Thank you and yes, it's a nice coop for sure! We just bought 100 feet of Premier 1's electric fence. The birds are going to have a very roomy surprise this weekend!
Hello my friend. Your chicken coop turned out very nice. Your chickens will be very happy. Could you write me the width and length dimensions of this chicken coop and the height of the roof and the height of the garden fence in feet?
Afternoon Halil. To make sure I don't give you wrong dimensions, just Google "Tractor Supply Sentinel Coup." It's holding up really great and actually still looks new. We are both very impressed with it and I hope you will be too.
Question: not sure where you’re located, but we have the same coop for four hens. We live in NE Oklahoma where the winters get down to between 0 to 20 degrees. How are you going to winterize your coop in order to keep the hens warm?
Morning Joseph. We're in NW Florida, juuuuuuust south of Alabama and it actually goes down to the high 20s in the winter here. During winter we will keep the vents open but close the sliding door in the evening then open it each morning. The birds (even the guinne hen) all snuggle up on the perch nightly, keeping each other warm. Since upgrading to a Premier One 100' electric fence we now keep the slider open 24 / 7 until winter arrives.
@@HomesteadOnThePreserve thank you. Our coop is just in back of our deck and is very predator proof. So, like you, we keep the door open for extra ventilation. However, we will close it in winter at night. Someone suggested we add extra pine shavings on the metal sliding pan for additional warmth. We’ll come up with a plan to keep the water thawed. We also have rabbits but I think they’ll be fine with their winter coats on. Thanks again.
The small vent on each side and the front door remain open during the hot months. The chickens can enter and leave the coop at will. This provides lots of air flow keeping them happy and healthy.
It actually is heavy because it's built very well. We move it with a wheel system called ChickLift which we did a video on if you want to check it out. Makes moving it pretty easy.
We were going to make an assembly video as a Part 1 but the instructions are so well made it's not necessary. Likely harder to follow while watching than just reading. If assembly troubles you, it's actually pretty easy and straightforward.
They got big quick!!! Love that you share and can’t wait to see you harvesting eggs!
Yeah, even since making that video they have grown alot. Should start getting eggs by early Sept.
Looks like a good coop for your startup. Wow ! Your chickens are sure growing fast. One looks like a Guinea hen 😎
That's Hailey and so funny, just this morning I told Bunny that she looks like a Guinea Fowl!
That certainly seems to be a better store bought coop. I like your rigging for making the door access easier. Birds look great 👍

That is a nice coop
We like it as much as they do!
Good hearing from you, hope all is well.
Wow they grew fast !!
Crazy man!
Awesome video. Thanks
Hey glad you enjoyed it!

Forgot.. The electric fence is 4 foot tall and made by Premier One.

@@josephrosser4609 Great plan and all the best to you and your critters!
What do you do if it gets to hot inside the coop at night?

How would you move it? It seems really heavy

Does not show you how to assemble together a coop.
