DiResta's Cut: Chicken Coop
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 май 2016
- Here’s a problem we didn’t expect Jimmy DiResta to have: Needing to house fast-growing chickens. The chicks he and girlfriend Taylor recently acquired to populate their upstate farm have rapidly grown into chickens, and they’re getting too big to live in the house. Solution? Build them a chicken coop.
A predator-proof chicken coop, naturally. The flightless birds will require a fox-proof dwelling, so Taylor designs one, then Jimmy builds it, using a time-saving stacking method to keep the framing square. (By the bye if you’re wondering why the camera angle looks odd when he’s up on the roof, it’s because with both hands occupied, Jimmy had to hold the camera in his mouth.)

Another great video, nice job on the coup. Mr Diresta you've got a great girl, she welds, not afraid to get dirty, build stuff and shes cute. Good girls are hard to come by, she's a keeper! I was lucky enough to have a great girl for 31yrs before she passed from brain cancer, she made my life infinitely better and great sons. Enjoy every day with her. Keep the videos coming, my older son got me started watching them, you make it all look easy. Thank you.
Great video Jimmy, love to watch all your stuff and fill that in with the podcast! You're always an inspiration!
Great video Jimmy - I'm about to start a coop myself, so it was great to see what you've done. I would highly recommend a board under your roosts/perch as the chickens will crap there often and it's easier to scrape a board than to constantly replace bedding. We try to keep things real clean and the droppings board has helped immensely. Thanks again for the video - I enjoyed it!
Your outdoor construction videos never get old with your great shots and camera angles! Great stuff!
Absolutely amazing man!!!! So cool Taylor visioned and helped build it!! You always do such great work!!! Ty for sharing!!
Cool to see you and Taylor working on a project together. Thanks for sharing!
Got a nice chuckle from your observation that on the last piece you have figured out what you should have been doing all along. It's heartening to know that others have the same experience.
I am a HUGE Diresta fan, but especially LOVE these narrated vids. PLEASE keep em' coming!
Amazing as always Jimmy, I love how you keep things simple but make them awesome at the same time! Big Fan from Scotland
This is precisely what all of your videos need....more Taylor!
I came across this video and thought, "huh, 8.1 million views, let's see what they got." I was not disappointed! Such a great build! Thank you for the motivation!
Just in love with this kind of work, audio comments are like the job, brief but sharp, very smart. a million thanks for all the inspiration you give us, Mr Diresta, the best for decades ^^
Another great build, the 12+ minutes whizzed by. Cheers Jimmy!
Jimmy I like the commentary you provide for these videos.
I like your work.You make me happy ! Positive energy !
A woman that walks on rocky ground outside bare footed. Great! I wish you two the best of luck Jimmy.

I'm holding out for a DiResta weather vane. You gotta. You gotta do it.
Love it! Amazing job as usual!!
Hey Mate, Great work.
One of the better Chicken Coup videos on here.
That is a GREAT video! My wife is obsessed with having chickens and now she is bugging me to try and duplicate what you created. Lol. Thank you very much for sharing.
Great build as usual. It's clear you got as much of a kick out of "hardware cloth" as I did.
Amazing, I am going to be building a shed and this gave great insight on how to do some light framing!
Hey Jimmy, love your videos. I got a great tip from my grandfather when building my chicken coop - use a garden fork to tension the square mesh as you fix it off. Just stick it in the mesh and lever against the framing member. my whole coop is tight as a drum.
Jimmy, heavy clear plastic on outside and inside window works great in winter, if you build a taller rost for them at night, you can build trays that go under the rost and put PDZ (an ammonia neutralizer that you can get from Tractor Supply stores) in the trays about 1-1 1/2 inch deep and the droppings will be very easy to clean up using a cat litter box scoop. This also keep the odor to a minimum. Great build as usual, TU for the videos.
Good job. Very good video well done. You take care Michael from Australia.
Great Work on the Chicken House/Run! I keep chickens (about 30 right now) 1 idea ... I think you are going to want to raise your perches up at least 18 inches off the floor. It gives you more flexibility as to how and where you put your laying boxes. Most experts say perches should be much higher than the laying boxes. and chickens love really high perches - even up to the ceiling. In fact my chickens all crowd up on the top 2 perches or roosts. Now that they are full size some of the lower ranking chickens are having to use the 3rd row down. :)
This is awesome! Not just the building part but also the narration is interesting.
Congratulations! Beautiful place and great work.You are the best.
So are you saying if you didn't have guests, the chickens would continue to stay inside your house? :P
great video. finally my favorite carpenter builds something I've built. thank you for the videos
Nice honest build. Great work.
Idyllic. Beautiful. Fun. Great video Jimmy!
I hope you both get many healthful breakfasts from the "crew."
Great work! 👍
One thing that could be improved is giving yourself the option to move the cage on all three sides of the coop periodically.
Rotating the location of the cage would enable the grass to grow on the two sides that are not being used at any one time.
So the chicken would have a much cleaner, healthier out-coop area, and have green grass and vegetation to include in their diet.
looks good! i built a 10X12 shed very similar in my yard with the same 2x4 roof. it's been fine - even with the rough winters we've had.

One of the simplest chicken coops I have seen. Going to steal the idea.
Nice coop. We did something similar a few years back, I just did a shingle roof and siding to match our house.
One thing we have learned is the chickens overwinter just fine, as long as there is good ventilation. No heat necessary.
Keeping their water from freezing... well that's a pain in the arse :)
Have fun!
Hey jimmy, when you make the nesting boxes, cut a hole in the wall and mount them on the outside with a hinged lid. That way you can collect the eggs without having to go inside the coop and get chicken crap in your crocs.
Nice job as usual Jimmy.
Beautiful work as usual Jimmy.
I really like it. My mom would love something like this. Great work!
I use the Paslode nail guns a lot on some jobs, apparently the gas is propelled from a rubber balloon inside the canisters, when the canisters go out of date the rubber balloons perish and loose the elasticity = ballache.

I used to be horrible at building chicken coops. I used to pay a fortune for them too! I no longer suffer from those problems anymore. Here's a great guide for building affordable chicken coops: ChickCoop.xyz
Lucky Taylor to have such a good dude with fantastic woodworking skills! You rock!
Beautiful!!! Happy new year 2020
Love using rough sawn lumber for coop builds. 16" O.C. spanning the 8' you will be fine with metal roofing. You may run into problems with ice and snow build up on the chicken wire top. For the window all you need is some plexi if you want to keep it simple to keep the drafts out. Great Job, like the mix of the breeds of the chickens.
The cheapest hardware cloths I found, I got a few days ago in Lowes. It was like $19 for tex feet x 30 inches. Ive been using it for years for chickens and rabbit cages. Think of a good system for watering the chickens. I just built a 4 inch PVC system thats gravity fed and had auto filling poultry cups that I got on Amazon pretty cheap/ One thing I wold have suggested was the roof, if you could put something that lets light through, it would help a lot plus help keep it a little warmer in the winter. Try aruchana chickens, they lay blue eggs!
This makes me want to build a chicken coop, and I don't even own any chickens.
you can buy froze one from kaufland and trow in it
I love your work, can't wait for each video!
Thank you sooooo much, I truly appreciate seeing this...
Really enjoying these more Architectural videos :)
It's not the Taj Mahalo man, it's a chicken coop. Besides, with that low of a pitch that would be a long seat cut and take alot of strength out of that 2x4...
***Taj Mahal
I like it as Taj Mahalo.

nice thank you for sharing.
you can train chickens to follow you with old bakery bread.
they love and need greens [weeds]
good luck with then.
Amazing man. You put a lot of effort. Thumbs up 👍
Great video, love all the details and narrative. Those chickens 🐓 will be very happy 😃

btw nice project
Great build Jimmy! I know its not your style but on larger builds like this I think it would be cool if you turned the project in to a series of videos because and showed a bit more detail. Ive never used a nail gun or did any framing and would like to hear explain them. I learn a lot from watching your work. Thanks for the vid!
Nice build... Thanks for sharing!
You did a great job. What a beautiful coop.
What about damp? Won't the base of the wood rot over time?
I was gonna say Taylor has a good pair of legs until I realised they were yours! Good work on the coop, more work needed on the legs.
So sturdy. Really awesome coop 👍❣️
Great build you did there, very nicely utilized
"Hardware cloth" is the wire mesh with square openings, welded or soldered at each corner. "Chicken wire" is the hexagonal spaced wire that is twisted into a "wire cloth".
rstevewarmorycom Often you may see what you call chicken wire, is also called chicken netting.
It's a serious correction because chicken wire can easily be ripped through. Netting is usually only for birds of prey overhead as a protection. I imagine critters can get through it like raccoons even on a roof. Always use hardware cloth. 1/2"
@@jessicamcneice5791 Thats' true, but used heavy duty hardware cloth with only 1/2 inch openings.. I'm not a Spring chicken at 60+, but I can rip the lightweight hardware cloth (metal mesh) like paper with are hands.
There's a cool and inexpensive fencing we use inside a fenced in 50' x 50' area. I use the plastic deer netting and I can easily move it for their enjoyment and not need a chicken tractor as this temp run always open into the smaller permanent run with their coops.
It doesn't seem all that fool proof to me either but it seems to work. Maybe double layering could help even more. I am about to buy one , and they all have hardware cloth.

if your not careful. those chickens will be wanting custom made beds, an escalator , and a mirror ball for when you are not home. and of course they need your logo engraved into the door with gold ... love your work keep on and play hard.
And later on they will file for divorce and get away with everything.
Nice build.
We use a 5 gal bucket with a 90 Deg 3in elbow and a screw on lid to help keep down on the chicken food mess. They wont toss it or dig thru it as bad. The screw on lid helps for easy check/fills and having the elbow up an inch or so from the bottom makes it easy for them to eat. I only put one, but I think 2 or maybe 3 would be good for more chickens.
thanks for your time and good job
"Before I put it in place. I screwed it quite a bit." Diresta, you are my hero!

Roofing tip: Take a foam pad up with you .It helps keep traction and protects you from the heat of the roof.
His camo crocs could always double as foam pads. ha!
Im not sure if you can get them in the US, but in Australia every second house is roofed in corrugated iron and roofers wear sand shoes called Dunlop Volleys. They'll easily grip a 30deg roof.
+thermmaloverload I will look into those. Have a great day.
i think most athletic stores carry them. used for rock climbing
garden shops sell them for knee pads for gardening
That was a nice build. And perfect commentary
Hands off man ur excellent I like ur finishing...
Where's Welder? You two complement each other, both very talented.
Jimmy rocks out with his crocs out!

Mind blown @ all the dislikes..must be people who can't do things for themselves..Great vid as always DiResta..
Nice job. On the video as well as on the framing and the end product itself!
Hope you add exterior NEST BOX to retrieve eggs, without entering the pen.
Really cool build, as always

Why do chicken coops only have 2 doors?
If they had 4 doors, they'd be a chicken sedan... :D
Buh dum TSSSS!
Nice one
I think you ruin the joke with the spelling :P
Fixed!
YAY :D
that was CLASS mate love it
Jimmy Diresta is one of those people who can make chicken coop construction actually interesting to watch.
Now you can design and build a movable coop you can move around with your tractor to fertilize your garden.
Thumbs up for painted tools.
Hd say be v the UK
the chickens are so cute! love your work!!!
It looks like you have a beautiful piece of property :-)
That is one fine looking chicken coupe !!
Whats a Forrest ???
Now I Don't Feel Bad For Buying a Porter Cable Nailer thank you Jimmy Great Job

I never took you as a crocks man. lol
Hahahah that's BC I have to remove the shoes for the house. I man never wants to do this. Crocks make it doable.
Hahaha, love it!
+jimmydiresta Hey Jimmy could you design a 🆒 looking portable BBQ pit and make it that would be so awesome👍✌
Do you know why Crocks have those holes all over? It;s to let you dignity seep out

Think we need a diresta and camerata collaboration
Good job man, well built
جميل جدا 👍
Honestly kind of surprised the GF doesn't have DiResta on her somewhere...
Maybe she does 👀👀🍑🍑
I foresee a tramp stamp DiResta tattoo in her future...
Hot Iron Maker's Mark on the left ass cheek. . .
In all seriousness though, this build was really cool!
You never know, she might have a hidden tattoo somewhere ._.
Taylor has a butt.
So now you and Tim Sway can compare poultry stories. You should feature them on a podcast. Oh and it only makes sense that you would be scared at at least one point in this build. Great work as usual!!
No bird mouths on your your rafters?
