Matt does a walk-through of an American Coop and shows what features come standard in our most popular chicken coop. There are new upgrades that will now be included in this 6' x 12' walk-in chicken coop.
The back henhouse doors were upgraded with windows, the deep litter bed and egg hutch comes with high-density polyethelene, and the ladder from the run to the henhouse was redesigned.
Our American Coop is our most popular selling chicken coop and is suitable for up to 16 full-sized chickens with free ranging. It has two 6-foot roost bars in the henhouse and is 7' tall at the peak. Like all our chicken coops, the American Coop is predator proof and built to last a lifetime. Our signature deep litter beds means no cleaning out the henhouse for at least a year or longer. This chicken coop comes with a variety of different options, please check our website for pricing. We ship worldwide!

I have noticed when you are talking about litter and nesting materials you do not stress the need for using different materials. I have had chickens off and on for over 40 years. Now, I did not come up with on my own, but my Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles shared their experience with me. If you are using shavings for instance in the run, the reason you do not want it in the nest boxes, is that it confuses the girls. They do not see the difference as to the place, just the material. Therefore you will have a higher instance of eggs on the floor. This also is most important if you are free ranging your birds. Part of the reason for lower egg count when free ranging is the availability of the grass that they are browsing in, so they lay their eggs in that. At least this has been our experience. We use golden comets, a sex link because of their egg count, 280 to 320 plus per year. They are an extra large to jumbo brown egg. Because they lay so many eggs you need to keep oyster shell for calcium and cherry stone for grit, even if you are free ranging. For cleaning poly carbonate or plexiglass, SO NOT USE WINDEX OR ANY OTHER GLASS CLEANER WITH AMMONIA OR AMMONIA D. It will cloud the plastic and make it look foggy. Ammonia sort of melts the plastic to give it that look. We use vinegar and water for cleaning all windows. Works good for all types of stain removal too. I enjoy your videos greatly for info not only for the coops, but on birds too. You see even at 68 yrs old, I still keep learning from and sharing with others. God bless and keep up the fine work you are doing. Al Hough, Onawa, Iowa

@@KrazyKajun602 I have found that hatcheries in my area can be a great source of information. Their advice can be helpful as to birds that are heat resistant. Rhode Island Reds or Whites are a good all around bird for my area. I don't t know about extreme heat like yours. Local old timers in your area are also a wonderful source. I used t raise Cornish rock cross birds for meat birds, since we sold them semi-commercially. You might also consider Pekin ducks since they are excellent layers and are good meat birds.

I am new to raising Chickens, learning all I can before making the leap. My wife, and I are looking for our forever home in the country, with several acres of land. We plan to build a coop. with attached run. and I think if at all possible we will be getting one of the American Coops in 6 foot by 18 foot. I want to let you know the new rear coop doors are an awesome idea. Windows to let in day light, and they open from the bottom, swing up to allow airflow, and rain protection, plus you don't have to look for a place to store the removable door panels. I think your Chicken Coops, and Runs are the best kit out there for those of us looking for a quality Chicken forever home.

I use pine shavings under the straw because it helps absorb any moisture and if a chook breaks an egg in the nesting box, it also helps to minimise the mess. Pine shavings are also great for reducing the awful smell, and are great for making compost when you clean out the coop.

That edge can be sharp. Even in your video you show how the kids open the door and look in there. Even in the video, the kids' heads are inches from that potentially sharp edge.

Hi Laurie, we don't recommend sand in the run for a few reasons. Chickens are woodland creatures and need their environment to mimic that, so they can dig, forage for bugs, and dust bathe. Also there are beneficial microbes in the soil that isn't there in sand. Secondly, there is no reason to have to clean your coop daily. We take all those chores out of chicken keeping. No one wants to scoop chicken poop every day. So to make it easy for the people and much more healthy and beneficial to chickens, ditch the sand, and put in dirt, leaves, grass clipping, wood chips, any natural, organic material you can find. Thanks for watching.

Love you coops. I noticed on this coop... the side where the main doors to the hen house are. There's that little bit of space between the framing and the doors, both swinging doors and drop down door. That little space could cause drafts. But I've noticed in more recent videos on the inside of the hen house, there seems to be plywood over the framing that produces a slightly extended lip or edge, about an inch. So when you close the doors that lip blocks the cracks and thus blocks drafts. Is this a change/upgrade you've made over time?

DE will not harm the chickens/ also would put a little organic vinegar in their water every once in a while if they look like they were stressed. my father always had very healthy chickens and very good layers also. coops always neat and clean.

So the videos definitely help!. I will definitely need to hire y'all for the installation. 1 question is it better to set it on flat earth ground or to set it on bricks or concrete foundation and put soil down? Sorry if you mentioned it in video, I watched to the very end and did not hear this information.

We use lemon pledge on aircraft windscreens and canopies, prevents scratching. Spray on first, work it around with your fingers to break up dirt and bugs, then use a rag to wipe off. Never use a dry rag on a dry surface or with visible dirt present. All that being said, I have no idea how well lemon pledge would interact with a chicken coop and chickens.

But many people buy cheap coops and have to replace them each year, plus they lose birds to predators. We know all our customers have thought it was worth it though. :)

Are the hardware cloth screwed on with screws and washers or are they stapled. Screws and washers are best to keep predators out and washed sand is better than composed material it is easier to clean. And sweet coop by the chicken chick is best for the droppings boards if you have that too.

Hi Diana. Thank you for your comments, however, we respectfully disagree on all your points. No predator has gotten into our coops through the hardware cloth because we use quality strong gauge PVC coated wire. To your second point, chickens don't live naturally on the beach and sand doesn't promote beneficial microbes or harbor bugs that chickens need and want to eat. We also don't agree with the dropping boards, we like the deep litter system, which is easy and healthiest for your flock. Our methods make chicken keeping so much easier than what you are describing, and it makes for a healthy and safe flock.

Do the chicken 🐓🐔 like such a long steep ramp up to the door? What about the small chicks that cannot make that mountain to the floor of the chicken 🐔 palace?

I would love it even more if the plexi on the windows was put on from behind/inside the frame instead of in frontoutside so you don't see the edges and the screws.

Thank you for your comments. We used to put the polycarbonate inside the windows, (like a traditional window) but in an effort to keep the costs down we started doing it this way. It also has an added benefit as allowing water to run off and not seep in anywhere.

I think a hanging chain would be better than those dowe rods which give to much leverage to the window, high winds could damage the hinges maybe?

What about a mobile coop? Do you have anything. I plant alot of cover crops for my garden plots and would like one to move easy around the plots.

@CarolinaCoopsVideos Жыл бұрын
Hi Wayne, we have made this model in a mobile style, but our experience is that for laying hens, a stationary coop is best with free ranging.

Just learned from another site, that chickens don't like poles for roosting. THey prefer flat. wide planks, to walk on, lean on. That chicken coop looks too small. How did it turn out?
@CarolinaCoopsVideos
@CarolinaCoopsVideos 4 жыл бұрын
Hi Allat, we have been in the chicken business for over a decade and we have researched what chickens need extensively. Chickens naturally would roost in the trees, so it makes sense that chickens would want a rounded roost bar. Also a flat wide plank does not allow for their feet to naturally curve and hold onto the roost, so whatever you read doesn't make sense to us. In addition, we do not feel that a 6x12 coop with a 4x6 henhouse is small for chickens. We also always encourage free ranging. Thank you for watching.
