How To Build A Predator Proof Chicken Coop

  • How to make an A-Frame chicken coop tractor. We are going to keep chickens and Guinea Fowl in this chicken coop in our backyard. I looked at several DIY chicken tractors and the A frame coop fit my needs best. My 3 day backyard build ended up taking 5 days but I'm happy with the results. Guinea fowl are tick terminators so hopefully these Guineas will start eating all the ticks in our yard and we can enjoy being in the backyard again. I'm actually going to build a second chicken coop soon. That will be a cottage style coop. Thanks for watching!

      To be fair…don’t wish that upon him. They’ll ruin what he does. Instead, figure out ways to support independent creators and cut the bloated creativity destroyers out of it.
      We have no time constraints. He builds what he wants. He sells what he wants. No producers telling him to say things in different ways. This is better.
      I support the notion that we wish the maximum success to him, and I agree. But I think the modern platform is not television. Hell, I haven’t paid for cable in over a decade.

    I'm a painter by trade, automotive to be honest. (but I've been painting houses for 30 years). I wrap my rollers and brushes in plastic cling wrap (nice and tight), and they stay nice and fresh. If you're going to leave them any length of time, like a week, throw them in the fridge. Works like a charm, and cling wrap is so cheap.

    • @s.wilson5199
      @s.wilson5199 Год назад

      I learned this long ago as well. Since my projects are DIY, I don't necessarily get to finish immediately. Doing this has saved lots of brushes and rollers over the years! Plus, cleaning rollers properly is a pain! The fewer times I need to do it, the better!!

As a girl who took woodshop rather than home economics, many moons ago, I can attest that being comfortable and SAFE using power tools is a gift. Modeling creating your own solutions for your children is priceless!💗 Having a father and grandfather who demonstrated this to me has paid huge dividends in my adult life! (When I haven't done the work myself, I know enough to keep contractors who think a woman won't know the correct way to do a job honest. Unfortunately, this skill has been needed far too often.)

    Entertaining video, and a nice design. Caveat to anyone looking to take a shortcut and reduce the height: you'll hate every second you have to be in there. I inherited an A-frame coop, and even at only 5 foot 4, I can't stand up in it. It's actually painful to try to work in there. Fortunately, we're building something different in a few days!

A saying of mine, "I need to find a man who's more of a "man" than I am." I finally found him! I do know more about construction, bushcraft, electrical, plumbing, etc. than he does, however, he's military and is well versed in the capabilities of women and is not bothered/intimidated by it. In fact, he's the first partner I've had that actually likes to learn from me so he can work on projects as well. It's so refreshing to not have to deal with hurt feelings when I'm trying to get shit done!

    Tick-flicking is actually a serious multi-level league sport in Arkansas. The tournaments extend from local elementary schools all the way thru divisional held at the respective county fairs and then the Illustrious Arkansas Tick Flicking State Championship (IATFSC tm). Teams of 3 go against 3 other teams in 3 minute rounds in a 30 foot triangular tall grass field. There are also 3 judges and medics on hand as well to do it all proper.
