As you said, I joined for the chicken stuff lol. First congrats on the baby (the wife and I have four, 18, 16, 7 & almost 6). The 7 year old loves the videos and says you're a good builder lol. Planning on getting chickens for the first time 6 to 8. But can't build the Coop yet, I just had surgery and no lifting over 5 lbs for 2 more weeks. I'll get some in the early spring. Can't wait to see your complete build. Would I need to make this a little bigger for the 6 to 8 that I want? I think your other one was perfect for 8. And any chance you have a rough sketch of how to build it? At least the frame. That would help out tremendously! I know you did a detailed video for the other one so I may just use that and take some of your new stuff and maybe add my own, if that's okay with you. And yes I don't mind sending something through paypal
Hey Shawn, thank you for the kind words! This coop would definitely be a little small for 6-8 chickens. You really want 2-4 square feet of coop space and about a foot of roost space per bird. One nesting box per two birds seems to work out okay. The 4x4 coop I built for the other video would probably work well for 6-8 chickens. The basic framing of this coop and the other are very similar. www.flickr.com/photos/coopinstructions/albums/
@@E_Fleming , thanks. Somehow I had missed that video but watched it now and will tweak a few things but overall I think it will be perfect. And yes I'll hit you up when I get paid man!
I sent you $5, I know it's not much but I'm off work from surgery and not building mine this way (because of my own circumstances) but this was an inspiration for me so I wanted to give back to you.
♥️ chickens Our problem snakes .Killed 3 in 1 wk... snakes killing my baby chicks and eating eggs. I've got small size chicken wire.Each snake was over 3 ft long . I've killed over 14 snakes in 3 yrs ,some have been water moccasin,copper head,and non poisonous..NO hate please .I can't afford to feed eggs to snakes or get bit

Thank you very much! It is much appreciated. Let me know if you have any questions while you are building. Thanks again!

Any idea how they are getting in? Or are the chicks getting eaten when they are outside the coop?
First!! Love the chicken stuff
