Building a HUGE DIY Chicken Run. Ep. 235.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- With Bird Flu still keeping our chickens in lockdown, we decided to build a huge chicken run to give our hens some extra space and a sense of freedom during the restrictions. Once the fence is completed and netting added to stop wild birds entering we can let the chickens out.

As someone who has also tried putting up fencing you did a great job there! Those post tanners are very heavy and even in good soil it’s very difficult to get posts in straight!! Great job boys 😊
nothing wrong with the fence, the chickens will love you for all the space.
Way2go Sean. Great job! I am sure the chickens will appreciate it. Regards and stay healthy, Bill H from Cranberry township Pennsylvania..
EGG-sellent job guys. It was all those rocks that made it hard work !!
Shaun and Colin you are creating a beautiful home for yourselves Otis Ollie and the chickens. Wishing you health and much happiness
Well done, Shaun! The fence looks great! The girls will be thrilled with all the new space to explore…. I can’t wait to see the chicken run update!
You did a better job than I would have. Love the channel guys.
It’s a beautiful fence! Where we live in Nova Scotia we have a LOT of rocks. Sometimes you have to reposition a post several times to find a place to drive it in. Fences here are never straight or even spaced. ❤❤
Damn the naysayers, the fence is great, Shaun
From a fellow DIYer in Canada, well done Shaun!! Land can present a myriad of issues but you seem to have it sorted.
Your Chickens will be so happy to have that great big run. Shaun looks like he's been building fences all his life. Watching him reminded me of helping my dad build fences mumblty years ago. Ours were barbed wire fences for the cows. Post hole diggers, fencing pliers, wirestretches -- every 10 year old girl's favorite toys! LOL! Hugs for all of you.💖💖💖💖
As long as it keeps the good things in, and the bad things out, your fence is just fine.
As long as it keeps your chickens confined, the construction is marvelous.
Useful stuff chicken wire - ideal for stopping the neighbouring sheep getting stuck after pushing their heads through the holes in the deer fence to get at our grass.
Thanks again and God bless. You both are awesome. Hi puppy's. Next time.
0:50 nice Chicken Run reference! (Haven’t even finished watching, but wanted to get that in!)
Chicken Run the title reminds me of the movie Chicken Run Colin where Mr Tweedy said chickens go in pie's come out 🤣 I think Shaun done a good job I'll give it a 10 out of 10 Shaun
Oh what a video loved it you two are so funny. By the way Sean the fence is brilliant. Great job. I don’t want to be blocked thank you!!! Have great week 😊
Thanks 👍
wow!! these chicken are in heaven! So well treated. Big kudos to Shaun, 🙌this is amazing work, so professional. I like your way of doing things, always tidy and clean and with a perfect plan. It was the same in times of Silver Fox, your boat was always well kept & shiny, Bravissimi 👏
Thank you so much 👍
Brilliant job on the hen yard Shaun with a little help from "Mr eye candy"😁Glad to see yoos are looking fit, healthy and having a laugh.Keep up the fun videos fellas and stay safe.👍🏴😂❤
Shaun, we are impressed with your fencing skills. A great video as always. Thank you.
Thanks 👍
Innuendos a plenty today, nice work all!
You two are becoming quite the gentleman farmers. That was hard work to put in that fence.
your lovely feathered ladies won't give a 'feather' about weather the posts are straight or not. Great job Shaun xx
I live in rocky Connecticut where digging holes requires a crowbar. I am very sympathetic to fence posts that aren't exactly plumb. Enjoy!
Well Done.
“It’s a living!” 😂🤣👍😎. Let it never be said you take a fence. 🙈🤣
We have Indian Runner ducks on our farm. Teye come in a range of colours and are very comical to watch. They also lay heaps of eggs which are great for baking.
They’re the ones i want! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
A fence is a fence, not a work of art. I get feelings of spring from this, unfortunately snow remains here in central Sweden. Good work guys! 👍❤
That’s a well made fence! It’ll be there forever. Lucky hens. Y’all had me giggling as always with your banter 😂😂😂. Such a beautiful place you live. 🌲
Thanks 👍
Very nice for the chickens. Sure they will be happy. Hard work but it’s all for you. Bless us all 🙏🏻🙏🏻🕊🕊🌻🌻
Yes, thank you
Fantastic job, your chickens are going to be very happy.
I live in the granite state. All I see are your perfectly plumb fence posts😉
It’s so great to see you guys loving life in Scotland and all the gorgeous animals that share your life ❤
Amazing amount of work on that fence! Great job!
Thanks 👍
Wow!
Shaun has certainly put a lot of work into the new chicken run.
I'm sure your chickens will appreciate the effort. Well done Shaun.
We are looking forward to future updates.
Stay safe and well guys
The coop extension is just an excuse for some more boys toys though…….confess. Actually I love the one that staples round rings. I could use one of those myself.
I absolutely adore everything about your new life!! Please keep posting videos. I do have a question though, do you have problems with critters like foxes and such digging under the fence to get at your chickens? That's an issue in our area, foxes, coyotes, and hawks.
No.
That's a beautiful chicken enclosure! A lot of hard work!!😊
Well done guys looks really professional
Sean is my eye candy. ❤ 😊 good man , Sean. Keeping his girls happy.💖🐓
Before you've got a proper zoo with all kinds of animals. Start is there and it looks really nice. Great work lads!
That fence will do. Chickens will be thrilled for more forage rooms.
Good for you. As a child, I was lucky enough to live in a rental cottage on a lovely farm/estate. Even though it was manicured to the teeth, we still had loads of maintenance attend to. Any kind of construction can be a physical challenge and the hens will be safe. Cluck-cluck girls. PS~What was that white bell shaped flower?
Oh Bless, I bet your arms hurt!!!!!!
It's so nice to see people looking after their animals!
I lived on a mountain side in S Wales and for every bucket I dug up, 3/4 was stone!!!
You two are a joy to watch and make me smile, keep it going!!
✋ [Hi 5] Sean, nice job, doin well! A bit of up and down, will keep'm fit. Thanks m8s, keep up the good work. Lookin forward to Ollie and Otis.
Shaun, you are doing a great job with the fence. Our yard is similar, very uneven and stumps and rocks. We had somebody professional to build our fence. Your fence will be perfect for the chickens. I must say, I am excited about you all possibly getting ducks. I love ducks too. Nice video. Love the humor. You fellas take care.
I always get a great silly grin on my face (where else lol) when watching you two. The fence looks really good, and I'm sure it is fit for purpose.
Thanks 👍
Wish I were there with my posthole digger......I have a porthole pounder like yours but not as large for the metal fencing I use in the garden for trellises etc.. my shoulders hurts just watching you Shaun. But a job well done..lucky ducks.....oh, ....I mean chickens....
Wow great job! I mean it seriously as we’re not builders at all and it was neat to see those special tools used and how to do it. The chickens will think it’s beautiful I am sure!! They’ll feel FREEEEEEE!!! 💜
Glad you enjoyed it!
You've got neater tie offs than guys I've professionally fenced with. Gents your fencing is on point, anyone who is gonna go bitching about that job should get a Hayes strainer to the noggin!!
Beautiful work! I bet the girls will love the added space!
Good job done. Loved the vlog, you'll have muscles like Popye, and be as fit as fiddles. Take care. 💕🐾🐾xxxx Chris & Mary.
Great job with the fence. Your chickens are going to be quite happy once you finish.
I hope so!
The girls are going to love it!
I don’t know why anyone would criticize your fence, I think it looks great! Very professional looking. Your ladies will be thrilled with their new expansive yard.
People would disagree with us if we stood there blindfolded and said nothing 🤣
@@FoxesAfloat Isn’t that the truth. They don’t have anything better to do, clearly. I’m looking forward to see the completed project and the happy hens.
Oooh, eye candy hammering away with his big massive tool!
Was like a mini version of Clarksons farm. Love it. How the devil Shaun got those posts in. Well done. Wow. Lucky chickens. Best wishes guys ❤
The chickens look so well,how are the bees doing? I remember you putting them to bed 😊
They’re still in bed for another few weeks 👍🏻
Take care guys, see you next week.
Use the Post Smasher in the Military, but we call it a Thumper and yes just as loud as yours. Foxes Farm is coming along nicely.
You are multi-talented, sir. Good work.
If it’s crooked and it serves your needs it is in properly good job I worked on farms as a boy we never had straight fences but the cows didn’t get out crack on
"How often have I heard that" made Scotch come out of my nostrils. Love your work. My nose doesn't though x
Compared to my fence, yours is a work of art!
Another great vid , really enjoy them all , propper grafters , well done 👍🇬🇧
Great work guys well done 👏 have a lovely weekend and keep warm some very cold weather on the way 😀 😊
What a beautiful chicken run! Those are some lucky birds!
Why does this make me think of the Chicken Run movies? Free the chickens!
Shaun is the expert on fencing in Chickens. Did he learn this in the Royal Navy? 😁
'Chicken!!"
This afterneoon had to wait whist the ducks crossed the road at the Mere in scarborough.perfectly true.Shaun no deserve a glass(?bottle) of wine
Good morning guys 😀 you’re a proper pair of country bumpkins now lol 😆 You do Brighten up May Day when I watch one of your videos 🤣
Lol @ Shaun...and then you're blocked hahaha 🤣🤣🤣 brilliant had a right chuckle there, superb comic timing.
As for the video, it was great and I for one found it useful so thanks!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
So relaxing watching you 2 😊
😊 thank you
Great vlog guys, you are really spoiling your chickens. looking forward to your next vlog. Regards Derek.
Amazing video - thank you .. loved it
From good old Yorkshire
You will never read a disparaging comment from me. I think your fence is great and you built it yourself. So cool. 🎉
I love it!
Well I think it looks great & I really enjoyed the video. Should have been longer. X
The new fence is just terrific! We have a lot of rock in our yard, so we know how hard it is to set posts. But… you may think you’re done with the chicken fence and yard. Well, it’s never quite done. I’ve had backyard chickens for over 20 years and there is always something that needs doing. Keep up the good work you two!
Thanks!
Thanks so much Greg! x
Shaun is a really good farm hand. And really good at post ramming. LOL.
It looks great guys
Hi guys another great video as always, Shaun made a great job of it but you both probably work as a team, keep up the great video's, best wishes to you and pat's for the dogs 🐶🐶
Have you found many fossils in the soil? Shaun really made the extension very nice. Ducks would be lovely. Chickens, bees, ducks, dogs, and you guys. Love.
Yes, there are loads of fossils here.
@@FoxesAfloat Please show us your fossils! xx
im sure he does beat it up and down 8:35 lol
Every time you try to head of the comments from people who tell you what you should have done, I feel like telling them they should of NOT posted what you should have done. 😂😂 I like how you are thinking about your chickens. You are good people.😍😍
You guys are so knowledgeable. You seem to know how to do everything!! Shaun, your arms and shoulders must be so sore! Wonderful job, and the chickens are so grateful. 🐔 🐔🐔🐔
They are!
you guys are doing a great job.. those are some lucky chickens
Why did I think of Foghorn Leghorn? I say Boy I say Boy.
The fasteners for the chicken wire to the top wire is absolutely brilliant. Fun vlog
It really is!
Hi I have just found your channel, sorry for late join 🙄 so I would just like to say I love your channel. You two are amazing keep up the great vlogs where ever or whatever you do xx
Thank you so much!!
the big posts are called 'strainers', the thinner ones 'stobs' :)
😇
I know 🙄
@@FoxesAfloat 😁😁
Please show how the burnt hillside is recovering. Thanks for the enjoyable videos
It is still the middle of winter.
You guys work so well together. Imagine how much we would miss if you were not filming while the work was getting done...or how fast the job would go! The chickens are really beautiful creatures.
Good job you guys,thats good fencing,you have all the right tools😉
that's one posh fence!!
Well done lads! Brilliant work! Loved Colins voice over of the work you were doing 🤣 Role on the summer and Scottish summer weather 🌞😎🏴
Glad you enjoyed it
Don't run yourselves down, I think you did a brilliant job considering your sloping ground and the equipment at your disposal, the chooks will love it.
The fence has rustic charm. Who wants straight anyway? 😁
Well done Shaun, could watch you work all day.
Thanks! I didn't know about those round staples!! Do you have any Speckled Sussex hens? They are the most busybody hens I have. They have to keep an eye on everything you do, while their expression implies you aren't doing it quite right. And, they are good looking! Good birds.
We have Rhode Island reds and Sussex Whites.
The white ones we have are Light Sussex
