A Chicken Coop with A Twist

- Опубликовано: 29 июн 2024
- Ready or not, I’m ready to reveal the corner project that has been in the works for several months.
After the new neighbors moved in, I had to crumble up and toss out the old plans for this space, and reimagine this corner piece of our landscape.
Come along as we give an otherwise, unsightly corner a face lift and bring the country life to the suburbs. This coop is certain to add a flare of charm to the landscape.

I’ve mentioned your channel is far and away my favorite gardening channel. Not monetized, no garden crew, not a huge property but the beauty and imagination transports me to another level. I look forward to every video. Thank you.
My sentiments exactly!
I am curious if you will keep watching Moxie Gardens if he gets a large amount of subscribers and had the opportunity to expand? Because I hope he does. I hope he gets millions of subscribers and can afford to buy a large piece of land where we can watch his talent expand to the fullest. I wish him every possible succes, and will be thrilled for him, just ad I was when Laura and Aaron went from a duplex with a backyard smaller than my house, to what they have now. It makes my soul happy to see people's dreams come true.
Agreed best garden channel!
This is not a garden. It is a paradise.
I keep saying to myself, "no more plants!", but then I watch videos like yours and off to the garden center I go! Lol. Just amazing!
Me too. And he's not the only one! Lol
Your comment is so relatable and made me laugh. ❤
I agree with you makes me want to go out and buy trees and flowers today. Unfortunately, it’ll probably be one of the hottest days of the year and it’s not really a good day to be planting trees.
You did a great job! One observation is architecture is about symmetry and level and I think both windows would have looked better being at the same height
❤❤❤❤
Your garden is just stunning! Great job on your new project. A window box would bring interest to the window on the left. But really you should do what makes you happy. That is what really matters!
I suggest if you haven’t gotten your chickens, yet that you consider silkies. I have a vegetable and flower gardens. Both of which your average backyard chicken will destroy. If you want to allow your chickens out of their coop and have them wander freely, silkies will not destroy your gardens. I have a section of the yard that is totally off limits to my dogs and to the chickens until this summer the dogs are still out but I have several silky chickens that run the yard and I’ve not lost one flower plant to the birds. I am now in the process of expanding my silkies and later on eliminating the larger birds. The ones that destroy everything. Silkies are the Way to go. And with your whimsical fairytale garden, they will fit right in. Hopefully this message gets to you before you purchase your chickens. Please do a little research on them first. Good luck.
You are so right about doing research on the breeds first. When he was talking about planting beautiful climbing vines to soften the appearance of the coop, I thought uh-oh.
Oh my goodness! You are such an artist and gifted builder. My start with watching gardening channels was with GA when it was relatable to me. They're obviously making a fortune for themselves, but I rarely watch anymore. You, on the other hand, are genuine and inspire me so much. My garden will never be the magical canvas as yours. Moxie Gardens for the WIN!!! I love your videos!!!
I agree about GA..
I agree about GA. I love what they do but for me it isn’t reality. I found myself getting depressed because I couldn’t do my garden to the scope of what is done there. I love to watch gardening on a much smaller budget friendly scale.
I just recently found this channel and so far I am loving the content.
Hi! Wanted to share my take on GA since I watch them too. I like that they have no drama content and I don’t mind seeing a completely different scale from my .17 acre property. They have a ton of very usable tips and very informative. It gives me inspiration that they’re simple humans like everyone else who put their minds and hands to work and doing something with the property they have. Just amazing that if only people have the will to do something and they get at it and persist-where they can end up in life. Too many lazy ppl out here these days who do nothing with what little or much they have. I mean look at all of my neighborhood-just a few do something with their yard. None of it has to cost a fortune. Grow your plants from seed packets and shop “free” section of Craigslist and you can get so far! Anyways, I like to expose my imagination to different types of gardening and learn from all and take something home. Eventually I’ll end up somewhere with it.
@@olgabykov2630 To each their own. I garden on my 2 acres alone. I don't have anyone to pull my weeds, or tractors galore, and I don't sell tools etc. How they're unrelatable to me is that there's more selling on their channel than any other. A tree haul for me is a five foot tree sticking out the back of my trunk. I don't see the imagination on their channel that I do on Moxie Gardens. We all measure what brings us joy differently.
I have such mixed feelings about GA these days. On the one hand, I absolutely love seeing folks be able to achieve unbelievable affluence doing what they love. Especially such good and genuinely nice people as Laura and Aaron. I also love the fact she’s inspired and taught thousands (if not more) new gardeners. That said, she’s a commercial gardener now, not a home gardener. It’s hard to find relevance to what we regular folks face in our gardens. I miss the days of her in her townhouse garden doing home gardening videos. I still watch daily, though, and enjoy seeing them live their American dream. Moxie Gardens is a lot like what GA used to be, and I love that so much. ❤️
Love it! You ARE a carpenter with a wonderful imagination. ❤
Your skill and imagination are fabulous! Always love your finished projects.
If you ever got to the point that you were eligible or wanted to monetize your channel there is absolutely nothing wrong with that! You are a gifted landscape artist and builder and you deserve any monetary benefits that come your way. All of this costs money, even with diy and repurposed materials. Also, I found your channel a few weeks ago and it’s been such an inspiration and pleasure to watch💕
Wow! That's a chicken house! ❤ window boxes with flowers would be beautiful on the coup.
This is a very great way to block out the neighbors ! I myself could never live in town, but you do an excellent job of disguising the fact that you do live in town ! 😊💐💚🙃
You did a beautiful job on the chicken coop. You definitely need to get smaller chickens like silkies. they are adorable, and no matter what size girls you get, they will destroy your garden beds. Hopefully, you are planning on ventilation. It can get really hot inside. Love watching you. Thanks for sharing.
Hen house art piece in my opinion. I feel like you may not want to repeat someone else's work but your idea might be repeated. Great job! You're garden is beautiful.. like a walk about oasis..
Love, love, love your garden and all of your idea's! So glad I discovered your channel. You have sooooooo many unique ideas.
A rambling rose called “Peggy Martin Rose” is covering my shed. I have to trim her back often or she would eat the whole building. The Japanese Beatles destroy my other roses, but Peggy Martin grows so well, she recovers quickly.
Great job!! A flower box on the higher window would be cute. Your imagination and hard work knows no bounds. We really appreciate any videos you are able to post
It’s a chicken’s dream home and looks perfect in your beautiful garden! Great work!!!
OMG…WOW…WOW…WOW!!! You and your wife have the “ultimate” in ideas!! Thanx so very much for showing us your yard and projects!! I’m amazed with every project you do!!
I don’t think that I would ever spend time in the house, I would always be in the garden, your garden not mine. Better way of saying that is if I lived there I would never be inside I would ALWAYS be in the garden during the summer months ! 💐💚🙃
Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden with us! I am so impressed and inspired! And please stop apologizing about your video getting long! We are here for the long videos. If we weren’t into gardening we wouldn’t be here watching. People who like short videos can keep scrolling IG and alike. 🙌
Holy Moly, you’ve out done yourself! WOW love it! Better yet you’ve now got hubby totally inspired to add whimsy in our fenced in yard, and add more bushes and trees. Thank you, now that he’s on board we can get moving on projects. Please continue to post, so we come be inspired with your ideas and twist-add-change up to come up with our own designs. (We’re in rural PA, using more of farm tool whimsy) Thanks again, enjoy the 4th!
Greetings from Olathe! You've topped yourself again, I don't know how you come up with these ideas. My yard/garden is so much smaller than yours but you've given me some great ideas. Your channel is my favorite and I'm getting addicted, LOL! It makes me sad when you talk about the criticisms you receive. All I can say is, and I know others have said it too, don't listen to them. You have a fantastic garden and an inspirational channel. They must simply be jealous. I feel jealous of your garden sometimes too, but I prefer to turn that into inspiration. Thanks for what you're doing and sharing!
Man!! You’re a genius! Your chicken coop is the BEST I’ve seen😳CARPENTERS ROCK!!
Love Love Love the level of EFFORT and CREATIVITY that went into this extremely cute chicken palace!
Perfection and a perfect solution!
OMG…that is SO CUTE! I’m a suburban gal…definitely not into rustic, but your little hobbit coop is so cute, it’s got me smiling ear to ear. Janey on her Dig, Plant, Water, Repeat channel just got silkies…might be fun to watch. Question on the chickens though, my neighbor got chickens and we all got a roach infestation…fortunately our HOA put a stop to it, but everyone fought roaches for a year. Is that normal?
Outstanding job!🎉. So creative and inspiring. You could join the Disney crew as an Imagineer and landscape planner. This reminds me of the wonderful details and creative scenes at Disney. A common thread runs through the garden with your circle doors. Lucky chickens ❤
I came for the moon gate. I stay for the amazing content!
Who cares about what other people think. There are MANY more people that absolutely love your garden!
Silkie chickens are the way to go if you don't want damage to your beautiful garden! They don't scratch and destroy your grass and garden beds and are very friendly! They are very people friendly!😊❤
Another HOME RUN!!!! WOW!! And now, as always after watching your video, I'm heading out to my backyard to be creative
Like so many of your viewers (and you mention it here) that Moongate was what first drew me to your channel. But I stayed for the amazing things you do. Your yard is something that 99% of us can only DREAM about. It's incredible what one can do with imagination - and TALENT (I mean, wow; not anyone can just walk out back and construct a magical chicken coop). I'd never want to leave this place. And I sent Laura a note telling her how she's inspired you, with a link to this video - maybe she'll become a fan!
That’s so great of you!! Thank you for the kind words and for joining me on my journey.
Did a search for garden tours and found your video. I’ve done a lot of garden tours in KC and Johnson County and would have loved to visit yours, so thank you for sharing. As a recent retiree, I'm working on transforming my yard and got so much inspiration from your channel!
I look forward to your show every week. I miss not being able to have access to my yard since I sold my house and live in a duplex rental. Only potted plants. Keep creating it's such a joy you share your talent.
You are right! I started watching you because of your moon gate! But it was YOU and all of the other projects that have me coming back! The ladder seems out of place. It doesn't add anything. I would remove it and save for another project. LOVE the chicken coop. Some flower boxes under the windows would be cute. Also, the yellow door seems like it needs some design or ornament on the front. Not sure what though. I presume you will "contain" the chickens in a yard area otherwise they will destroy your plants. Section off the front of the coop inside. That coop is way more room than they need. Also, you don't want them to have access to exit the front door when you open it. (chickens are hard to catch). The other benefit is that the area you section off would be the place that you store the food and supplies. We would keep our corn in metal trash cans. Anyway, I am so impressed with ALL that you've done! It is gorgeous and VERY inspiring! Now I am planning projects for my yard! Thank you so much for sharing!
I like the way you filmed & edited this. Love the birds singing. I have a similar open- neighbor-behind-me situation. You have given me inspiration to use my imagination & creativity in beautiful problem solving ideas! Great video. Love hearing your thought process!
I love what you are doing with your beautiful garden and the chicken shed is so cute! You are very talented.
Mike, this project was absolutely worth the wait. This is the most beautiful chicken coop I have seen of any you tuber. You mentioned Laura from Garden Answer. Her chicken coop is really nice but I have to say this is a chicken castle just like Jesse said. I love how the door mimics the moon gate . You did such a great job of hiding this project from view while revealing the Hobbit house . I cannot wait to see how you will continue to add more whimsy and to see inside once the hens are inside. Those hens are going to be so happy inside their castle 🙂
Another awesome project!!! You're killing it 👏
Looks smashing!!! GardenGate magazine should come and photograph your beautiful yard. Awesome job!! 😊
You are the best garden designer,love love it 💕💕
Wow! Just wow! Got a wee bit of Hobbiton vibe. Magical.
And there it is. What I was waiting to see. Awesome. BTW I don't think you talk to much. Love the garden.
Great Job! What a beautiful garden and fun space to explore. I love that you can’t see the entire garden and that you get to explore it
Wonderful addition Mike! The shot around 27:30 really is spectacular! It draws you in and makes you want to explore the space.
Wow! Great job, Mike. Your chicken coop is magical! I would love one as a "potting coop" with pots instead of chickens. 😂
Slow down. Take a deep breath. Give yourself a BIG pat on the back! You’re doing GREAT!!!
I love its Great!!! You have a wonderful imagination and I think your property is unique for the most part the garden community is very nice and supportive but sometimes people rude blow it of keep being you enjoy your channel 🦋🌸🇺🇸
I love everything you do, your garden is beautiful. Your wife is so lucky to have you. I'm new to your channel and I look forward to your videos.😊
I can tell you from a long time chicken owner, if they free range they will dig up all of your landscaping. They love scratching in dirt, mulch and virtually everything. The frogs, toads, snakes and anything else the chickens find will soon disappear from your garden space. The coop is adorable.❤
Love the new addition! Everything you do ends up looking like it's always been there, very creative. Thanks for sharing.
Your world is so peaceful. Thank you for sharing!
i just started watching your channel last month. I have to say your yard is so charming. I love that you use your imagination and aren't "copying" any other gardeners as I have seen before. Really enjoyed watching today and can't wait to see the chickens you choose!!
I love watching your creativity grow in your garden! How about a window box or two if the shutters are a no. The window boxes can be yellow. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your gardening journey!
Wow!! My chickens are so jealous of your future chickens. It’s gorgeous!!Window boxes would be so cute, a little pergola type/arch with a rose or honeysuckle would be cute too. A little picket fence off to the side could hide your feed buckets and tools if you wanted. So cute!
Wow! You have out done yourself. You have inspired me so much. My yard has never looked better. I started redesigning it last year, and it looks great! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful creation with us. It's so magical.😊
It is beautiful. You must be so proud of your creativity with the chicken castle. Also your landscaping meshes so well with the fairy tale garden.
Watch out chickens will destroy your garden!!! Love your paradise!! You’re my favorite!!!
You are an INSPIRATION to all of us! GORGEOUS design. I love the chicken coop idea. A bee house is a great idea if the chickens don’t pan out. You are so creative and a very hard worker. Japanese beetles killed all my roses so I gave up on roses. Perhaps a climbing vine over an arbor by the bridge would be a good substitute. THANK YOU for sharing your yard with us all ❤❤
Your garden is absolutely beautiful is a. Great job those tall trees accented by tall, narrow evergreens. Love the chicken coop.
Your garden is amazing! Great ideas on all!
I love everything you do. The chicken coop is an amazing design. I love the density of your plants. Thank you for giving me the initial inspiration and then to then make it my own!!!
you never cease to amaze!!!!!!!
Hello you do come up with wonderful ideas very inspiring
Flower boxes under the windows maybe, maybe a hinged area to make gathering eggs easier ohh so many ideas..a small ceiling fan couch looking roosting boxes..oh the ideas are endless
I love your yard/garden!! It’s so magical! Great job on everything including your new chicken coop!
Put a yellow Sensational Honeysuckle in the hummingbirds love it. It smells great! This is not a regular yellow one. Love the garden.
Great job! I’m always excited to see what new project you have going on in the garden. 😊 Keep sharing ❤
I think a window box would look great under the window on the chicken coup.
Great job Mike! I will second the idea of using a Honeysuckle vine as we have a 'Major Wheeler' variety and hummingbirds enjoy it and even had nest on it, ultimately 😜
Mike you 'ol dog - you've done it again! Great job. The chicken palace is so cool. Your creativity knows no bounds! Have you ever considered putting on some big old rusty hinges on the chicken palace door or the hobbit door? That would be cool. If you don't think a rose will work maybe a clematis would be nice - if it gets enough sun. Thanks for sharing.
I'm mostly a watcher and I don't normally comment. But, I was drawn in by your title. Chicken coops with a twist.
SO GLAD I DID, and Thank you for the tour as I'm a new subscriber 😊
There is so much I want to say, but will just say. I can relate to the wanting to move to a country area to have more freedom to have chicken, ROOSTERS AND MORE.
I ALSO LIKE THE FLOW OF YOUR GARDEN AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY YET, WHEN THE GRANDCHILDREN COME, THEY WILL LOVE IT.
LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING WHAT YOU DO NEXT AND INSPIRE ME FOR MY GARDEN.
So enjoy your channel. I love your chicken castle! The round door reminds me of a hobbit house. All you need is a roof garden. You and Bryan at Next Level Gardening both share that she sense of whimsical gardening. Thank you for recognizing Laura at Garden Answer. She has inspired so many peopled and I have learned so much from her and the other garden influencers who have followed after her. Can't wait to see your new chickens and what you name them!
Wow! Just when I think you've outdone yourself, you go on and out do yourself.
I love the chicken coop! It would really look like a Hobit house if you put a small open door like window on the door. One that you could open or close to look out of the door!
Beautiful, I love the chicken coop.
Those are some very lucky chickens...your coop is beautiful and it looks fantastic in your garden!!!
That is amazing you are so talented. Your garden is so
Magical.
Ohhhh, ok…you have a fab brother who has done all your metal work. You now have 3 large circular interest points (design rule) to calm the eye overlooking the gardens. You could find the same hinges for the sun door & moon door to tie the 2 projects. You could put the vines in square raised planter boxes on each side of an arbor arch built just at the 🐓door or between it & the bridge. You have done a smashing great job on this structure. I’ve only recently found you & can’t figure why you don’t make the new structure the garden shed & the shed the chicken area…but that’s on me.😊 You have done a beautiful job in your garden. GBY -Zone 9b Houston
It’s so pretty. Your garden is gorgeous
What a Wonderful Idea and a Great way to utilize that space!
Magical. Just magical.
Ultimately…you are very creative and I love your work. Looking forward to your next adventure!
I absolutely adore your chook house!!💖💖💖
I love it. It's gorgeous 😍
You could put a funny metal chicken hanging in the new chicken castle. Something along the lines of the fun sun on the other circle door only a chicken or chickens.
Hi Mike well you did it again 🤯😊my first thaught as the roof was complete was goodbye neighbors 😂 ultimate privacy!! This is beautiful and your carpentry skills are great your brother did a beautiful job on the door piece too love how you can look through the moon gate to this.Edan rose is a wonderful climber disease resistant however don't know about beetles.Jesse is right it's a castle.great footage too Jesse.Happy 4th to you all 🕊️💚🇺🇲
Very very well done!!
I’m in Kansas by Manhattan so I check your channel often for inspiration. I know if you can grow it, I can too. Thanks for putting out great content to inspire us to be creative. I love the new addition! The chicken coop looks amazing in that space! I love how your echoed the circle by putting in a round door. Very quaint and perfect for that space!
Very cute and imaginative! 💐💚🙃
Great job Mr Moxie. What a brilliant project you are a true craftsman. I like the combination of the cedar shakes and the corrugated metal accented roof. That cock-doodle-Inn is 5 stars. So enjoy your videos, thank you and have a blessed day.
It's wonderful and very peaceful. It doesn't really matter what other people think. It's what makes you and your wife happy. Love seeing a garden closer to where I Live. I am in northwest Oklahoma.
Absolutely beautiful! So glad I found your channel! I’m hoping when my hubby retires in a few years that he will build this for me!
This is beautiful. I love it.
I love your creativity & go to attitude.
I'm new to your channel, RUclips suggested, and it is really interesting. My first impression of your garden is it's diversity and coziness. One of the hardest things to achieve in a garden is the sense of enclosure and you've certainly accomplished that. Looking forward to new projects while I go back and catch up on your past video projects.
Fantastic!! I love it! Can't wait for the chickens ❤
I love your garden...and all the little surprises that come along 😉
Omg! That is the cutest chicken coop! ❤
Wow oh wow this is absolutely amazing!! Your own piece of heaven on earth!! I wish you lived close to me to give me ideas!!! ❤❤
Absolutely beautiful! It would be awesome to put your nesting boxes inside the door for easy gathering of eggs. We have 7 chickens and a rooster! Which is too many we get almost a dozen eggs a day so we give away a lot and my 3 dogs get an egg a day.
