This week Kevin is building a new hoop coop for our ducks and giving the chicken hoop coop some upgrades. We need to keep the animals safe and this should do the trick!

Would love an update on how these hoop coops worked through the winter.

@learninladyhomesteader9374 11 ай бұрын

Hey Kimberly! Not sure if they made a video on that or not, but when I had built these in past, I tacked up tarp over the higher open places too with zip ties, and then just took it down afterwards, and we had snow and everything and ours did fine in there, with their body heat it was nice and toasty. Only thing I would do different after that winter, lol was for winter get the coop near an electric outlet, and buy that water heater thingy that Carolina Coops uses in their big water drums...and feed that in and have the big water thing in the coop/warm enough to not freeze b/c our hoses/nozzles/their waters were freezing every morning and carrying out gallons of water from the house everyday to fill the waterers with got old real quick! Then would just do deep bed method in that hoop coop til snow/cold passes enough, shovel it out into compost when done and move coop after snow part of winter passes. :)

We were in zone 8 though so if Colder....instead of tarp, maybe could try sheet metal or plywood? I dunno if it lasted super long if the tarp would've been good enough for the chickens but the ducks, they were good.

@user-bo1rj2xu2s 10 ай бұрын

@@learninladyhomesteader9374 They did make a video wherein they inserted plywood panels to cover the higher open spaces during the colder months. They think of solutions long before I even know there might be a problem.

Love that the plywood is inside the door! No opening the door to chicken yuck within the frame, when they smoosh into the door while yelling to be let out in the morning. Can you guess how I know this? haha Clever use of materials, all around. Really loved the latch fix/grace space idea in previous video too.

@BriteLake 3 ай бұрын

I wouldn't have cut that billboard material tarp. I would have rolled the ends up on 2x4 strips of wood like a spool, stretched the tarp tight, and fastened the tarp securely at the bottom. That way if you need the tarp in the future for other projects it's still the same size as it was in the beginning.

I did see the silkies. I had 2 white, 1 buff and a black hen. And a black rooster we called dad. He took care of all the chicks and he didn't crow, he opened his beak and made the most awful screech. Once we got used to it, it was really amusing. We had a couple of extra roosters we put in the freezer. Don't bother everything about them is black and tastes horrible. You should get some frizzles, they're great fun! I miss my mini farm. I love your videos, it takes me back.

I really like your hoop coops. Wish our tiny property was bigger so I could do those. We only have 50X100' space including what the old mobile home we live in sets on so limited space, but do meat rabbits, chickens and garden. I did put up cattle panel arched trellises this year for the first time to extend some growing area to vertical. Prayed for you Sarah this morning for the Lord's hand in your healing and for you to be sure to take it easy long enough. Have a great day and thanks for always sharing what you do. Such an inspiration.

Robbie and Gary simple gardening uses tulle fabric wrapped around things to keep out rodents etc. It might help you around the legs of the next boxes. She also uses it to cover veggies when young and birds want to eat them, helps with bugs too. Like moths wanting to lay eggs on tomatoes etch.
