I made a handy phone app called “Sunset Reminder” to remind you to put your chickens away at night. Find it on Google Play or Android Market.
Damn me to hell! Seriously, damn me to hell! But can you spell d-o-w-d-y?
Love your coop, thanks so much for the inspiration. I had watched this last week and it gave me some great ideas 🙂 I was lucky to find a free desk on craigslist and that really helped the building process a lot!
The wire floor is a good idea, but the coop is too light. It needs to be dark inside, for roosting and egg laying. You could have a sliding tray under the coop to catch the droppings, for easy removal. The nest tray/box needs to be stable, not easily tipped or you might find the eggs rolling around on the wire, broken, and that leads to egg eating.
This only works a small scale.
do you really have a working tv for you gurls
I Love your coop!!!! The cleanest I have seen….Good Job 🙂
I was told we have one of the cleanest ‘deluxe’ chicken coops by my brother-in-law. But hands down, you win–our chickens don’t have T.V. That is wonderful !
y ou need to free range those chickens. Sometimes you can get free bread crumbs at processing plants.

In San Bernardino, there are definitely possums and racoons in the city. I think there are fewer in the desert, but you have coyotes and foxes,etc.
good chook house, you could could park a wheelbarrow under the perch area to catch the poop and that would save having to collect it, or a shade cloth sling underneath with two wooden battens on either end to facilitate transfer of the poop to where you want it. I love the door arrangement that leads into the bigger yard, 1 door doing 2 jobs :-). Well done.
nice door cage.
Dear… if you have to sweep poop, it’s not self-cleaning.
I don’t think such a thing exists, really. Most coops have wire for the floor so that the leavings can fall. It’s not that you did a poor job of making your coops, (on the contrary, they’re nice!) it’s that they’re not self cleaning.
thanks for your lovely comment. great use of the old dog kennels and runs!! hope nan gets lots of eggs!!
nice coop and lovely hens you have. My nan wants chickens in our garden however she is not planning on building or buying a coop. What she does want to do is transform our old dog kennels and outside runs in to coops. We will have a family member build boxes for the sheds and she said she would put plenty of straw and hay in the outside runs that are connected to the sheds. I like your coop
Supprisingly the aritficial landscapes and back alleys + trash recepticals= even in the desert give the raccoon menace awesome places to hide/survive. here in mid Cal, the ones that call my neighborhood, home, make their rounds at least every 3 nights. Started with a mama then a mama and babies hitting the cat feeder and tossing the trash every now and then. we had 2 hens pulled thru the side of the coop in one night. fixed with a simple wood fence at least 20 ” on eather side of the roost.
I just moved to so. cal. and was wondering if there are racoons and opposums here. I have seen no evidence of them here in the desert. I like the idea of the wire for air circulation
hahahahahahahaah….you ar sooooooo funny
I placed a box of 2×4 lumber under the roosting area. Placed some soil, and added red worms. I never have to clean up the chicken poop. And my fishermen friends loved to pick up red worms from me.
Here in california that wire bottom not enclosed would prove disasterious as racoons and possums would probably drag the chickens off theyre perch thru the bottom wire piece by piece. I just hope no wallabie goes agro.
this is awesome
Great idea! I love chicken wings soooo much!
What’s the deal with the TV? Don’t brainwash God’s creatures, they’ll want IPhones and McDonald burgers, and what if they happen to catch “How it’s made: Chicken Sandwich. LoL Thanks for the upload.
Hey. You are kind of interesting. Can I take you out for a spot of tea?
