Don't listen to these people. You are "setting up" and that takes time. I think you're doing a wonderful job! Beautiful coop! I agree, the Amish have been doing it right all along and we can learn a lot from them.
I would put a latch or lock on the egg box - another entry point for predators. I really admire how genuine you are in your videos-it’s refreshing and incredibly helpful for anyone tackling their own projects. Can’t wait to see what you’re working on next and how it all comes together. Wishing you all the best-and take care!
@@AlexandraFasuloBiz Beautiful coop, the Amish are awesome. Don't underestimate the strength of a hungry predator though. Especially when there's KFC on the menu. Latch that baby.
Hey Alexandra, you may want to install a gutter on the nestbox side of the roof because all the water that comes off it is going to land on the middle of the lid. I had that design coop before and it worked out way better with a gutter.
It's a beautiful thing when the message finds the right messenger. Thank you, Alexandra, for bringing awareness and reach to these important issues of our time. And for doing it with such grace.
Wow. That's a very nice chicken coop. Looks like cedar. Bet it smells amazing. Thank you for walking us thru the bldg. Im sure that will help a lot of people. I also appreciate your honesty in your videos as that will help people when they're trying to work thru projects. Im already putting a few of your ideas into memory for when i make my move out to the country. Look forward to the next video and how your next project is working out for you. God bless you and keep you safe... Blessings from Texas...🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Awesome With four hours of supplemental lighting, the chickens will start laying almost immediately. Also, I would put a tarp under the chicken house run so that you can just slide it out to clean out underneath.
You are what every (real) man wants. Intelligent, beautiful, family oriented girl and self-reliant homesteader. Our culture is sick, many young women are lost. They all need role models like you.
That is the stupidest thing I have seen this month, and there have been many stupid things I have read this month. The fact that she gave this idiotic comment a heart tells me this is not a channel for me.
"Schaffe Schaffe Häusle Baue" is a great old German expression that means “work and work to build a house”, which seems fitting here. Tell the Amish the next time you see them and they'll love you even more ;)
Looks like the wood runners for the coop are directly on the ground..... termites will get into those eventually. Not good. Jack up the coop and put some cap blocks down to make a termite barrier. Love your videos and your ambition.
Lovely coop & a great start for you :) We were poor and had to make our own but that coop will last you for many, many years! We had a farm in Amish country and they are excellent neighbors to have if you are trying to grow organic & build infrastructure right. Our Amish neighbor would drive by (yes by buggy) our home and ask if we wanted to buy her strawberries that were left over from market...which we snapped up and they were absolutely the best at a fair price. ;)
The bottom timbers should be elevated off the ground to avoid rot. Some spaced pavers, with some Sill sealer between, to decouple moisture form the pavers (concrete can wick water into lumber). Even pressure treated wood will rot if in contact with the ground. If the the bottom timbers aren't pressure treated, I recommend applying an insecticide like boric salt to prevent carpenter ants & termites & fungus. Boric salt is pretty much non-toxic to humans & animals. You have to reapply it periodically (rain will wash it off), or you can mix it in with a primer paint which should last several years. I would also recommend upgrading to an automatic gate, with some sort of remote so you can also override the schedule (ie bad weather or other issues).
This is a typical barn roof in New York and Vermont. My new stomping grounds. My concern is condensation frost. We used to shingle directly over purlins with no sheathing. It allowed for air flow under the shingles which extends their life for years. On the sugar shack, you have huge amounts of steam condensing around the cupola vents. If you insulate the backside of the metal, you will need air flow between the insulation and metal to combat condensation. Just observations. I personally am a timber framer who learned much from the Amish and have roots with them.
Beautiful coop! I hope you can get a rooster to protect and produce babies to sell! 🐓 🐥 We set up something similar at our farm in AZ. My daughter runs it and has a total menagerie! Wins lots of prizes at fairs.. Right now she has chickens, ducks, turkey, rabbits, dogs.. We're working on goats and sheep. Have to expand into more pasture.. we buy a cow each year to fill the freezer and rent horses to satisfy the occasional riding addiction. 🏇 👨🌾👩🌾 A happy life is soo important for mental and spiritual health. 🙏 Keep inspiring us! ❤
I just came across your channel. And i have to say THANK YOU! Im a New Yorker with a dream to buy land in my home state to farm. Is a dream of mine to homestead. You have ignited me to follow through and get this done by 2025. ♥️♥️♥️
Great start. Can’t tell you how many times people get hens and then are frantically trying to put together a hen house. I raise hens for eggs and organize my house a bit differently. I have after 25 years replaced the hen door with an auto door. My nest boxes are built like shelves 3 with 4 nesting area starting at 2’ off floor. I have sealed the floor with oil based porch paint adding 4 thin coats. Clean up is so easy. The hen yard is fenced 75 ft by 100 ft with aviator netting over arched pvc pipe to protect from predator birds. My meat birds are raised in chicken tractors using the same arch. 8-9 weeks per group. Best wishes! Happy hens. 🌞🌱❤️
Dear Alexandra. Keep doing what you do. Don't listen to nay sayers! I like your video's about amish construction, (It's new to me, living in the Netherlands) and your butterfly earpieces.
I have some heads-up advice: The chicken "droppings" are nothing like droppings. Chicken poop is runny, wet, and slimy. In addition, the Chickens will poop on everything! Your clean, nice coop will look like a war zone in the coming months. Especially if you get more birds. However, it's beautiful! Congrats! Another great structure on the farm!
Yes, I would definitely remove that hardware cloth on the bottom of the run and add some boards around the bottom or drop the bottom of the run to ground level and use the hardware wire around the outside perimeter to keep critters from digging under. The chickens like to scratch. The run with that wire bottom is a definite no unless it's buried.
I have a similar coop. One thing> the nesting boxes> The roof rain and snow will drip on that in that location. Ask the builders how to remediate that issue.
Beautiful coop. I am very very surprised they did not put "roof roll" paper on the roof before the tin. In your area with the cold warm days, that tin is going to sweat/rain on everything inside during the spring fall months. I am very surprised about that.
@@AlexandraFasuloBiz In the spring fall I mean. Not from rain but the cold mornings then the sun and quick warm up. I have a similar shed and it basically rains inside in the mornings due to the sweating. Im not saying itll rot or anything. Im just surprised is all. Its such a cheap paper to avoid something that will annoy you forever that I am surprised the Amish of all people wouldn't use it. Its still a beauty shed and would not be hard to even do it yourself next year on a nice summers day
My local guy (central NC) says the eggs are break-even for him. He sells eggs to bring people to his stand, but otherwise it's a wash. Maybe the economics are different upstate. 🐔
I am pursuing regenerative farming, which will allow me to feed the chickens from my land, cutting down on food and supplies costs! I can also get bedding for the chickens at 1/4th of the price from the Amish as opposed to tractor supply, etc. I suspect I can make a tiny profit! And sell other things alongside the eggs at the farm stand.
good afternoon, would be good to put line down linoleum on the floor because the chicken poop will eventually eat away at the wood, do you have ventilation in the coop the chickens need it, they done need a heat lamp their feathers keep them warm enough. heat lamps cause fires. my avian vet said no pine or cedar bedding its not good for their respiratory systems and 2x4 are best for roost bars so the girls can sit they feet flat and cover them completely in the cold weather.
I'm interested in getting chickens for my property. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to seeing your progress. What books are you reading for chicken farming?
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life..
Looks great, but am i missing something? With your run raised, how are the chickens going to be searching for bugs, worms, seeds and treats? Or is this coop going to be mainly their sleeping quarters and they will be on the ground outside the coop during the day?
Rabbits also run hot. They are built for winter, just need to be protected from rain and wind and of course predators. I've known people to actually overheat them and they die
$ QUESTION! Can you disclose financials? How much $ are you so far out of pocket? Are you kinda feeling okay with charging it to a credit card due to knowing you might get grant $ to pay it back? Would that be a good approach to have? Or how much $ should one expect to put out the gate to build basic structures and get land such as this? Thanks in advance
Advice for chickens in winter ❄ 1- Adult chickens do not need a heat source. In fact, it is detrimental to use heat because they will never fully acclimate to colder weather. Chickens body temps are between 105° & 107° all the time. You will also notice at night while roosting, it will be atleast 15° warmer where they are sleeping because of their collective body warmth. Even bantams do fine. I have a few in my flock. 2- All you have to do is block any drafts from their roosting areas at night and keep them dry. If you have an open coop, take steps to close it up especially around the roosting areas. Tarps work well as well as free tin from the marketplace. 3- You do not have to add any hay or shavings to the floor of the coop. Sand is a perfect insulator. I've never had an issue. 4- You will need to make sure now more than ever they have a balanced layer feed. Adding extra protein will also be crucial. Many of their natural grazing foods will not be available once winter hits. It's also pertinent to make sure you provide grit for the same reasons. This one is especially important for areas that get alot of snow. 5- Warm foods do not bring up their body temps. Feeding a chicken a warm meal will do nothing to help them. Chickens don't eat meals. They are foragers who graze constantly. 6- Make sure they are roosting on a wide flat surface. They need to lay on their toes at night to prevent frost bite. 7- In extreme low temps, apply raw coconut oil to their combs & wattles to prevent frostbite. Do not use Vaseline. There is water in the ingredients. Big no no! 8- To prevent frozen water, put ping pong balls in the waterers. The movement of the balls when water is taken by a chicken keeps the beginnings of ice from forming. If you live in SUPER low temps, there are water warmers you can purchase. 9- As you can see by the pic, they still love to go outside in cold temps! You don't have to keep them locked up. *Some people swear by giving them whole corn & cayenne/red pepper flakes in the winter to warm them up and keep them laying. There is no scientific evidence to support this & no studies showed it works. Just an FYI.
why not a movable coop so they can "graze"? chickens don't really graze but are always busy. chickens are really good for pests they chase anything that's small and moves rodents and insects. they also eat weeds and seeds and will produce better eggs. i guess forage is a better word than graze for what chickens do lol if this has been addressed, I'm new here.

the hardware wire can be on the ground inside the run but it must be buried so the chickens can scratch without nails getting stuck in it.

5- Warm foods do not bring up their body temps. Feeding a chicken a warm meal will do nothing to help them. Chickens don't eat meals. They are foragers who graze constantly.
6- Make sure they are roosting on a wide flat surface. They need to lay on their toes at night to prevent frost bite.
7- In extreme low temps, apply raw coconut oil to their combs & wattles to prevent frostbite. Do not use Vaseline. There is water in the ingredients. Big no no!
8- To prevent frozen water, put ping pong balls in the waterers. The movement of the balls when water is taken by a chicken keeps the beginnings of ice from forming. If you live in SUPER low temps, there are water warmers you can purchase.
9- As you can see by the pic, they still love to go outside in cold temps! You don't have to keep them locked up.
*Some people swear by giving them whole corn & cayenne/red pepper flakes in the winter to warm them up and keep them laying. There is no scientific evidence to support this & no studies showed it works. Just an FYI.
I would add speakers for them to listen to classical music. G
why not a movable coop so they can "graze"? chickens don't really graze but are always busy. chickens are really good for pests they chase anything that's small and moves rodents and insects. they also eat weeds and seeds and will produce better eggs. i guess forage is a better word than graze for what chickens do lol if this has been addressed, I'm new here.

Thanks for the continuous update! I am super excited about how my stock investment is going so far, making over $32k weekly is an amazing gain.
Poor chickens. They need soil to turnover and bath….. I hope you will give them some toys to entertain
