Tour our NEW Coop | Building an Efficient Chicken Coop

Our new chicken coop is finished! I’ll show a quick over-view of the building process, and then give a chicken coop tour. Join me to see how this coop is designed for efficiency, and how we’ve adapted the coop design for the deep litter method.

Marta and Jon, I am so imressed with your chicken coop - what a wonderful project for each of you and the chickens will be living first class! Your young helpers should be proud of "working" with the chicks and gathering eggs. 🐔🐔🐔

Thank you! I think it'll serve our family well. It's been fun to work on these things together 😄

Good job on the coop and a good job on the video. Looking forward to more videos.

Thanks for watching!

I like how open that is! One thing I did for windows since I didn't want glass and I couldn't find good shed windows, so I made custom windows out of polycarbonate sheets. It's safer and tough as nails. A tablesaw blade is the perfect thickness for the sheets so you can run a groove down, make a frame and slide the sheet in!

Thanks! I’ll mention that polycarbonate to my husband. I bet that lasts a long time.
