  1. Good catch! But theirs is way more professional than mine. They have had
    years to improve in my design. And they are professionals!

  2. A very straightforward presentation. The insults aren’t necessary from some
    of the commenters. It is precisely what he states it is. It isn’t meant to
    withstand heavy gunfire, mobs of crazed people wielding brickbats, or
    anything beyond simple weather. It is a blooming henhouse, for crying out
    loud! While different climates and weather conditions will dictate
    modifications, an all around a simple henhouse. The music is a bit
    overpowering, but nice.

  3. cute and looks easy enough for those of us not quite so handy! Music, while
    a nice choice, was overpowering when trying to hear you talk.

  5. Thank you for the chicken coop I want to try building this one. I have a
    temporary coop right now and keeping the chickens in the garage and letting
    them outside when the weathers good…. My husband bought the baby chicks
    before the coop was built so we have them in a dog kennel for now.

  6. Ehhh…props for DIY, but there are a few things that needed to be done
    better. Cuts, squaring everything, better lock method(no screws poking
    through either could cause injury to a chicken).

  7. $150? i make better and bigger for $50-$80. And that is with protected
    wood. not something thats gonna rot. Looks nice though for something
    temporary.

  8. A lot of people get chickens before they have somewhere to put them so
    building a hen house becomes a rush job. This is great if you have limited
    time and resources. If you want regular eggs it is a good investment
