Do you happen to have snow where you live? Also, do you think three nesting boxes would fit in there? I noticed you have two, but I was wondering if three would fit equally thank you so much for this video.

We’re about to purchase the same coop for our four chicks. Just now watching your coop videos. Very well done and informative. It’s been two years. I would enjoy an update on your flock. Hopefully by now, you’re getting eggs. I’m hoping you can video an update. I’d like to see how your TSC coop is holding up to the weather. I can’t decide if I should put mine in a spot similar to yours or put it partially under the back end of our carport in order to protect it a bit from the wind and rain. Your insight would be helpful. We will paint it in its entirety before putting it together. I’m hoping you’ll respond. Thanks again for your thoughts.

My dad grew a locust grove at the back of our farm. We used galvanized mesh flooring, walls and top outside of the roosting coop... and locust poles all the eay around,, and fir siding in the housing coop itself. It was built on a hill so raking out underneath was very easy, and we'd mix the guano with our cow and horse manure and rotting hay for fertilizing our 6 acres of field corn that we'd harvest and grind to feed our chickens.

I completely removed my waste pan. I let the waste just land on the floor then cover with shavings and rake it up. Not sure what the purpose of waste pan is. I added more roosts so they move around. Every coop I have had, I remove the waste pan and let the poop fall to the ground. Cleaner, less smell, breaks down.

I have this coop, painted it the same color too. I built a 2x4 base out of treated lumber and screwed it to that and put wheels on it and handles so I can move it around. I have 6 birds and its a bit tight for them now that they are grown. Overall its a pretty good coop though.

I did the wood base as well. Looks like a raised wood foundation and makes the coop a little taller. Then added hardware cloth to bottom of base. I have 4 hens for now. Sort of wanted to get two more. Mine free range aswell and have a large run. I added four more roosts. If they are there just to sleep maybe its ok?

Beer can chicken and Italian sausage are my favorites. I used to do it on my Weber grill, but I just received a masterbuilt bullet from a couple that's moving and needed it gone. The charcoal door isn't establishing a good seal, and I'm trying to find a good way to establish a seal and allow for greater airflow to the charcoal. Any ideas?

You can use a seal with high temp tolerances or painstakingly bend the edges of the door to make better contact with the smoker body

Just got this coop. I had an awesome Amish-built one but divorce is the mother of invention. LOL. Quick question: when you talk about protecting the floor of the coop, do you think lining it with contact paper might help? I’m willing to try anything that extends the life of a coop while making it easier to clean up chicken *bleep*!
@LayneFamilyFarmstead
@LayneFamilyFarmstead Жыл бұрын
Essentially, yea. The wood in contact with the ground is more susceptible to rot even painted. You can do contact paper. Or, and I’m thinking of this long term. Get some concrete footers, build a basic framed floor with 2x4 and plywood then set the coop on top. If you just wanna predator proof the base for digging. Set the coop on some chicken wire or just welded wire fencing and cover it good to save the chickens from getting caught in it.

We bought this coop. We had no issues with it at first, and it was very pretty after painting it, but it's not working out for us. It's too small, much smaller than it's advertised, and it needs a lot of tweaking to be truly predator-proof. My husband is currently building a new coop out of heavy pallets. We're thinking about using the old one for quail or rabbits, but it'll need some work to keep the bad guys out. I don't think it's worth the money they charge for it at TSC.

I bought a cheap tiny coop from chickencoopoutlet online because it had solid walls not slat pieced walls. The trim is already warping one month in where we had to screw back in the roof trim because they used tiny nails and the hinges that came undone. For the floor I knew just by looking at it that it wouldn't last long as thin as it is so I put down linoleum tiles over it before adding hemp bedding. I got the stick on tiles for $10 for 11 sq ft.

They are selling these for around $30 at lowes. For that price you can do all the best smokers mods available out there and will still be cheaper than any similar unit. It works good, just need a reliable temp gauge. 190 F on mine was around 225 F in reality, and can stay there for hours.
