  • Cluckingham Palace would not be complete without Chickens! In this video, I show the story of how we got our chickens and raised them. First they lived in a box in the house, then we moved them to the coop where they lived inside only for the first 6 weeks. There is still much more to cover as we learn more about what it's like to raise chickens in our backyard. Enjoy!

    Just a heads up, you might want to anchor that heat lamp a little better. My neighbor had his set up like that and one of the chickens knocked it down and burned down his coop and his garage.

      Similar thing happened to a coworker of mine. Heat lamp caught some hay of fire and it burned down his whole house. Need to be very careful with those

    By the way, did you know you can feed your chickens grass clippings? As long as you don't use any pesticides or weed killers, about a handful of grass clippings per chicken each time you mow the lawn is great for them, any you end up with tastier eggs! You can also feed them any dandelions from pulled from your yard or garden, roots and all!

    They’re soooo cute, we got ours from Myer Hatchery the shipping is only $50. And if you get 15 it’s only $15.
    Our Delaware (lemon) loves to stand on our hands when we hand feed them

    💞the name of your coop truely fits your build.❣️🐤🐤🐤🐤🐤🐤in california.the only time they are noisey is when they're clucking while laying eggs. Rooster's are the noisey ones. My neighbors have them & we have double pained windows lol it's not too bad.

    Been watching your vids. Your dogs keep you busy for sure. Next project. Build automatic ball machine for your dogs so they can retrieve their ball themselves. Would be neat. Lol

    Overall, a beautiful coop. I'm glad to see somene build an attractive structure that adds value to the home rather than a shack with corrugated iron. The door x's, the natural branches, the paving sontes, and the planters are a really nice touch. To carry on remaking on the good, I love the shingle roof. I always build my coop rooves with plywood and roll roofing. Metal is hot in summer and cold in winter. Besides, it is ugly. You did the roof with class. I love the L-shape, although it would be too much for some. The cement board siding and the hardware cloth predator aprong are great. A lot of people use fence mesh. It keeps out the raccons, but the snakes and rats are not deterred. The double coop door is brilliant. It is something I want to implement. Just some suggestions. The clean out tray will cause problems. The shavings will get down in the frame and prohibit easy removal and replacement. It would be better to make the main floor of plywood and treat it with exterior varnish or line it with linoleum tiles. The branches are poorly secured. Nail pieces or 2x4 or 1x4 on the ends, then mount the brances with these pieces. Use a better hasp for the nests than the hook and eye. A slot hasp with a clip would be better. The watering system will be useless in freezing weather.

    Surprised you didn't put an electric outlet inside up by the roof to avoid having to run an extension cord or some kind of installed lighting
