I love your coop!! Did you get an automatic door yet? We are loving ours my
hubby just bought me!
Wow. You can do anything. I’m all thumbs when it comes to building. Very
nice chicken house.
I love your design. You did a top notch job explaining how you built it.
Anyone could follow your conversation to build their house. I learned a
few things to add to my plans. I did catch one thing you might want to
modify on your design on the roof. Being a ex-roofer, I noticed your
shingles are very close to the wood. Water coming down a roof will leach
backward up underneath and can rot the wood. I would take 1/2 a shingle
and slide it under the edge of the roof and leave it out away from the roof
edge by 1 inch. This will protect your facer boards. Just a thought.
Thanks
I had a mean rooster I named him “soup” 😉 Yum he was good
wonderful job. I have to built one this Spring. So I wanted to get some
tips from you.
excited to be back and wacthing videos again. Hoping your not buried in
snow.
A chicken fortress! All them feisty birds need now is chicken poop cannons
I have watched your video several times. I live in South Louisiana and
learned to tape and float sheetrock after Hurricane Katrina flooded my
home. I am planning to make a coop for the two little Bantams that my
brother gave me. Now they are living in a tarp covered 5 foot tall dog pen.
Thank you for such an encouraging video.
Great job! It looks almost professional!
the nailer boards should have been set into the 4 x 4’s making them flush
for better nailing of the wire.
wow, excellent!!!
In a word “Impressive!
My sister has about 30 and everyday she spends at least 30-45 minutes just
sitting in the pen and watching them. A lot of “chicken pen politics” go
on. You’d be amazed at their little chicken society. They really do have a
pecking order!!
Just wondered where this is? There doesn’t seem to be any concessions made
to the weather. I live in St. Augustine, fl. and am ready to build and like
your design, but wonder about ventilation and insulation. Do you get any
temp. extremes where you are.? If you are close enuf to me could I come
visit if I get in a bind?
I am not doing anywhere at good as you – this is sooo frusterating never
having done anything like this before – can you tell me how is the door
made.. do you have 2×4 on the backside?
holy moley, you are an inspiration and def a motivator! I’ve been trying to
work out in my mind a design for my little gardens that will conserve water
IN the garden instead of it running out to the yard. compared to this
project, mine is minor!
Thank you, the chicken house has worked out well.
What a great job you did.
imstillworkin, you have a beautiful chicken house, why it is nice enough to
be used as a bug out retreat:) Very nice workladyship, and it does help.
God bless you and yours !
The wood has been treated to resist rotting while it is exposed to the
elements outdoors. They call it “salt treated wood”.
I’ve thought that this design could be used for something like that. The
storage area could be used as a loft for a bed and there’s enough room for
most essentials in there.
Thank you, the hard part was figuring out just how I wanted that chicken
house and where I wanted it. I’m happy to say that I don’t have any
regrets. It’s worked out nicely and it’s close enough to the house that I
can keep an eye on the chickens.
You did a fine job building that coop..
Out of square after the fact ain’t so bad but out of square while you’re
doing it sure makes life hard, lol.
Thanks, I’m surprised I remembered how I built it. I usually can’t remember
what I did yesterday.
Hmmm…guess we’re all getting our education via utube!! I did the exact
same thing the other day when I was sewing some maternity pants for my
daughter…heeheee….I was cutting down a ready made pair of pants and
sewing a belly band to them and stopped and got on utube to see how it was
finished out. Worked perfectly!! Oops…we’ve let our little secret out
now…..
