DIY Chicken Coop Build! With some FREE PLANS

What is going on everyone! Welcome back to the channel. In the opening of the video I give a quick update on the Banks Monster Ram intake, Banks Boost Tubes and Banks CAI. However this vidoe is a little different than my last ones! As I mentioned before, I am into woodworking and building things. This video is about precisely that! In this video I am building a chicken coop for my family. This project was tons of fun and I highly encourage you to give it a go!
The inspiration behind this build was my wife. She was talking about us getting some chickens and I decided to get busy! I went scavenging the RUclips sea of ideas and found these plans. They are from the ThirdCoastCraftsmen and they are drawn up pretty well. Having chickens is something my wife and I have talked about for a few years now and finally decided to pull the trigger! We greatly enjoy fresh eggs over the store, the taste is way better. As you see in this video, we have 3 sons and we want to teach our sons about responsibility and to have respect for animals. Alright, lets get into the information you will need for this build!
Some items we got for general care of the chickens:
Feed from our local feed store
Chicken scratch from our local feed store
Sweet PDZ to help with smell and cleaning out chicken poop

Metal trash can for chicken feed and scratch storage.
