Custom Chicken & Duck Coop! See How Our Duck Dipper Works!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2019
- A custom Craftsman Coop that also has a duck house and duck dipper in Hamilton, VA. This custom coop has so many cool and practical features designed to take the work out of keeping chickens and ducks, but still look amazing in the process. The henhouse is 8'x8' and is a shed/henhouse combo with pull out drawers for storage and plenty of ventilation for the chickens.
This coop has board & batten siding and used a reclaimed door and screened windows in the henhouse.
Matt answers chicken and coop questions from the new coop owners during this walk-thru.
The duck dipper feature allows for the ducks to get their heads wet without getting water all over the run, because you want a dry run to keep the chickens and ducks healthy. The duck dipper is designed so you can easily drain it (like a kitchen sink) and fill it up again.
There is also a heated poultry water system and Matt explains how that works as well.
This is a variation of our fan favorite Craftsman Coop!

What a beautifully done ruclips.net/user/postUgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpGYDU ! The instructions and the photographs are brilliant. It is thorough and genuinely informative. Ryan got another winner! No one does it better!
People with money don't get excited at much. They seem somewhat detached. That damn chicken coup is nicer than my house! Those people show no enthusiasm for this man's awesome work.
You added the tree as a shelf. You are such a good guy.. That was really sweet of you
This isn’t a chicken coop, this is a chicken castle!!! Can’t even imagine how much it cost.
no doubt! This chicken mansion has everything, even imported French bedding! But why no automatic door then?
@@MD-yw8pj Probably saw costs running up, or just forgot to add to the order.
That duck dipper is BRILLIANT!
Love this coop. Just a thought, a cleanout door on the duck nesting boxes will make cleaning them out 100 x time easier than shoveling bedding out over the top. Having the whole back can flip down to broom it straight out would be awesome. I breed ducks and it's a MAJOR issue for us if there's no cleanout hatch. The owner's back will thank you. LOL
Also, if you make the nesring box floor linoleum as well as pullout, it will be easier to clean out as duck poop is wet and will rot the wood.
the duck house completely opens from the back for clean out. It swings out. 😁
This is perfectly built. It is like little house. I am sure this is not cheap but definitely is good. Some people have more money than others to afford best but definitely this looks nice and doesn’t destroy the looks of property
Kudos to Dad.... he's a Real Dad.Working in the family program. Everyone in family on board and he is supportive. He is a Fashionista!!!! Go Dad Go!!!!
You can see her barely contained joy when she opens the lid on the duck house ❤
Love to see families coming together to support the interest of one (or more members). Also love to see people taking such good care of their animals
I like the way you were so patient with these new owners.
Thank you. We appreciate our customer so much to putting their trust in us, and we love helping them navigate backyard chicken keeping.
They getting payed well enough lol
@@gelsm8709 We love our customers and are nice to everyone we meet in our work, whether they buy one of our coops or not. it's a shame people can be so cynical.
Lol Different strokes.. all jokes (and money) aside, to me this takes all the fun out of it. Part of the fun is building your own coop with leftover materials around the property. Being as cost effective as possible and making it a fun family activity that teaches self sustainability to your children. My guess is those kids will have a tough time ever driving in a nail or appreciating fresh eggs.
Isn’t it cruel to not let the ducks swim? They are made for it. I’d hope their whole life isn’t that they can’t ever swim. Hopefully they get out of that coop since she doesn’t sound like she intends to let the chickens out.
This is not chickens coop ! this is chickens VILLA !!|
I want to live in it hhhhh .
Great JOB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God bless you.
Thank you so much!
Rubber mats in the duck box floor works for me. Easy to remove and clean. Love the coop!!
Thank you Lisa. That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing.
Wow. That's nicer than my house!
According to some chicken farmers, neem oil on the roosting bars helps get rid of mites that can embed in the wood.
I want to know what they spent. She got her 1st egg and it only cost 45k lol. Lots of good ideas.
Roger Jackson literally looked on there website this shot is $9k with no duck stuff
It was *way* more than $9k; just saying. I loved when he said “How many chickens do you have?” Six. “How many do you expect to have?” And the husband says “Five.” Lol. Cute family.
Well, you are right. Most men or wives just build their own chicken house for a bit of timber and chicken wire. Or just bring them up fed by the stick in a paddock if you are predator free like here. But this is the US, capitalize, capitalize!!
According to the website this style coop *starts* at $16.5K
That’s $2750 per chicken if they have 6.
@@skyserf - My buddy spent $2400 on his chicken coop which was raided by predators that killed 37 of his 38 chickens which were worth about $1000. Then he hired me to build one of the Carolina Coops for him. His first investment was $3400 and basically had nothing to show for it. There’s about 80 man hours in the Carolina Coop from scratch and $2700 in materials.
Beautiful coop. I am loving what you guys did for the ducks, ducks seem to always be an after thought, but you guys gave them their own space 🥰
Thank you. It's our customers that always make us challenge what we've been doing and make it better.
These custom coops are so fun to see! We will be remodeling an unneeded shed soon into a chicken coop soon. We may be able to incorporate some ideas from here into ours.
I am so impressed with your intent to inform and the beauty of your builds. Your videos have been very informative as I work on a design to build my granny and her 14 gals and 2 roos a very much needed upgrade. Their current coop should house 2-4 chickens. When you know better, you do better. My granny loves her chickens and I want to give her something beautiful and functional - and you have nailed that with this design. Thank you so much for providing information on the smallest details for those who want to give the diy option a go. Keep doing what you are doing - inspiring people to raise their own chickens.
thank you so much for the kind words!
Bears in Virginia will lift those roofs right up on the little accessory buildings. Suggest a latch and carabeener (spelling?) for each. I would also be worried about the run material standing up to bears or coyotes and dogs. I would want to add a layer of heavy gage fencing or even cattle panels. The man we got our chickens from had pens with chainlink fencing gates that had a full surround of aluminum tubing. A bear worked on it until it bent the tubing, ripped the gate panels open, and decimated the chickens. It got into two pens.
An alternative is to surround the area with electric fence, which actually works quite well against bears and coyotes.
I would also add some linoleum flooring to the duck pen. Take it eight inches up the walls, too.
I really do love these Carolina Coops! I want one!
Spot-On Dude!
Oh how I wish I could see the chickens and ducks in this today and hear how they like it. I had to laugh when the husband asked how to clean the poop off the roost. I have a feeling most of his interaction with the chickens is at breakfast. LOL
this is by far, the nicest coop I have seen. I would add a small frig and sink to shed side for egg storage and washing area, and maybe a place for incubator and chicks. I especially love the duck drinking center. Our ducks make a bloody mess, and we have tried so many ways to keep the coop clean. you can't put a cup of water on the ground without someone trying to swim in it... I absolutely love this design. Well done!!
i like that idea
You may not have noticed that he recommended against washing and refrigerating. Eggs have a bloom that keeps them from decaying for about 21 days. Once you wash them they must be refrigerated.
@@SharonRepici did not know this
@@SharonRepici if someone wants unwashed eggs, I set aside the freshest ones for them. However, some places (farmers markets) require any eggs that are sold to public to be washed. It is an individual choice.
Ducks need more than a head dip in order to keep their feathers clean and preened as this is what keeps them warm. A quick dip in a pool even in winter stimulates their need to preen and oil their feathers.
I am in love with the coops. Talking to my husband about getting one. I keep seeing the storage drawers & see one of my kids napping in these.
Thank you for watching and for your comments.
"Professionals" forgot the definition anymore, you sir haven't, thank you!
Gorgeous job done!
Thank you so much!
OMG!!!! That coop/run is absolutely incredible!!
Thank you.
Ducks are messy. If youve never had ducks, you cant comprehend how messy they are. The duck dipper is absolute genius.
Thank you for your comments. Ducks are extremely messy and wet! We recognize that many people have chickens and ducks are we love to offer solutions to make cohabitation of different feathered friends better! Thanks for watching.
I have no idea why I'm watching this as I live in an apartment. I want a chicken now. Carlos is the chicken whisperer and could sell eggs to hens
love this coop! Only in my dreams....
Its so lovely to see how much thought and care you put into every little part of the Coops you make, these videos would be a lot shorter if you didn't
Margatatials that’s a great point. We are going to be making several much shorter videos just highlighting single points about our coops and raising chickens. Thank you for watching
@@CarolinaCoopsVideos No I didn't mean it like that I loved all the little details
I’ve never seen a coop look so... pretty. have they had ducks or chickens before? has anyone told them?.... Lol
Won’t stay clean for long, but the great part is these are super functional and perfect for the health of the birds
Right lol
You just got screwed and over charged. What a scam!
@@kjmnature she did her research and this is what they were willing to spend for the quality they got.
@@SharonRepici that first egg so far has cost her a pretty penny. I really don’t get the idea that they take care of much of anything. I hope they have a caretaker for their birds.
Wow, guys. Absolutely gorgeous! Love all the ventilation! The duck “mouth rinse” is completely brilliant! A couple of suggestions: the owner prolly needs a room for feed & egg storage more than a “she shed, no? Add a drop down door to the duck nest for easier cleaning, cover the electrical wires for the heat pumps etc. with PVC pipe for safety and put a lock on the pneumatic duck nest lid/roof -a raccoon might figure that out!
Thank you for your comments and your suggestions.
Matt you should install a rubber bumper along side those edges of the metal roofing on the duck house and duck bath, otherwise I know I would slice my forehead open peeking into those little houses. Otherwise the design is spectacular. What a beautiful Coop.
Hi Dave, we haven't any forehead slicing incidents, however, it is a concern for us. While the edge isn't very sharp, we have used automotive trim on the edge. The problem is it helps trap water, so the trim doesn't stay on. We keep searching for solutions to a concern some customers have. Thank you for your comments and for watching!
Love the duck dipper 😆 great idea, I always hung buckets. And the rainwater set up is awesome
Thank you!
Some excellent solutions. Love it! I agree, most runs are SOOOO tiny! They need room to move around and forage, IMHO.
Thank you and we agree. You can never have enough room for your flock.
I like the way you put the duck and chicken together
Thank you! It's a challenge our customers have, incorporating chickens and ducks, so we wanted to help solve those issues.
My eldery friend, of when I was a child, raised rabbits in three wood box pens on a table under his lean-to to his garage.
He sold them as meat. Look. Animals are animals. If you aren't into taking care of them and expect to purchase what is unnecessary but still time-consuming for you.
My parents had chickens. They planned shopping and appointments away from home to be home to do what was necessary for the chickens.
Self watering, self feeding, are helpful. The more you put into raising food it cuts into the savings you would make.
Happy farming.
those chickens and ducks are going to be SPOOOILED!
They sure are. Thanks for watching.
They can throw grass they cut from the lawn.They can eat grass, its not toxic and they can lay on it also. Its better if its dried but usually it dries up if spread out. Its some of the best things to use in a chicken run in my opinion.
We love putting grass clippings in the run. That is a great idea along with leaves in the fall. Thank you for your comments.
love it, nice roof and storage, all the great features
Thank you Angela!
Wow, as a long time viewer of your coops I Have to say You hit this one Out of the Park, finally a Coop that takes care of the needs of the Ducks and the Chickens.
Love the Duck Dipper, Would they be able to Take a good swim in it?
Thank you for much for sharing
Thank you for the kind words Richard. We love being able to solve issues that our customers have and having ducks and chickens together can be a problem, mostly a moisture problem. Since the front of the duck dipper comes off, the ducks could swim in it, although it's not very big. However, we believe the homeowners plan on having a separate pool for them outside of the run. It was create to allow the ducks to get their eyes and beaks wet (which is necessary) without getting water in the run, which is best if it's kept dry. We're so glad you love this coop! Thanks for watching!
@@CarolinaCoopsVideos I really like the ideas in this coop/run design, but I'm very curious to see what the owners and their new tenants think. Do they have a RUclips channel where they might share their experience over time? I'm especially interested to see how they do having ducks and chickens in the same run together.
Also, do you have any details on the duck dipper components?
Your chicken /duck coops are amazing
Thank you!
Wow this is stunning 😍
I'm in awwwe and so in love with this and it's not my chicken coop. Lol.
Super Beautiful! 😇
Someday if im ever blessed with the opportunity to have my own chicken coop. This would definitely be something to consider. Well done. Wishing much success and blessings on your great work and satisfying your clients. 👏
I happen to be looking up chicken coops and found this video! You are geniuses! I love your chicken coops! Look at all that room for them. I'm going to your webpage! i'm so excited to see this! Thank you!!! ~MG
STAY BLESSED!
Thank you Melissa.
If you're worried about the cold. There are several breeds of chickens that are "cold hardy".
Very nice. Think maybe using pvc pipes to hide and protect the electrical cords
I would create enough room --the front entry-to -sink ( to clean the eggs) place shelf’s, storage (for egg cartons) and a small fridge to refrigerate your eggs; perfect. This way you don’t deal with the “egg-business “ inside your residence.
Wow! What a great coop! I am going to build a coop but there are things included here that I had not considered. So I will now change my plans somewhat. I did not know about the hemp, I'll be looking for that.
LOVE this. So many great features.
Thank you
Absolutely beautiful !
id love to see all these coops when they have chickens n ducks in them...working👍
Even pet water fountain that are constantly cycling and have carbon filters get slimy and need regular cleaning so DEFINITELY clean out that water barrel every 2-3 weeks at least
The duck box is sweet just wish the wood was covered with poly carbonate too and use a side hinge on outer wall to swing open for easy sweep out cleaning couple extra bucks would be amazing!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your comments Laura. We decided against using HDPE in the duck house because they will nest and lay in there and it will be very slippery for them, even with bedding. The doors do hinge out to sweep out the duck house. Thanks for watching.
Thanks to your videos, I understand that there are people in America who are very professional in their business, I take an example from you. Another would be to look at your decisions in states where it snows and there is a negative ambient temperature. We in Russia need slightly different decisions regarding the content
Purple shirt and pink shorts and stacks of bracelets...something tells me the chickens weren't his idea
LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Peony Farm lmaoooo
Happy wife, happy life.
Wasn’t his idea and doesn’t know how to use a hammer. This guy is making a living out of rich white people.
@@dabl9034 really? Fail troll or just a butthead?
Since you put the ball valve on the drain you can leave the strainer out, keeping you from needing to reach in the dirty water. I love the duck dipper idea and will be trying to incorporate it into my duck house. When I win the lottery I will be buying a Carolina coop.
I love the whole duck idea
Gorgeous coop! Nice work!!
I love the style of the little sitting room w rocking chair, artwork and chandelier.
Thank you.
I probably missed it, but what's the purpose of the sitting room?
@@kitten375 I think to have a place to sit and enjoy the outdoors, that was a personal choice. It also has hidden storage. Which is probably what most ppl would do w that area.
@@aurora571000 Yeah, the storage is wonderful. I don't think I'd want to sit in a chicken coop for relaxation, though. But that's just me. And I'm still jealous. It's a beautiful coop.☺️✌️
Lucky guy, making coops for millionaires.
We make coops for all people. Our coops start at $1,750 and since they are built to last a lifetime, we think that's a good price for the high value you get with our coops. Thanks for watching.
Awesome Bentley coop and video. Loving the hen house and gin house! Great build. Sub for life.
Thank you!
What a beautiful coop. It's a dream home for chickens and ducks. Love it!
Thank you! We hope the flock loves it as much as everyone else does.
Again, WOW 👌, your work is amazing, great work and great camera 📷 work
Thank you.
Good job, That's more beautiful than my apartment
I love the hemp bedding. I filled it up and then add as we go . No smell too. I do wish the hemp wasn’t so expensive and I wish it didn’t take as long to get to the house. But love the products.
We sell our hemp for $40 for $44lbs. And yes, the shipping can get pricey because of the weight and size, we are working on solutions to that problem. We still think it's a great value because it lasts for years and is so much healthier for your birds and the environment. Thank you for your comments.
Thanks really thinking about these coops
WHAT IS THE PAINT OF THE PINK DOOR? Please and thank you we love your work!
Incredible work!
Love this!
again , awesome , i learned a lot from the vid , thanks
Thank you
Awesome build!!
Wow so beautiful..Kudos👍
Thank you! We love this one too.
Wow. What A Animal Palace. Badazz Matt
Loving this coop
excellent chicken and duck coop
good information , nice workmanship
Thank you for watching!
I've watched several of your videos. You've recommended getting a carabiner in just about every one. If I was paying what I'm assuming is a pretty penny for one of these, it damn well better come with a couple..lol. I understand the cost in this quality of workmanship..I really do. From what I've seen in your videos, you build a very high end, quality product! Throw these ppl a bone and give em a few beeners!! Hell, you could even get some made up with your company name on them..just a thought..Love your video, but this one issue bugs the hell out of me for some reason..subscribed
We do usually give carabiners to our custom coop customers if we have them. (there is so many moving parts that goes into a custom install) We also are making these videos for everyone, so the advice to put on a carabiner is for the audience as well as the customer. Love the idea of branding our own carabiners. We're so busy building coops to concentrate on creating swag. But maybe we need to. Thanks for watching and subscribing.
@@CarolinaCoopsVideos
As a sales promo I can see you mentioning in the videos that you provide, as a courtesy, carabiners to ensure no tampering of the latches.
It sure as hell would sound a whole lot better to the audience than a mere suggestion to everyone, to use them, including the customer that just spent thousands to have you come and make a sales video on their property.
Please understand, I like what you are doing for the coop industry. But poor sales integrity is truly in bad form.
I don't care too much for the BS line you tried to feed us above. "We usually give... (them) if we have them."
AND - your comment "so many moving parts" is just another dodge at the truth! MAN-Up CC! Own it! You just did not consider it!
Throw Mr. Bishop a huge bone. Offer him something he can benefit from. He gave you a great sales promo at no cost!
You should be on your knees thanking him for that sales gem he gave you! Instead you pegged all of our BS Meters to their limits!
In all of your videos I have seen - not once did I see you provide a $1.75 carabiner to anyone!
You can be better than this!
ME TOO! Good job Jason!
Check my reply to CC below.
Nice..I want one!
Good video, I enjoyed it.
This thing is amazing!
Thank you!!!
I would have made that decorated room into more space for chickens.
Wow this one is my favorite sense I have two male ducks
I know nothing about chickens or chicken coops, but that one looks amazing. The only thing I would’ve added to it is where the duck house is I would’ve had a sliding drawer. So you could slide out the floor for easy cleaning you wouldn’t be hunched over into the duck house… but all in all and amazing chicken coop. Would love to have one..
Thank you!
Very nice! ❤😊
I WANT A COOP ASAP!!!!!!
Fantastic
Thank you!
sweet coop 🔥👍🏻
I want a chicken flag shirt like that! 💜🐔
We sell them. Just shoot us an email. carolinacoops.com
Ive had dogs figure out the horizontal fencing! They actually look for the edges!
7:15 and I'm done. Raises duck house roof and shows system to slash face and eyes off.
Serious safety issue to have raw corrigated roofing at eye level. Probably a $20,00.00 coop.
Also only 1/4 way around outside so slow, talky, talky, more walk next time.
For nesting the boxes you can also use carefresh bedding for rabbits, hamsters and gerbils.
We love to use straw to encourage their instincts to build a nest. Chickens love to make a little nest ball to sit in.
Beautiful coop. You guys take great pride in your coops.
Thank you. We really do, we know our customers will have this for a lifetime and we love what we do!
Beautiful coop, in the run area do place a roostering bar for the chickens look out?
Yes, that's the plan, we discussed that too, it just didn't make the final cut of this video. Thanks for watching!
He did give it a quick mention that they shouldn't be higher than the ones in the coop because chickens look for the highest roost at night.
Nice coop
Is the duck dipper design just so they can get their head in? They like to swim thou, and of course love pooping in the water. I wouldn’t stick my hand in the dipper if they are allowed to swim. My ducks love swimming. Dip in and get their feathers wet, and then they come out and run like it’s been the best dip of their lives! I love the idea thou. This house has given me tons of ideas for both my chicks and ducks. Thank you! 😊
The duck dipper is just for them to dip their heads, however, the front can be removed and they can jump in there. But the point was to try to keep the run dry because it's mixed with chickens. They plan to have another pond area outside the run for the ducks eventually.
Awesome
Thank you.
Expensive hobby.
It looks so homey . . . when can I move in?
This family looks like they have no idea what to do with this coop 😂😂😂 he has on a purple shirt and pink pants she has on a camouflage shirt I wonder who is the outdoorsman wo-man
