You all did a terrific job. One change you might want to make. On your main door to your building where you have a latch, you might want to put on a latch that you can lock because eventually raccoons will climb up that door and unlatch it because there's nothing holding it down other than you just put it inside the hole and then they would walk right in and have themselves a meal. They are very smart animals and learn real quick how to get in so you must do everything you can to stop it.
This is one of the best coupe videos I've seen yet. I've got some new ideas for my build. I already planned on building my coupe into an old west facade, but this kinda finalized some design points for me. Thank you
Love, love, love your chicken coop idea! Been looking for perfect coop and thanks to you I am finally getting my first chicken (hope my chicken coop turns out as wonderful as yours is). Thank you so much for this video 💕
Girl! My husband wanted something simple when I said that I WANTED a chicken coop and I've search far and long for an idea like this! I say, chickens need to be happy! A nice design does it for me especially that my garden is an eye candy... together they will compliment my back yard, this video was amazing thank you so much!
There are several factors in creating an amazing design. One resource I discovered that succeeds in merging these is the coop magic tactic (check it out on google) without a doubt the best course i've seen. look at this unbelievable site.
You really did a service by making this video. So often people post videos on here filled with bad information, but your video was perfect. I agree with everything you've said and done here.
I was looking at chicken coops on the internet and yours is the best one including those expensive and fancy ones. This reminds me of the old cicen coops you would see when I was growing up in Arkansas. No one whent out and bought a cicken coop they usaly built it from slats (with the bark still on one side) perchased from a local saw mill or just used some shed they already had ours was a hundred year old converted log smokehouse.
Love this - but it there like a basic checklist?? Yes, I am designing one - may have to do the shed version - since no one around me builds coops and may have get mine well out of town and very expensive too - but yes, a feedroom is a MUST!!
Here are some improvements you can easily do if you haven't done them already because, IMO, you need more space and ventilation. Store your "supplies" somewhere else and give that space to the chickens. Take those double doors, cut them open, and screen them permanently with hardware cloth. You could attach a short awning or overhang there if you like. Then line up the roosts on the far end away from the open door by attaching 2x4's (wide end facing up), or 4x4's, across the width of the coop about 3 feet up (dropping board optional). Then close off the open vents around the roosts in cold weather but keep the front wide open.
I love your chicken coop so much, could you make a video of the blueprints for the whole chicken coop including the run, nesting box, and storage area. Maybe could you post your blueprints. Also where did you get the shed I would love to get the one you have its beautiful.
I got the shed at Costco but my husband and his friend built it. It comes in precut pieces with instructions. I added all the windows and vents. It is an Everton Shed and when I bought it, it was on sale. I don't know if you still can get it on sale but last I checked it was still for sale.
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to uncover hen coop plans try Niposcu Chicken Coop Adviser (just google it ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my brother in law got cool results with it.
Im trying build my chicken run also. Great information! I'm having trouble with the hole where the wire comes out of the coop for the wire to open the chicken door from the outside. Where did you purchase it?
A GREENER LIFE we bought the wire at Home Depot or Ace Hardware. If you predator proof your run by extending the wire mesh at least 2 feet below the ground or use concrete blocks, you don’t need to have a door for your chickens on the coop. I hope this helps.
calvin jackson my husband and his buddy built the coop. At the very end I had someone do some finishing touches to make it look nice but if you are good at woodworking you could do it yourself with a friend.. thanks for your reply, and good luck!
My husband bought it for me from Sur le table. It was a while ago so not sure if you can find the exact basket but I am sure they have something similar.
Kelly Emberg Well a larger tank will hold more so that in between rains. There are a lot of advantages to having a system like that. The best advantage is that you don't have to fill it or clean it everyday. Also in hot weather you don't have to set out extra water. Just make sure the pipeline isn't in direct sunlight. Also if and when you have to go out of town, the tank can be filled and that will give your chicken sitter one less thing to worry about, one less thing for YOU to worry about. One last thing that you may never need to worry about. City water system emergencies. Here in the past few years have had several time where the city issued an either boil the water or just don't drink warnings. Well when that happened I was so glad that at least I didn't have to worry about my chickens getting water. Especially when the the do not drink or bathe at all, warnings came out. Stores were running out of water fast and truck loads of bottled water were being passed out. So with such little water the chickens and people's pets were a big deal. So a tank with a nipple pipeline is a great thing. Add rainwater harvesting to the mix and you are set. P.S. I forgot to tell you how much I like your video. Not only the subject and how great the chicken palace came out but also the editing, video production and not least your great voice and narration skills. TY for posting.
More than I should have spent probably and it depends on how handy you are. I wanted something that looked pretty on the property as well. You don't have to spend as much as I did.The Everton Shed was on sale at Costco for $900 something at the time but my husband and his friend built it. I paid for a roofer and a carpenter to finish it.
A fantastic coop, however an important point is.... ROOSTS must not be as round like yours!!!!- round roosts damage hens keel bone, their breast bone! The bone gets dented over time, creating hairline fractures, that then break. The whole process is painful and the ensuing death is agonising for the chicken. Alway choose a flat surfaced bit of wood for your roost wood, and either seal it with paint or oil it so it cant breed lice and feather mite eggs, like raw wood can! Choose a piece of wood that is no wider on top than a hen can grip, which is an average of two inches. So for each safe roosting perch you need 2 inch wide by 2 inch high(or 4 or 6 whichever you prefer), by whatever length required! Small note- If i were you I would clear laquer or paint inside your coop too, if it is raw wood like it seems, again, this is an issue most often forgotten by all but professional poultry experts, and we do it to minimise disease and parasite risk. Lino is awesome by the way, fantastic idea and first ive seen it, and i will be promoting it! Still seal the floor underneath though. You want to disease proof everththing you can, so anything not on a chicken, dies. That way when the inevitable wind bourne parasite comes in for a landing in your garden, you only need to bath the birds in disinfectant, and do a basic coop clean to neutralise the problem, not have to tear it all apart topaint poison on all the bare wood. THAT is why folk get recurring infestations, from the 5 types of feather mites, to lice, to dust mites or red spider mites, to scaly leg disease, the list goes on!! Check under your hens feathers and on the skin, by hackle base (bottom of of back of neck) and all the way around the vent (bottom) looking for any movement and any scummy grey looking miniature teeny tiny bubbles at the base of each feather. Good chicken people always check chicken bottoms in the sunshine or bright light, very regularly! It is the best parasite check you can do for their health, and of course treating its infestation will improve any hens egg laying 😀😀😀 Again, a beautiful set up, for more fun add a few perch roost SWINGS at different heights and locations in the yard, ones you can move, and the hens will excercise more muscles in jumping from one swing to another, and keep themselves fit and amused for hours... and once they master a set up, just change it around!
I don't know about selling your house. If you are handy it doesn't cost as much as your house for sure. Hope you enjoyed it. You don't have to make it like mine but there is a lot of good information regarding what you need for your hens. Thanks for your reply.
and prices going up all the time and supply chain issues too. I got stuck with what I have now and I am going the next step, but it ahs been costly in doing so. I can still use what I have now, as I get a more permanent situation, you never know when you have to isolate a chick or two.
Not only is this the best chicken coop video I've seen, it's also the best advice for chickens. Kudos to you for excellent content!
You all did a terrific job. One change you might want to make.

By far, this is the best chicken coop. Your chickens live in luxury.

Thanks, I researched for a while before I decided on the design I ended up with.
Thanks for your comment. I do love them like my pets so I have spoiled them.
Real Artistic skills are at peak
WOW!!! I will certainly build this type of coop for my hens. Thank you for sharing this.
Great ideas and what a beautifully designed chicken coop!
Wow! This is the prettiest coop I've ever seen!
Ahhhhh thanks for your comment!
That is a beautiful chicken coop! I hope to be building a coop soon, thanks for the video.

So cute! Happy Hens too 🐤🐥🐓🐔
My Mom recently asked my BF and I to build her a chicken coop. This was a fantastic video in re: to get us started. Thanks!
Great video! Love your run!
You really did a service by making this video. So often people post videos on here filled with bad information, but your video was perfect. I agree with everything you've said and done here.
Thanks Ashlie and I loved making it. So happy you like it!
Sounds like you have chickens as well. I tried my best. Thanks for your positive comment!

Very good video. You give lots of information, Thanks,😃
very cute coop, and explained well thanks
Woww..
Absolutely beautiful
Wow , this is another level , your chickens are very lucky , and they will be happy for sure . Great job .🏠
I’ve been researching coops for several months and this is the solution. Fantastic job! Where’d you get the weathervane?
Can you come build one for me!! Amazing!! love the garden surrounding too!!
We bought the starter kit coop since we only have 3 hens, still too small for them though. I love this idea!
Love this!!!
Nice! Beginner or practicing, these are great suggestions for us all to pick and choose from. Thanks,
Awesome job! Love your design! I'm always enjoying videos like this that gives me ideas on how I'm currently building my chicken coop.
Thanks, good luck you will love your chickens! I do. They are my pets and each one has their own personality.
@@themodelgardener each one has their own personality, and needs. - Oh yes they do!!!
Love this - but it there like a basic checklist?? Yes, I am designing one - may have to do the shed version - since no one around me builds coops and may have get mine well out of town and very expensive too - but yes, a feedroom is a MUST!!
Excellent advice.... with the money spent on the coop, I think you could easily afford a automatic coop door for the chickens.... lol
Neat! The best I’ve seen so far!
👍 👌 SUCCESS
I love it!
Well made video. Was interesting to watch. With this kind of look and stile I see an opportunity to bring home farming back to the fashion.
Thanks. I am happy you enjoyed it.
Nicely done...great if you have the space for a chicken resort like this one...
Awesome straight forward video! loved it...
Thanks for you sweet comment.

Beautiful chicken castle.
Great coop, love it. Can you tell me the dimensions of you run?
Best coop ever
beautiful chicken coop
very nice job, and with style
This coop by far is the best quality, can you give us an idea of the cost? We are ready to build. Great video!
Молодцы. Круто сделали
Can i move into your chicken coop?
Great video, thanks for sharing Kelly :)
Nice😘
I thought I had a nice coop until I saw this 😩😳👍🏻😂I'm inspired to expand
Your girls will love you for it!
I love your chicken coop so much, could you make a video of the blueprints for the whole chicken coop including the run, nesting box, and storage area. Maybe could you post your blueprints. Also where did you get the shed I would love to get the one you have its beautiful.

It's a great looking build, and although the size and functionality of my set up is almost identical .. yours looks way better ... well done :)

GREAT
Hi! Why not hay or even hemp material, instead of wood shavings, for comfort and heating.
Im trying build my chicken run also. Great information! I'm having trouble with the hole where the wire comes out of the coop for the wire to open the chicken door from the outside. Where did you purchase it?
A GREENER LIFE we bought the wire at Home Depot or Ace Hardware. If you predator proof your run by extending the wire mesh at least 2 feet below the ground or use concrete blocks, you don’t need to have a door for your chickens on the coop. I hope this helps.
That's the same tune Cowboy Kent Rollins uses!
If only I could get my chickens to lay golden eggs.
A great job. DID YOU DO THE CONSTRUCTION WORK? Without male help??? I admire your accomplishment.
calvin jackson my husband and his buddy built the coop. At the very end I had someone do some finishing touches to make it look nice but if you are good at woodworking you could do it yourself with a friend.. thanks for your reply, and good luck!
Yes ma'am I sure do that if I can I love their house I want my girls to have the same type! The more spoiled the better
Ana LaGoy that is so cool
Мне понравилось, похожую сделаю
Where did you get that nice looking egg basket?
A present from my friend Nina Deburgh
Very cool. Me and my wife just built a nice chicken coop for our 7 little chicks. It's so much fun watching my 3 year old take care of them.
My friend gave it to me as a present.

Looks great. I'm surprised you didn't add a rainwater collection system with water nipple pipeline.

How much did your coop and run cost to build?
More than I should have spent probably and it depends on how handy you are. I wanted something that looked pretty on the property as well.

I want to live here
a Cadillac coop!

Omg all that for few chickens lol

10k for a chicken coop?
Now all i have to do is sell my house afford this.
I don't know about selling your house. If you are handy it doesn't cost as much as your house for sure. Hope you enjoyed it. You don't have to make it like mine but there is a lot of good information regarding what you need for your hens. Thanks for your reply.
Ughhh the knife sound
Sorry, I edited it myself. I tried my best to make it interesting. I can't take it off though.
but if you want to have maybe 100s of chicken it cost to much for them to all live in luxury
ahahaha that's how people want things luxury only for appear
These must be posh chickens
I can't believe you built it
roost branches are too thin
You know for my bigger hens they prefer square dowels, so I might modify some of my roosts. Thanks for your comment!
why don't rooster
They are not allowed in this area. Too noisy! I have nothing against Roosters.
@@kellyemb12 ok thanks
can you help me learn English ?
OK, gotta say, very nice; however, I can assure you this is a $20,000 when it is all said and done. Don't laugh.....factor in all materials and labor.
and prices going up all the time and supply chain issues too. I got stuck with what I have now and I am going the next step, but it ahs been costly in doing so. I can still use what I have now, as I get a more permanent situation, you never know when you have to isolate a chick or two.
Wow. that knife sound was annoying....
I love it!
Thanks Laurie!
