This is our DIY chicken coop. The plans are easy to follow and the materials are pretty cheap. Our chicken coop and run are easy to use with our unique coop door opener. There are a lot of DIY chicken coop ideas and videos showing you how to build one for your back backyard chickens. But, I truly believe the design of our homemade chicken coop and nesting boxes are the best for raising chickens. Our chickens are happy in their new hen house.

Hey neighbor. I love this design! Looks like you don't get the wind we get since you didn't set the posts in the ground. I'm going to be building this starting today with the exception that it will be a little bigger to house all of our birds, the underside will be a goose/duck house and I'll set the posts in concrete.

Over the years, I have seen quite a few different designs. Every thing from a cut up 55 gallon drum to a walk-in facility. Chickens need to hide during the night, water and either heat or ventilation. Feed helps also. Baby chicks need a whole lot more. Looking good so far

Do you have a set of plans for this coop?

@pammccrary7915 4 жыл бұрын

With it that high you need to consider insulating your nesting boxes, floor and rest of sides and top. Yes you need ventilation but not that much without covering most in winter. Will be top heavy and needs to be tied down. Also need a way to scoop out the bedding, makes great compost. Will want way to heat the coop in winter months and window for summer breeze as well.

@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving 4 жыл бұрын

Shouldn’t be a need to insulate the chicken coop unless you live where the temperature drops regularly to -10 degrees and lower. It isn’t that cold here. But we will see next winter how they do.

Like the design. Willing to buy plans with measurements, like the floor height, roof pitch...or a link to the plans you built off of would be great. 👍

@agartin1 2 жыл бұрын

i would venture to guess the floor height is around 40". 36" for clearance for a wheelbarrow then your framing on top of that. he said in the video the roof pitch is a 6:12 pitch and the floor was a 4x8 sheet of plywood with the 4 corners notched for the 4x4 to sit within. and spacing looked like he spaced the boards 24" on center.
