BEST Chicken Coop & Run Tour

  • Let’s take a tour of the chicken coop and run that my husband built. We did not use any building plans. He just thought through it as he built it, but he says he’s not good at carpentry! 🔨 We used plywood, pressure-treated lumber, and hardware cloth. Almost everything is painted, and we used a special type of paint on the plywood underneath the deep bedding area to protect the wood from moisture. Our deep bedding is hemp. Straw seems to attract bugs. We found all our latches and pulls from our local home store. ‪@CarolinaCoopsVideos‬ #coop #homesteadchickens #bantams #urbanchickens #farmfresheggs #happiness #homesteadchickens #babychickens

    After having a chicken coop and a run for a while, the best advice I can give anyone starting out, is no matter what, if possible, build a coop and a run that is 2 feet taller than yourself. Your back will thank you later and it’s just so much easier than stooping down every time you have to go in the run. This is a fantastic coop and run!

    Hi! How big is the coop itself? I need a coop large enough to store supplies, like you did, but I don’t want an overly large building in my backyard. So I’m trying to determine the minimum size. I’m only planning to have around 6 hens.

    • @CluckinAround
      @CluckinAround  Год назад +2

      8X10 and we gave my side enough space for a 24" wide door to fully open. I can use the space under the chicken area for large totes of feed, treats, and other supplies.

    Poor Robin. He looks so forlorn out there. I have 4 roosters myself. 2 are separated away from the main flock, in the bachelor pad. 2 with the hens but 1 of them has to be caged because he's the beta male, even though hubby named him Rockstar (he's a blue/silver ameraucana, with long black 'mane' that looks like the long hair of 90s rock stars'). He either bullies the hens - or more like hurriedly 'does' thing before the alpha male, Spid, catches him, or gets bullied by Spid. As a result, the hens do not like him because he's rough and never does courting dance like Spid does. Just whambam no thank you, Ma'am. So sadly, I have to cage him. But the cage are large enough so he's still free to move around and it's in the middle of the run area.

    • @CluckinAround
      @CluckinAround  Год назад

      Robin has access to the chicken yard, but has his own coop. He is not nice to the girls, and they do not like it. He's such a sweet boy when he isn't hurting the girls. Take a look at my shorts, and you will see his night time routine. He is so funny!
