This is just superb, I been tryin to find out about "best place for chicken coop" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Machaaldity Coop Blaster - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate got amazing results with it.
What a wonderful coop to be proud of. I like the thought into the removable panels for the deep bedding cleanup, the step to save space over using a ramp, and the brackets for the sliding nest boxes. Thanks for sharing this video
WOW! this is the best coop I've ever seen!! I wish my husband and I could afford a place like your's! But we're in our middle 60's and I think it's too late for us.
Thank you so much for this well-done video and tour AND especially for letting us see the inside chick area, chicks, with ideas for this building and roosting area! How many chickens do you guys have now? Has all if it worked out as well as you planned? I am guessing yes as obviously you are a master craftsman! We are renovating a 100 yr. old chicken coop that has a lot of well preserved benefits and so it’s always interesting to see other’s chicken houses. Your screening all around is top-notch and what we are planning for. Stay well.
Thanks Debbie! We have 10 right now. We've made no changes at all in the coop. We've added a couple of things in the run. We're planning on doing an updated video this spring!
Fabiana Calegari Thank you. Almost every video no matter the content has people that give it thumbs down. I have no clue why. I appreciate you and your kind comments.
Wow - stunning! - Fantastic design - most efficient, plush, comfortable, tidy and attractive - I wish I could have a coop/run like this - you have done an amazing job, thanks for sharing.
I used to be horrible at building chicken coops. I used to pay a fortune for them too! I no longer suffer from those problems anymore. Here's a great guide for building affordable chicken coops: ChickCoop.xyz
Thank you for taking the time and sharing your handywork! I want to build a coop and what a great idea for the nesting boxes and the removable 2X6's for easy clean up. Really well done. Great setup with all the buildings. Love it.
Nice, Chicken coop, I was just trying to get an ideas to build one just a simple one, but oh, boy this is very nice with a vegetables garden on the sides or flowers, Thanks for the tour.
There are many factors in creating an amazing design. One place I discovered that successfully combines these is ChickCoop.club definately the most useful info that I've heard of. Check out this unbelievable website.
@@terryhatfieldmin I found your work so neat and efficient I am going to buikd the same. I love the back area you designated to chickens and the garden area you attached with chicken coop Well done bro realy your first lady should be so happy.
Wow, very nice chicken coop and run. We're just starting out with chicks the 3rd week of May. We've finally decided on the type of shed and size. Just have to decide on the finishing personal touches. we have decided to go with the deep bedding system also. Thanks for sharing.
I wondered if you plan to let the chickens into rhe gardens ever? Could you add compost in winter, then let them scratch? I saw a farm which rotated chickens in 3 or 4 fields. They would have their compidt piles in the fields. A cow was in one field, a goat in another. The flock knew to work the big compost piles. If a hawk came, they ran under a raised coop, or under a hedge row. A hawk got one hen out if a bush, but mostly the hens were okay. They worked on the compost all day. The compost was used to grow food for a restaurant.
Lucky hens, they are blessed to have hands on people to take care of them. Recently fox dug under my flimsy coop and I can’t stop crying how I didn’t protect them more. Hence why I’m looking for a coop design better in design.👍
really beautiful, functional unlimited , great job to you both very inspirational, I was thinking of building a coop like this along backyard you gave me an idea of what it will look like... We already build a chicken coop/ rabbit condo but was looking to expand great video thank you for sharing...
This is beautiful! We are about to begin building our "big girl" coop. They're in a temp coop at the moment. This is giving me a million more ideas! I'll be in trouble going to home depot today, lol.. Also. Beautiful girls!🐤🐥
Dude your so handy. You should make a barley seed sprouting setup to spray water on the barley seed with lights to let the seeds sprout and grow to 4 to6 inches high. You will save a bunch in seed.
Great coop! Might want some electrical outlet covers or caps just to keep the dust out. Almost finished with my new coop..I’m getting my poop boards put up, deciding what bedding to use, I started buying the cubes of pine shavings and then heard about hemp, so I just got a big bale of that. I’ll try both. I’ve got my long run covered 100% in half inch hardware cloth, I’m figuring out if I want to use some sort of solid cover for winter, details, details..
The run is based on 4x4 posts buried in concrete. There are many construction photos in this link on my Flickr page. flickr.com/photos/93396776@N06/albums/72157664298243103
@@terryhatfieldmin did you have a blue print or just design it yourself? I am thinking about this very design but I have never built anything like that.
Maybe someone has already suggested this, but I would recommend placing child safe outlet covers to keep the dust down in your outlets. The push in kind would probably be best. I may snag your litter stops and your tree ring ideas. Good job on the predator proofing. Has it held up? I would love to know since I have everything from mink to coyote here. Thanks for the video.
Thanks! That's a great idea on the outlets. Chickens are some kind of dusty for sure! No predator issues so far. Something, I don't know what, chewed on the winter curtains that we had up but past that no problems at all.
May I ask how much did this cost? Thank you for sharing. I’ve watched many RUclips videos hoping to get some inspiration y th I build mine. Yours is the best!!! Thanks again for sharing
Excellent video. I have some questions. 1) How do you clean the poop tray that is under the perches and above where the nesting boxes will go? 2) How much room is under the boxes? (I've been doing a lot of thinking about the possibility of having the ducks underneath the nesting boxes and perches without chicken poop falling on the ducks. 3) Did you research whether having the fencing on top of the ground versus vertical dug down 12" is more predator proof? Great design. I'm working on how and what to build.
The poop tray is covered with Sweet PDZ. It is horse stall freshener. We buy it at Tractor Supply. It dries out the poop so it doesn't smell. It functions basically like a big litter box. We just sift out the poops and screed the Zeolite to 1/2" thick just like a cat litter box. Works very, very well. We add a little PDZ when needed and change it out a couple of times a year. There is virtually zero smell. Wouldn't dream of doing a coop without using this system. There is about 18" or so below the nest boxes to the floor. So about a foot above the shavings. We researched the wire extensively. All that is necessary is to deter the diggers from digging. They go right to the edge of the run and attempt to dig. Once they see they can't get through he wire, they just give up. We had had zero issues with anything getting into the run. The wire is more effective on top and it is buried because it stops them quicker.
We just built a 8x10 barn/shed we r turning into a chicken coop. We have 30 chickens. 24 of them r bitties (4 weeks old). We r starting on the run next weekend and hope to have it done by mid march
Very nice set up. Beautiful chicken coop and yard.
