qfarKHsbvJcmw.html

Watch Part 1 all the way to 3..🙏

reminds me of attack on titan

chickens rest better on flat roosting bars as they are not actually birds that grip like most birds in the wild

Bet $ this guy drives a Subaru

Republic of China

Goof job.

Is because you are not for that. I have 10 chicken coops and I will add more

nice coop, cringe "power" tools

Ang on - what about foxes digging under the fence etc did you put wire on the ground i didnt see
