@@terryburton971 You could certainly “shorten” it and have just one panel. That is one thing I love so much about this, it’s so versatile! Various sizes and uses! We’ve had customers use them as hoop coops, as a run for existing coops, or as a stationary coop.

@@larryallen9404 Thank you! The wheels are small, but mighty! We tried our best to source materials to keep costs low while not sacrificing quality. These wheels are from Harbor Freight and actually work really well!

@@CottonRiverFarm You're welcome. One thing I have learned as an engineer, there is no such thing as a "perfect" design but one can still appreciate an excellent effort... Good job!

@@larryallen9404 My dad has been in the construction business since he was a teenager and my brother is a PE. Their knowledge is invaluable on builds like this! 🥰

@@CottonRiverFarm Obviously there were profound thoughts involved. Again, Good job!

@@CottonRiverFarm If in the future you decide to market your design, you definitely have an edge... Good luck to you!

My daughter asked for a bunny for her birthday this year. We love our plush lop bun + we also have several wild bunnies that live in the yard.

@@geekchick4859 Cyclones are definitely not something we have to deal with in Georgia, USA. Tornado, severe storms, and tropical storms yes, but not cyclones!

@@CottonRiverFarm um…yeah, you do. I. The pacific they’re cyclones, Indian they’re typhoons and Atlantic they’re hurricanes. All the same thing.

@@geekchick4859 I should clarify, I am aware of the precautions needed for all of those types of storms. My brother lives on the coast so definitely familiar with hurricanes. In the part of Georgia where I live we RARELY see hurricanes because we are far inland. So I don’t have to worry about making those type of preparations for a chicken coop. So although I know there are things you can do for preparations, I can’t share any advice on that being as I haven’t done it personally.

This type of coop does require semi flat land to operate well. Although our predator apron also helps in situations where the land isn't completely flat. Terrain is definitely a factor!

@@furryplantsandcoins9070 YES! It also works as a greenhouse! We are working on plans for one also, it’s only the inside and nesting box that changes.

@@lorijonerad857 Wow!! Laying at 18 weeks is fantastic! We have some new spring chicks that we added to our flock this year and we have one out of 14 that have started to lay. It’s one of our Dominques. We’ve been keeping chickens for years and that first egg feeling never gets old! I LOVE the names of your girls, so many good names! I’ve started to relinquish the naming as my 5 year old has become more “decisive” with names. We have some “interesting” ones now, but very heavy on the Disney themes! 😂

@@CottonRiverFarm Most of their names are my aunts and grandmas and my mom. We got four eggs yesterday! I sent the link to your blueprints to my husband. Hopefully we will be getting them soon ☺️ P. S. I am also a daughter of Jesus ❤️🙏🏻

@@lorijonerad857 I love that they are family names also. 🥰 Four eggs is awesome, especially for a newbie flock of layers!! Let me know if you have questions!! P.S. I am always happy to “meet” others that have chosen to live for the LORD. I am a fantastic chicken keeper, but the world of social media and building websites has a STEEP learning curve. I couldn’t have done any of it without His guidance and provision. 🙏🏻

@@NoraToal We got my daughter a rabbit for her birthday about a month ago. We built a rabbit hutch for him. We are definitely still learning as this is a new animal for us! Our chickens do a great job of eating the weed seeds + improving the soil of our field, which we love!

@@lauravastag8587 Thank you so much!

@@paulastout5258 Thank you! Our flock is so happy in our coop! We live on 40+ acres so we definitely have room to free range and we are thankful!

Great but stop stealing years my Nana would say😂😂😂😅😮

@@zellalynch3436I’ve never heard that saying. I might need Nana to explain it to me! 😂

@@josephbeck3404 She is an Exchequer Leghorn. She is a new (to us) breed that we added this year. We got her from Meyer Hatchery this spring and she truly is stunning. She also has a great personality and all the good attributes of a Leghorn. We will definitely be getting more next Spring!

@@sylviamurphy1095 I love making chicken keeping easier and this coop has been WONDERFUL for our flock! Thank you for the feedback!

Thank you for watching!!

@@beverlysmith2640 Our chickens live in this coop year round! The ventilation is perfect in summer! We do cover part of the end walls in clear tarp or plastic sheets to block direct wind in winter. Chickens do a great job of keeping themselves warm. The key is good ventilation while blocking the direct wind!

@@joannemonroe2505 That is great! Be sure to check out our build videos! Reach out if you have questions!

@@mikepage9520 Our wheel system makes it easy to move the coop around to fresh grass when needed!

@@smiley9872 Thank you!

@@11hourpower41 All items mentioned are covered in the video. We do realize sometimes it’s easy to overlook when you are going through a build. That is one great thing about the video, it’s always for reference if you need to go to review. We are also happy to answer questions or provide clarification, just shoot us an email. We pride ourselves on responding to questions in a timely manner. Thank you for the feedback and will keep those points in mind for future build videos!

Somehow I missed this message! Most chicken breeds are cold hardy and really don't need our help to stay warm as long as they are protected from direct wind. They do a great job of fluffing up their feathers and trapping warm air against their body. We do add clear tarps or plastic sheeting on parts of the end walls to block direct wind. Ventilation is still important, even in the winter. You don't want to have a drastic difference in temperature between the outside and inside of the coop as it can shock their system. Increased humidity also increases the risk of frostbite on combs, wattles + toes. However, you can easily hang a radiant heater or heat lamp from the cattle panels if desired.

@@meady50 We love our chickens and wish everyone could have them! That is what I love so much about the hoop coop, it really reduces the amount of time needed to care for and clean the coop. I don’t mind roosters at all, but I might not be the person to ask because I also don’t mind guineas! 😂 Have you considered quail? They have less space requirements and aren’t AS loud as chickens. It’s a much softer crow. Although they don’t tend to be as “personable” as chickens.

@@Rang89 thank you! I do love chicken keeping and sharing ways to make it easier.

@@harley475 I am a wonderful chicken keeper, but learning the “technology” side of video editing has been a steep learning curve. I will remember that next time. What sounds great on my iPad doesn’t always sound the same after upload. Thanks for the feedback!

I think the volume of the music is fine, you can hear your voice clearly over it. It sounds like it does start to peak when you aren’t talking though , so it probably could be lowered a bit

@@meady50 Thank you for the feedback!
