I love that you show what digging in the ground in Arizona is like. Watching any home improvement show, they say "we'll just dig out a 5 foot hole with this plastic sand shovel... Easy as Pie!" I dug out my fence post holes with a crowbar and a sledge.
Thank you! But it’s only because I’ve spent many years short cutting projects and then have had to redo them or repair them. So it’s definitely a learned process😂
Thank you! But I only try to get things right now... after having to redo things over the years when I’ve tried shortcuts. I learned from experience that the short cuts only lead to redoing things😂

Here in New Zealand we use rapid set for in post holes. Put half the water in then tip full bag in and rest of water on top making sure you lift post to allow concrete underneath, plumb post and no mixing of concrete. Sets in 15 minutes.
We can have issues with our dry environment using those quick cure concretes, basically drying too quickly and forming cracks. I think NZ has a much better environment for those kinda bags. I’ve seen them in videos but a buddy of mine said they dug some up after some years and found that there were voids and issues of not fully hydrated and set Concrete..., which another guy had told him was due to our dry ground and hot environment. But who knows, might have to get them a try at least once😀👍
@2:20 The soil...it always makes me laugh when in the movies & TV shows people take bodies out to the desert to bury...yeah, right :) "I may have overdone it" "may have" MAY? If it wasn't overdone...it wouldn't be a Joe Project!! Seriously...this looks so nice...and I can't wait for the next installment
I think there is one now but usually my videos ave atleast 15-20. Seems like my trolls must not have gotten the notifications of this one😂. Thanks for checking it out😀🙏
It is a beautiful clean chicken coop. I appreciate you used small opening weld wire mesh for skirt of chicken coop. it is suitable to prevent harmful wild animal to harm chick and chicken.
Great job, we are so jealous of your ability to raise chickens, our HOA doesn’t allow us to have any. I wish we knew that before we bought our house, maybe one day we can get them to change the rules and thank you for sharing.
Thank you Daniel! Yes, HOA’s can be very weird with rules.... in my opinion of course. Perhaps you may be able to get them to lighten up a bit... or maybe just have a stealth coop😉
Thanks for sharing this informative video. Your multi layer ground defense is impressive; augmented with metal flashing on the door bottom. It may be useful to add a spring to the man door to keep it closed if you want your flock to remain indoors. Your practical, straight forward educational style is terrific. Wishing you and your family a terrific week. Cheers
Fantastic video. I love your attention to detail. I've had good luck wrapping the bottom few feet of posts with roofing tar-paper. I leave the bottom open and sit the posts on a base of sand/gravel mix for drainage, then set in concrete.
Lots!!! I love these projects a lot.... until I’m at that point when I know I should’ve been done a month ago😂. Then I start being mentality done with it🤪
We love watching your projects! Your chicken ghetto is waaay better than so many coops that we see, and then folks are amazed when their flocks are devastated. Well built things are a joy to behold! You have dirt (and caliche) just like we do! Thank god for breaker bars! Keep up the good work!
Pro-Tip...Posts last longer if you set them on a concrete pad at the bottom of the hole. I just pulled 40yo fence posts done this way...they have literally Zero rot! I couldn't believe it, and that sold me forever on this method.
Having lived in a coastal area of California for a long period of time I found roofing tar on any wood going into the ground really helps reduce rot. I also found flex seal works.
That’s what I used for my septic install I think.... but forgot about it until you mentioned it...haha. Of course it might have been something else. Was to prevent tree roots from growing near the lines.
Thank you, I really enjoyed it. We are discussing upgrading our chicken house/cage at the moment and it was nice to look at yours to get some ideas. Thanks again
Our soil is also defective here in Central TX. I had never heard about the digger bar or tried adding water. I know every time I've tried to dig a hole I've been pretty disappointed with my performance. Thanks for sharing I got some good tips.
Yeah, texas has some pockets of real crazy soil in some areas. I think central texas has places were things like limestone and ocean ‘coral’ kinda mineral deposited are present and then just a bit away thr people are dealing with pure clay.... can be really tough for each variable type you happen to encounter
Yes, I do tend to from time to time.... or so my wife tells me as she shakes her head😂 And yes do love AZ a LOT! Just hoping it doesn’t fall victim to the Californization wave🤞😬
@@homesteadonomics us California’s are going mostly to TX and Idaho. Hopefully they dont destroy those places too. Even SoCal Orange County is getting sort of ghetto in some areas. Drug addicted Bums everywhere.
Cool Build, could I suggest putting some flashing around the egg roof so if anyone scrapes against the roof it won't cut, especially for the little ones, years ago my daughter's face hit the edge of my garage lift up door whilst I was opening it and thank god she hit the door body and not the cladding edge that was quite sharp, all the best Dominic
Motor oil is stinky and nasty soup of toxic combustion products, which probably helps as a preservative. I use Copper or zinc napthenate wood treatment mixed with used hydraulic oil then dilute with diesel. The copper nap is a bit expensive but it goes a long way and destroys most rot organisms. Still smells but not as bad as sun baked engine oil.
Great job!! I've used that water trick myself. When you do for yourself, you figure out the easiest way. You always come up with ideas I hadn't thought of. Enjoyed it.
Thank you so much for your detailed videos. My husband and I built ours based on your guidelines and I wish I could attach a picture because we’re so proud of how it turned out. I call it our “chicken air bnb”.
Very nice as always. I like the idea of extending the hardware cloth out away from the sides of the run with the rocks. We have ducks and I have to build a bigger run and I believe I may have to do this as well.
I have used Henry's 107 Asphalt emulsion on the bottom of the post I have sunk. Douglas fir or pressure treated either way. I figure everything helps. Two coats with a few days to dry in between coats.
Thank you Raynola🙏. I tend to prefer simple classic designs for the most part.... unless I end up trying to add something ‘interesting’ that I want to try out. Then sometimes the design gets thrown out the window🤦♂️😂
The digging bar! Definitely an essential tool. Interesting idea with the wire around the coop. We dug a couple of feet down, but I like the way you did yours.
So digging down is definitely the better option.... so you did good! The reason I didn’t is because my old coop run before this one still had the wire in the ground where I cut it off. So below the new stuff there was previous stuff I simply didn’t want to dig out 😂
I would consider using the shanty town as a garden. Extend it to enclose the chicken's shelter and give them access underneath. Not a small project, lots of screening but the chickens get a ton more room and keep the garden pest free while getting added nutrients.
You know now that your daughter is getting bigger it's time to build her a proper playhouse for her age. I am sure she has friends to entertain and you know that little one she has just out grown. It would would add more square footing for rain collection and make your daughter a very happy little girl. Since your doing building redo's.
The shipping container playhouse will be getting a rainwater system soon! And it kinda was designed a little more as a tiny house look versus straight up playhouse for just that reason you mentioned 😉👍
AWESOME videos!~ We will be building a coop very similar to this thanks to your incredible instructions. Just a note though: you really need to change that hummingbird food more often though :) when it gets cloudy they need it replaced. The hummers will love you for it!! In the AZ heat you will likely need to change it every 2-3 days. You can make a big batch and keep it in the fridge for up to about a week or so. Then just don't fill the feeders as much and put the rest in the fridge. Works great!
Man them children always run off when you get those shovels & rock busters out. I had that same problem w/my son & daughter. But they got that pool they always wanted Mom & Dad's hard earned money bought them... 🤣🤣 I sure hope my grandkids do the same to them when they start projects around there home like mowing the lawn or when your under the truck trying to change your oil or their oil & you need a tool from the toolbox. I was taught different. I stayed out there in the blistering heat & if I moved w/o permission, I got the snot slapped out of my nose or my butt whipped until I couldn't seat down for a week w/o a pillow. Man times have changed. I don't know if I was the stupid one that listened or we just didn't do that or we knew we would get beat to an inch of our life's. I think times has changed & school teaches them that. My kids would always say, I'm going to tell someone about you whipping me & they will take me away from you. I finely say, let me help pack your bags, I drug him & his bags to the car & all of a sudden he would say....... I'm sorry Mommy. I love you Mommy. And oh course he didn't know what this line ment, I said I'm Mommy dearest to you for now on. I told him to look up that movie or ask a teach what it ment. OMG! He came home w/the movie one night & he watched it, came out of his bedroom & said I'm thankful you didn't beat me w/a clothes hanger.......... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Loved the chicken coop built. Hope you enjoyed the story. Man did my kids test me to the max & my Mother said, they say you pay for your raising, but I don't know what you did to deserve this. She said I was an angle compared to my kids. 🤔🤔😇😇 Have a great week Joe, Chris from Missouri
Oh boy😂. I know I tested my parents a lot as a kid😬. And I vividly remember getting some belt time on the bad ones....BUT, I definitely learned from those mistakes! But I must have done something right to deserve my little daughter because she is about the best most well behaved kid I could ever ask for. Smart, sweet, funny, creative.... okay okay.... I’m doting a bit😂. She probably just gets al that goodness from her mom!
I could watch you work all day. And of course, I learn so much. Hopefully, someday I will be able to tell you that I built X... we'll see. Thanks again for another great project/video. ❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎🐐🐕🦍🐿️🐝
Well thank you Laurie🙏😀. I appreciate that.., and I know you will be building plenty of things shortly. Just start with the small simple ones and work your way up👍
We were in awe at the workmanship of your trailer build. And that chicken coop was beautiful. I found you by looking up chicken coop plans and you popped up and now my husband and I are hooked on your channel. Learned alot about Arizona camping since we just moved here three years ago. Looking forward to watching more of you.
Dude I love it, Don't know if you remember but you suggested the white Mountains of Arizona to as a great place to live. Well just bought a house near Pinetop. Rabbits and chickens are first on the agenda.
Well that’s awesome to hear! We are actually looking, albeit casually, for some off grid land either in Navajo county or possible in Yavapai. It would be mostly as a vacation spot but also something to develop as a potential permanent spot. And should be up there in the next week for a quick little camping trip too😀👍
@@benblake4448 if I run into town for something I will keep an eye out. We will be camping off east fork near Buffalo crossing so occasionally we run to big lake or into town if we forgot something😀👍
I would consider putting a second layer of metal or wood under the roofs and inside the walls of the coop to cut down on radiant heat during the hottest days. They may provide shade from the sun, but if they are 140+ degrees it will still be uncomfortably hot under them.
It’s not a bad idea... but my location isn’t quite as hot as most AZ desert places. We are consistently 15-17 degrees less than Phoenix. So while it is hot, it’s not scorching hot at my house. As for 140 temps.... I think thr record in Phoenix is in the mid 120’s or so... but I could be wrong🤷♂️😀
@@homesteadonomics, it's not the ambient temp in worried about there. Surfaces in the sun are usually hotter than ambient. 90 degree day could see a painted natural roof that is 20 degrees hotter. 110 degree day could see that metal in the neighborhood of 140. It might be shade, but it would feel like using one of those outdoor propane radiant heaters for a sunshade. Then again, if you stand under that roof on a hot day and don't feel it, then I'm completely off my rocker.
Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge. I'm just getting started with my process of getting chickens for the first time, about to make my order. I love your coop and will likely try to replicate a smaller version of it, since I have closer neighbors.
As always, awesome video! Love seeing your building ideas.. I hope to have a tool collection like yours one day. Also, I will never complain about digging 2 foot holes in our Michigan mud again! Yikes, that rocky ground looks brutal! Love your channel Joe! 💕
Awsome video. I am in the process of getting chickens and building a run and hen house. I love your version. Thank you so much for sharing. I also have the solar door on order so can't wait to see your install. Have an awsome day.
I originally just planned to go with a hoop coop, but this set up looks SO much cleaner. I may have to consider stepping up to something like this that I can still keep portable.

This is 100% entertainment for me. And I keep coming back, so it’s working.
Well, I appreciate that! Thank you!
Awesome job all my jobs a I do it with my son I love family projects
Regards to you and all your family and friends
Thank you Samir😀👍🙏
Oh that wonderful Arizona dirt... soak with water, beat with pry bar, remove 1 cup of dirt, repeat.... holes I'm AZ aren't dug, they are earned!
Haha... that’s the truth!!!
Ranks top percent of over a hundred videos I've watched, pretty pumped to be building my chicken resort.
Your projects are always a good lesson on "How to do things right the first time." I love watching every one you post.
Thank you! But it’s only because I’ve spent many years short cutting projects and then have had to redo them or repair them. So it’s definitely a learned process😂
I learn and am amazed with every episode. A true perfectionist - every project is well thought out in advance and carefully completed.
Thank you! But I only try to get things right now... after having to redo things over the years when I’ve tried shortcuts. I learned from experience that the short cuts only lead to redoing things😂
Nice build, you are very thorough, it's an Arizona Chicken Palace. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thank you Harold!

Awesome chicken coop. Way over the top...lol but so cool. You are definitely detailed oriented. That is some crazy hard soil. Great job. 👍
Yes, I tend to go a little overboard on these projects...shoulda been done with this project a month ago. But I keep having to add this and that😂
@2:20 The soil...it always makes me laugh when in the movies & TV shows people take bodies out to the desert to bury...yeah, right :)
"I may have overdone it" "may have" MAY? If it wasn't overdone...it wouldn't be a Joe Project!!
Seriously...this looks so nice...and I can't wait for the next installment
Hahaha.... that is so true! And they’ve got it dug in less then 30 minutes with just a little sweat on their shirts😂
That coop is awesome! I would love to live in it! LOL!!!♡♡
Thank you for checking it out!!
Man Joe, you got a serious work out digging those holes...That was a neat trick you did by softening the holes with water.
Yeah this ground isn’t easy to dig once you get a few inches down.... when the sparks start coming then you know you’ve hit AZ ‘soil’.... rock😂
Always informative. Thank you.
Thank you Michael!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow! Could have really used these videos about 2 months ago. Just finished my own coop and this would have saved me a chunk of $$$$ and time.
Well, I’ve got more parts coming so perhaps you might be able to use water system, rainwater collection of some other idea on yours. Stay tuned😀👍

An excellent build and you have a good lil helper there handling the chickens!
In Australia we call them digging bars an "Australian pencil"
Good job..... Again!
Pro-Tip...Posts last longer if you set them on a concrete pad at the bottom of the hole. I just pulled 40yo fence posts done this way...they have literally Zero rot! I couldn't believe it, and that sold me forever on this method.
Having lived in a coastal area of California for a long period of time I found roofing tar on any wood going into the ground really helps reduce rot. I also found flex seal works.
Oh yeah, I can imagine that flex seal would do a great job!
Copper naphthenate works good for wood exposed to the ground. It smells like old oil too. Great video, thanks.
That’s what I used for my septic install I think.... but forgot about it until you mentioned it...haha. Of course it might have been something else. Was to prevent tree roots from growing near the lines.

Makes me want to build a coup and get some chickens. I live in the city. Nice job.
Chickens are a great animal to keep as they can often be kept in a small city yard pretty well. But you might not be able to have a rooster.
Best coop I have seen.
Thank you so much!

I treat the deck boards of my trailer with a mixture of diesel and use motor oil (annually). Works great. Boards will last forever basically.
Well that helps reinforce my thinking that this would work! Thank you!

Great to hear... and glad you found it helpful!😀👍
I would consider putting a second layer of metal or wood under the roofs and inside the walls of the coop to cut down on radiant heat during the hottest days. They may provide shade from the sun, but if they are 140+ degrees it will still be uncomfortably hot under them.
It’s not a bad idea... but my location isn’t quite as hot as most AZ desert places. We are consistently 15-17 degrees less than Phoenix. So while it is hot, it’s not scorching hot at my house. As for 140 temps.... I think thr record in Phoenix is in the mid 120’s or so... but I could be wrong🤷♂️😀
@@homesteadonomics, it's not the ambient temp in worried about there. Surfaces in the sun are usually hotter than ambient. 90 degree day could see a painted natural roof that is 20 degrees hotter. 110 degree day could see that metal in the neighborhood of 140. It might be shade, but it would feel like using one of those outdoor propane radiant heaters for a sunshade. Then again, if you stand under that roof on a hot day and don't feel it, then I'm completely off my rocker.
Very entertaining! For sure. 🥰❤️👌🏽 I love seeing her carrying the chickens.
She cares for them like they are her babies😂🥰
Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge. I'm just getting started with my process of getting chickens for the first time, about to make my order. I love your coop and will likely try to replicate a smaller version of it, since I have closer neighbors.
As always, awesome video! Love seeing your building ideas.. I hope to have a tool collection like yours one day. Also, I will never complain about digging 2 foot holes in our Michigan mud again! Yikes, that rocky ground looks brutal! Love your channel Joe! 💕
It is brutal... how I would love to have some of that fertile Michigan ground to work with!
Awsome video. I am in the process of getting chickens and building a run and hen house. I love your version. Thank you so much for sharing. I also have the solar door on order so can't wait to see your install. Have an awsome day.
Damn! THAT US SOME HARD SOIL! Definately a arm day ;)
Oh boy, it sure was!
Great Job,I love it..Looks very nice,well done!
Thanks. Nice work.
Thank you!
Looks like happy chickens
I hope so🤞😀
I originally just planned to go with a hoop coop, but this set up looks SO much cleaner. I may have to consider stepping up to something like this that I can still keep portable.
Thank you sir ,I appreciate your video

great skills work. I have learnt some tips. Thanks for the video..

your chicken coop is great, you are a great worker
Gosh you make this look so simple. I am now inspired to build my coop instead of hiring someone. :)
Здорово, когда у мужчины руки растут из правильных мест. Браво!
Enjoying the coop build, Joe. Will definitely use some of your methods when extending our run.
Thank you! And good luck on your run extension! 😀👍
