Tip for you Beau if you want to avoid a traumatic fox attack - either take that rebar and attach it to the floor of the coop, or dig a trench about two feet down around the outside and fill it with chicken wire before backfilling. Foxes will dig under those sleepers otherwise and you'll have a really tough morning.
As a german backpacker I would totally live in your chicken coop for 40 bucks per night. It's like a cat cafe. But with a bed and chickens. Great stuff!
@@Targe0 Lol, I once stayed in a particularly rowdy Queensland backpackers hostel and slept like a baby. A German girl told me in the morning "you sleep like a stone"........ didn't know whether to be flattered or offended?
Easier than digging down (about 2 feet minimum) for anti-fox chicken wire, instead just lay i out *horizontally* about 3-4 feet on the surface around the coop, and use a few tent pegs etc to fasten it to the ground. The foxes will try to dig, and won't be able to penetrate it. They'll try different spots, but they usually won't try going further away from the coop until they find the edge of the wire. They'll eventually assume the ground is impenetrable and give up trying...
My worry (which might be misplaced) with that would be that if it lifts up it it could become a stabby/tripping hazard for the kids. Maybe bury it a couple of inches?
@@alexandermorganti7468 That's true, need to be careful to keep it safe for the kiddos. In time the grass ggrows through it and kind of locks it into the ground so it's barely visble, but absolutely could throw some soil/ mulch. gravel etc over it👍👍
Awesome work Beau. While on a motorbike trip earlier this year I actually rode past your place and saw the chicken coop, and at the time even said to myself, I bet he made a film about building that, and 6 months later, here it is. Well done legend. 👍🏻
Great coop. We’ve kept chooks for 18 years, pretty successfully until this year, when I decided to install an automatic door. Fox cased the joint. Saw the door opened and closed at the same time every day. Took most of them one day and came back next day for the rest, while I was still in mourning and didn’t have the presence of mind to turn the blooming’ thing off. Glad to see you’ve not made the same mistake.
That screen door needs something tougher in front of it to keep predators out. Also, chicken wire is only good for keeping chickens in, not particularly effective at keeping predators out. A predator apron around the coop is a good idea as well to keep anything from digging in.
That's awesome :) I have 14 free ranging chickens here, they're the best thing I ever did I reckon! BTW chickens drink a LOT of water, especially in Summer, and they make a lot of mess so do whatever you can to catch chook poop in the common areas (their sleeping area for starters) to make the clean up easier. They need a lot more space than that too but I guess you'll be letting them out once in a while? They also need a high (flat not rounded) perch for sleep, they like to feel that they're too high up for predators to reach. My chooks sleep very high up in a tree. And don't forget oyster shell or some other extra calcium source. Helen was right :P Closer to the house would have been better and further away from the road. You're going to love having those girls!
you need to fox proof the the run they will quickly dig under the run ,dig a channel around the edge of the run about 600mm deep drop concrete pavers/slabs in vertically or fill with concrete. the chucks will also dig holes where you don't want them to form dust baths and digging for food. the large gauge mesh you used on the end wall and above shoulder height will allow rats and mice easy access. The fly screen door needs proper mesh a fox can burst through fly screen I've lost chucks this way. The chucks need a roost box something you can close off securely inside the run not just for fox protection but so every day when you lock them in and let them out you can inspect the birds for any issues. don't normally comment like this but don't want your girls finding the remnants after a fox attack. I've learned these lessons the hard way. i currently have a flock of 150 in total old breeds (not for eggs but to keep the breeds going, the eggs are a bonus).
Apparently European breeds of chicken tend not to be diggers tho their probably much more expensive here in Australia lol. I don't know how they tend to do on the veggie patch but someone told me egg laying duck breeds tend to be more polite about it(they generally require some amount of water tho)
Beau it's such a joy to watch you living in curiousity, delight and experimentation! It buoys the spirit to see someone upholding and grappling playfully with these values (& chickens) in the rapidly evolving online space. Thanks for being you ya cheeky bugger!
This reminded me so much of my dad who built sheds out of whatever was to hand. Great job, fun story! Your girls are so blessed to have you and Helen as parents.
I get genuinely excited when you post new content. You are an interesting gentleman and I appreciate living your adventures vicariously through your videos.
Beau, it's gotta be said, your family-centred videos are some of the best - must be a real defining and grateful fatherhood moment sitting in that coop with 'all five' of the girls at the end there. Can only hope to be this kind of Dad one day. Keep building with all that joy!
Hey Beau, I really get the "it needs to be straight on the floor" thoughts. But a mobile chicken coop with wheels would have been the way to go. For moving them around to fertilize the whole garden without needing of grounding material (stray or wood). Plus, this spot of your garden will form now on turn into Mordor haha Good luck and a lot of joy with the ton of eggs ;)
I'm going to join the chorus of fox proofing advice. I'm also a junk builder. Old busted up concrete as a border is easy., 2 foot wide. Cypress pine prunings to edge the concrete then pegs out of scrap wood to wedge it all in place. Someone also told me that foxes can charm the chickens to get them to stick their heads through the chicken wire and then they eat their heads, gruesome. I think rather that they are search for green feed outside the run. Either way I put 3 foot high vertical corri as the next layer behind the concrete. Someone already commented of the fly screen door. I love the look of those fly screens got a few of them waiting for their forever home project. Just fixing some of that other wire you had to the outside bottom of it with u nails would do the trick and it would still look cool.
The chicken coop looks amazing! It really reminds me of a lot of the old houses in my hometown. There used to be this old lady, she lived in a old house that leand against a chicken coop, under an old oak tree. When we would walk by on my birthday, she would give me an egg. A lot of the construction from That time used whatever was there. The combination of tin, wire fence, old wood and windowframes, really fits that aesthetic. Beware of the foxes tho! They will get in somehow, they always do. Best you can do is to overbuild. Your construction looks great, it needs a little bit more safety tho.
What do chickens eat? Literally anything that does not eat them first, seeds, bugs, cows, horses ... no matter how long dead. 4H called them something to the effect of self propelled stuff-to-protein converters.
I am a Beer Brewer living in Berlin and I fooled around with the Idea of getting chickens myself. It's a low maintenance way of getting rid of unspent grains. That's how I stumbled upon your RUclips channel and I absolutely love it!! In a word that cares more about next year profit than future generations livelyhoods, someone like you is an outstanding exception. Even if you sometimes feel like you are the exception in an careless word, you inspire millions to pay attention and start caring about the planet and it's future. I'm getting chickens next year and I will try my best to build my chicken coop with mostly recycled wood. Thank you so much for being a lovely bloke, that inspired me to take on this project.
This has given me some inseration i must say. I'm going to build a duck pond of sorts next spring. Going to draw some insperation from this. Thanks alot
You married well, mate. Helen's gorgeous, handy with tools, supportive of your madness, builds beautiful babies, and a good sport. No wonder you love her. And you did a lovely job of Chateau d'Chook.
Looks great! As others have said though, I would be quite worried about foxes. Not sure how much of an issue they are where you live. Also, the chickens will probably tear up the ground pretty fast. We normally move our chickens around for this reason, but maybe less of an issue if the ground is dry most of the year.
Oh she's a beauty! I've got to be honest, I had a couple of dad tears for you when those little look-like-their-mom girls you've got were in the coup with you and the chickens. Just a beautiful video, classic Beau. Good on ya.
My suggestion? Identify the predators in your area (including arial) and make sure your final coop is going to withstand those pressures. Although its life, the first time your little gals have to deal with dead chickens is gonna be hard on everyone. My motto? Everything loves a chicken dinner! My daughter (now 19) used to walk her pet chicken on a leash......
Beau, I wanted to say that I love your channel and your content! I also wanted to say that I believe too in a world where you should repurpose everything you can. Every object has it's own story before it's repurposed, which makes every new creation more special and meaningful when constructed and used. I'm happy to see more people that know the cost of true labor and that nothing is as simple as just to buy and throw. Thank you for another amazing and true quality video!
Long time admirer, and someone who has been inspired by you since my teens. I had a couple of chickens and other fowl throughout my childhood at my parents. The structure looks great. What a gift and something that will leave a lasting impression. Chickens like raised areas and 3D space so that they can go on and off things to feel safe especially at night. Installing a couple of branch-esque poles would make this project a 10. Love from the UK and by the way you inspired me to start a RUclips channel with my friends a while back. it’s called Outside Your Zone and we’re currently sailing around the world. All the best 🧡
The supervisory authority for chicken coops approved the building with two very satisfied faces. Your girls were visibly very happy. I think there is a fine line between people who collect everything and people who build something from what they have collected. I was someone who kept everything and now I'm someone who still keeps a lot but not all the stuff. It has to have potential. Thank you for a very nice story.
Great job Beau, but I would've used some thicker wire, not only will foxes dig under, if hungry enough, they'll happily chew through thin wire. Best for it to be at least 2mm thick to be on the safe side.
This video reminds me of my first junk project, 5th grade, didnt wamt to go to school. I was tired of my tv sitting on the floor so i found two 1'x1' (merican feet) plywood squares that looked like fake wood flooring, got a single 1"x2" and cut it for the legs, i atteched the two squares together at the seam with a small section of 1x2 in the middle, sister8ng them together. It was junk, but very effective, and it worked. Had it for 10 years at least.
Beau, I love watching your videos. Not only are your building a heckin cool chicken pen, you're doing with with junk materials and STILL making it look wonderful, you're doing it on a zero budget and you're doing it with love. I absolutely adore the idea of getting the girls something to look after - a sense of belonging, a sense of responsibility and a sense of accomplishment. Wonderful stuff, thanks for sharing my friend!
Love these junk projects mate, they're a much grander/larger scale version of the sorts of things I find myself doing! Using bits of random crap you've got laying about and trying to jigsaw them together into something useful is such a fun process and, just like you, I love they way these sorts of things look. They feel a lot more organic and full of character than what you build if you go and get the "ideal" materials from the hardware!
I'm a developer, I am not good around tools and materials and construction sites. When I look at these videos I wonder how it would go if Beau was to teach someone like me for a day how to build a shed and then somebody like me would teach Beau how to make a simple application. that's a video I'd watch in a hearbeat, seeing what Beau makes of our craft :)
Anytime I see A Beau video: Beau is an international treasure, none of us deserve him. Anytime Helen shows up in his videos: Not even Beau deserves her.
Fantastic video! It reminds me that I need to focus more on enjoying the process when working on projects. I think if I embraced the journey, I'd take on more of them. Thanks for the inspiration
Zero dollar projects are the best projects! we once build a shelter for our geese for zero dollars but unlike yours also with zero life lessons 😂. Good onya Beau!
Tip for you Beau if you want to avoid a traumatic fox attack - either take that rebar and attach it to the floor of the coop, or dig a trench about two feet down around the outside and fill it with chicken wire before backfilling. Foxes will dig under those sleepers otherwise and you'll have a really tough morning.
Concrete mesh on floor n walls or similar
Are there foxes in Australia?
@@orangekayak78 yes, definitely.
@@orangekayak78yeah the aristocracy bought them over to hunt like "at home"😅 don't start me on rabbits😊

As a german backpacker I would totally live in your chicken coop for 40 bucks per night. It's like a cat cafe. But with a bed and chickens. Great stuff!
And the risk of being pooped on in the night is only mildly higher than a normal backpacker hostile. /s
Can't tell if that's a comment to the quality of the coop or your ability to sleep anywhere
And eggs for breakfast 👍
@@Targe0 Lol, I once stayed in a particularly rowdy Queensland backpackers hostel and slept like a baby. A German girl told me in the morning "you sleep like a stone"........ didn't know whether to be flattered or offended?
as an american backpacker, this would be 60 a night WITHOUT the bed if someone built it here
the ulta-recycling subgenre of beau vids are always most comforting
True. There was no pain of watching someone running some ridiculous distance
He's what you call a productive Hoarder.
Because he actually gets around to using all those things he holds onto because they might be useful one day.
Ultra-recycling would be cool cycling event where you have to do ultra distances on some junkyard salvage bike.
dudes a fake. have you seen the beer ads he's been in?
As may a folk have mentioned, you need a fox plan Beau! They'll dig their way in to chicken dinner in no time!
Are there foxes in Australia? Damn, New Zealand really did win the lottary... expect for those pesky little possums invading us.
@@kaimanawastudios Several failed introduced pests... this is why quarantine is quite high compared to other locations.
Get geese, they mess everything up that tries to mess with the chicken
Waking up on a cold morning, three layers on, cup of something hot, working on a scrap project; that's heaven right there.

We do the same thing for turkeys, bury the mesh under some mulch or something
great beau, now we NEED an update every 6 months or so on the chickens. CONTENT.
Every 6 days will do.
I think it's time for Project 24-hour-ChickenCam to begin. Every time a new egg gets laid, your viewers can alert you and May, Beau!
Haha, want more CONTENT, or are you content?
@@carlbennett2417 Definitely content with more content.
Awesome work Beau.

Bury two rows of bessa blocks just incase

Cleaner than a backpackers in the Cross or St Kilda and more specious than a bunk bed in an backpacker apartment in Sydney.
Looks great! As others have said though, I would be quite worried about foxes. Not sure how much of an issue they are where you live. Also, the chickens will probably tear up the ground pretty fast.

I know I should start working, but this qualifies as being productive, so shut up! :))))))))))) Great seeing a new project from you.
As inspirational as ever. The mood you manage to set in your videos is astonishing

New subscriber! You and your family feel so beautifully authentic and the video is all around enjoyable
Looking good Beau! Best wishes to your chickens :)
such sweet moments, thank you for sharing.
“you can’t make tin longer “ 😂 no truer words have ever been spoken!
SO MUCH BEAU THIS WEEK! 2 episodes of Long way for a beer and now this! (loving it)
Thanks Beau, helps a lot!
Nice repurposing of materials. Farms fresh eggs, over easy, blackberry jam on toast! Yumm.
Zero dollar projects are the best projects! we once build a shelter for our geese for zero dollars but unlike yours also with zero life lessons 😂. Good onya Beau!
What a fantastic project! Nicely done, sir! Your projects often remind me of the resilience and versatility of Alaskan Bush people.
