Love the shelving idea.

Awesome. We just moved ours to accommodate the new chickens. It’s held up well. I hope yours works out well also.

Thank you for watching.

Thank you I hope it works well for you.

Yes I believe it was. Like you, I try hard to use what I have on hand. Good luck with your build. I move my coop after a year or so and plant tomatoes and peppers in its place.

I hope it works as well for you as it does for us.

I've seen them on Craigslist and you may check Facebook market place. You may check into a sign shop. One that makes signs for businesses and such.

We just our first snow storm that I can remember. We don't get snow.

We found ours on Craigslist.

Thank you. It has held up well.

They do dirty the water some. We usually clean it out weekly.

Thank you, God bless.

Thank you.

Thank you

Thank you. It has held up well.

The cattle panels I used were 16'x50". Panels come in different widths but a generally always 16' long. Thank you for your question. I am sorry I haven't done a video on the roost. I will build another soon and will video it. Have a blessed day.

@@faithfamilyfarmfood thank you! We are working on ours tomorrow

Thank you. There are currently 40 plus chicks growing out. Several will be moved to give the others room. We built a “new” coop out of an old stock trailer and the older hens are loving it.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mt6fiNx1v8rGn6M.html this is a link to the uni-seal video that goes with the waterer. For the water I did it two different ways. First is just a horse waterer for stalls. The other is a waterer float valve for a trough installed onto a fence feeder for goats or pigs. I really like the idea of the uv tent cover thanks for sharing it. As far as fencing wire im getting away from chicken wire and leaning more towards 1/2x1/2 galvanized hardware cloth or even 1/2x1 cage wire. More expensive but also more predator resistant.

The design wasn’t intentional that is just how it worked out. I wouldn’t change anything because it’s been very functional and is still in use. Yes, it it made with 2 by 3. Thank you for watching and commenting.

They just fly up there. They were able to reach the roost fairly young.

I put up a wind break. Just a piece of ply wood. They did great and we didn’t lose a one. We kept plenty of food and water out.

@@faithfamilyfarmfood Wonderful! It was brutally cold!

I used 4 but you can easily add or take away to make the size you need. It has held up better than expected. We had a strong wind storm that blew over our Rabbit hutches and it only took the roof covering off which was easy to put back. We did reinforce the roof covering with straps.

Thank you.

They are your standard 16 ft long.

We average between 15-25

Ours are not free range currently.

Thank you so much for watching and visiting our channel. The roost is attached to the cattle panel on one side using plumbers tape looped around wire to form a hinge. The other side is supported by paracord suspended from the top. The thought is that when cleaning the coop or spreading sand or hay I can raise the roost and tie it off in the raised position until i am finished. I hop this helps.

@@faithfamilyfarmfood Thanks so much. I finished mine this past weekend

Thank you for your reply and viewing our channel. When we clean we raise the roost and tie it to the cattle panel until we are done. If you put down a bedding of hay like we do, invest in a hay fork (pitch Fork). I will often park my tractor bucket just outside the door. basically we just scoop out the old bedding and put down new. If your able, i suggest moving the coop periodically. I hope this helps.

It’s made from bill board sign material.

I used plumbers strapping which is a thin metal material with holes plumbers use to support pipe. It’s cheap and can be purchased at almost any hardware store.

Just fold it over the wire on the cattle panel and screw it to the roost. Hope this helps.

@@faithfamilyfarmfood thank you! It does.

Craigslist 😊

I used a product called plumbers tape which is actually a metal in a roll for a few dollars. It bends easily and had many uses.

Around the Lake Livingston area. It’s beautiful and the fishing is good.
