My neighbor figures his eggs are about $10 Each so far, due to costs to build, add power (Canadian winters) and feed. But he's having a blast with them and those initial costs will amortize .
I love that you actually talk in this video. I keep looking for videos of people's chicken coops but it's all just time lapse and no one talking. Your coop is so cute! The toys idea is great, I definitely am going to do that.
I did a ton of research and coop stalking haha....I put all those ideas together to build this one. It's been great, I'm not sure we would change anything either after almost 1.5 years
You might want to sell your plans. Also, a baby monitor in the hen house, plugged up to power, with the listening part in your bedroom is very soothing and alerts if a predator gets in there, so you can go out and let the air out of that fox or coon.
I grew up with a flock of almost 50 birds, we used to sell our eggs to local restaurants and bakeries. They more than paid for themselves and it was a lot of fun herding them around the yard / green belt we had. I think every family should have a few birds if they have the space, it's a fun family experience and home grown eggs are infinitely better than store bought
That’s a myth😂even before 2023. But you are right, for sure not a myth after 2023!!!🤣🤦🏽♂️Honestly even if you are paying 0.10¢ extra per dozen to keep chickens and have your own eggs, I’d rather do that than eat store bought eggs that have steroids and are bleached…
A coop/run you can walk in is the best! Much more enjoyable and easier to manage. Also the chickens will get more used to your presence. Great job. My problem would be that the chickens would keep multiplying!
Great coop. The "water in the nest boxes" is a common issue. By putting a strip of vinyl on the wall above the lid and coming down over the lid the water will run off before entering the nest at all.
Great!!! Wonderfull backyard Coop to keep the family united,healthy & lively. People always asked " Why the chicken cross the road...?" Answer;- a) the owner does't have a comfortable Coop & enough food & water. b) Chase after a frog. c)Been chase by a puppy. d)The roaster is waiting on the other side e) Just want to reach the other side. My answer..is (e)...Tqvvm.
I love that! Most of the backyard coops have such a tiny chicken run, but that one is the perfect size, for a decent amount of chickens, especially if you have the space to move it into different areas of your yard, if you're in a high predator area, and can't let them free roam too often.
Perfect little coop for suburban chicken raising. So glad to see that one can also have a nice lawn. Most videos show just devastation wherever the chickens have been. I’m going to steal your coop ideas as I have space for maybe 4 and a grandson who will be very happy.
Great job with your coop! I like that you incorporated “toys” to keep your birds engaged. I saw a coop where the owner made a rustic little swing out of ropes and a thick tree branch. It looked super cute and his birds apparently love sitting on it.
What a lovely well thought out coop!!! And yes the chickens love human company & actually make wonderfull pets. These chickens have fallen with their bums in the butter for sure!! You've really thought of everything. Blessings from South Africa 🇿🇦
You've come up with some fantastic ideas with your DIY chook coop. Pre-made chicken coops will come with a roost built into their design, and it should be made with a sturdy and solid timber that is rounded off. It is important that the timber is rounded off as this makes it easier for them to grip, and it should also ideally by 50mm as anything much smaller or larger can cause sore feet in your hens and lead to furthered ailments. As the point of the perch is to allow your poultry pals to roost up nice and high where they feel safe and secure, it should be placed at least 45cm from the ground. Other than the deep-bed method you went with, you can place dropping boards (just a shallow bin) below the chickens roost, to collect their droppings for your compost, etc.
Just stopping by to say thank you for sharing this. It inspired me to build mine very similarly. Not much experience here, so the guidance you gave in this video was enough to get me started.
I am an absolute neat freak! I was so nervous that the chickens would destroy my beautiful backyard! But I see you still have your grass and it looks great! Thank you for showing us how you can be clean with chickens! I guess I have to get busy building a coop now!
@@SunshineCountryChickens Yes I have chickens now as of 3 months ago. I have Rhode Island Reds and Silver Laced Wyandots. The first two places I moved the coop to, they ate my grass up. I placed sod in those areas to replace the grass. I now let them out early in the morning. This prevents the balding of my grass, but they poop all over the place. In two months I will get a large chicken run to contain them to one large area. They love roaming free in my back yard! I still have about 4 weeks to go before they start laying eggs. They get so big so fast!
I love your coop. I have been doing youtube research lol, as I would love to have some chickens. The one thing I learned that you may not have seen is that chickens like round roosts as their feet naturally curve. so possibly tree branches may be comfier for them.
Thanks for the tour, I enjoyed learning the tips and agree with the benefits of the backyard coop. Chicken dust bathing is definitely something I didn't realize but enjoyable to watch, kind of like children playing in a sandbox.
You guys seem like the old school family. A family how it was designed from the start to be. Lately ive watched some videos on betrayals and how families fall apart for the stupidiest reasons and just cant but wish you guys heavenly happiness, uncoditional love, unearthy faithfulness and just over all blessings. Makes me happy to see a traditional family just living life in harmony.
Very nice work and craftmanship here. I remember the 152 chickens (we started with ten and that number grew within about a year) my family had, whilst I was growing up in rural eastern Washington State (Whitman County's little farming towns like Rosalia, St. John's, Endicott, Paluse, and Albion, to name a few). Those days, they were hard times because, I was one of seven children in a single parent household and that was very poor, but it was one of the best learning experiences that helped me become the man I am today. I wanted to thank you for allowing me to share a little tidbit of my history with you and yours. PLEASE 🙏, PLEASE 🙏, PLEASE 🙏, keep up the good work of educating your little ones by showing them a healthier way to live and eat. BTW, It wouldn't hurt to teach them how to build and/repair the things (like the the chicken coop, other things in and around the home) and as they approach their mid-teens (dare I say it) maybe even help them by showing them a few things about how to handle a various problems they may encounter with the automobiles of the past, present, and hopefully future. But I'm gonna let you get back to being a dad now and thanks again for the moment of your time.
Thank you for sharing! It sounds like you had quite the life. I was raised just as you suggested. My dad taught me how to change the oil in my car and other car maintenance things. I helped him replace the shingles on the roof and build a shed, among many other things. Jason does a pretty good job having our oldest involved with a lot of his projects. These chickens have been a good way to teach our girls responsibility and take care of all creatures 😊
Hello there @katets. It's actually rather humourous that your husband's name is also Jason. I'm sure y'all already got at least a little chuckle from that. That said, you might have also figured out from the past sentence that I have also spent a number of years in the southern area of the country. Particularly the states of Virginia, West Virginia, South Carolina Georgia and Texas are just a few places that I have been. Each and every state has definitely been a learning experience for me especially Montana, Utah, Colorado and Wyoming. All are beautiful in their own way. Learning new things and places helped me a great deal with learning as I was told as a young teen that I have a learning disability and doing the many things I have been shown throughput the years is how I was able to figure out the best way of solving the problems I have encountered. My father taught me to hunt at the age of nine and the skills I gained from that I used when I was in basic training and Advanced Individual Training in the Army. My using these skills also had an apparently profound effect on my drill instructors. So much so that they all said shortly after I started my training that they were going to have to charge their methods of training because they were having such a difficult time with trying to catch me off guard. Although, when I think back on it, it turned out to be a really good thing in 5ge long run. Sorry for all the rambling. But it's food for thought.
I have seen many coop videos at this point, and this one is absolutely simple, straightforward, and well thought out. Excellent base to start, thank you, good work.
I like it! I would use some ideas but being in the country I wouldn't need it to be so perfect along the lines of worrying about dirt. Great ideas. You keep it sooo clean.
Hi There ! Very Nice Your Chicken Coop. However, Based on a Little Resaerch, I’d Like To Suggest an Upgrade For It Regarding Perches, As Follow : Construction of ideal perches for the comfort, safety and health of chickens: 1- Maximum height of 120 cm (47.244 inches); 2- Ideal angle of the perch is 45º, because that way, one bird does not defecate on top of the other; 3- The First Perch Must Be 40 cm (15,748 inches) from the Ground; 4- Minimum Space of 20 cm (7.874 inches) for Each Bird on the Perch; 5- The perches must be round, with a diameter of 3.5 cm (1.377 inches), not smooth (like bamboo) and without bark or cracks to avoid the proliferation of parasites; 6- The bedding around the perches must be at least 3 to 4 cm (1,181 to 1,578 inches) to absorb impacts and protect inflamation in the birds' feet and vents . That’s It ! These Tips Are From a Zootechnist That I Just Saw. Best Regards ! Ed São Paulo, SP
Thanks for sharing your own hard work, to enlighten us. I just payed 6 bucks for a dozen eggs at Walmart. That is .50 cents an egg. I have recently seen 9mm cheaper per rnd. by a large margin.
Grateful to have you explain how to keep your coop, clean, nice and functional while at the same time protective and wonderful ideas to see how you feed/water your chickens. Much appreciated.!! 👊🏼
I liked your approach to the arrangement of the chicken coop. It is noticeable how well you and your hens are doing, as well as a lot of approving comments from the audience about this design of the chicken coop.
Thank you for sharing... Awesome video. I just adopted two chickens. They were living in poor condtions. I figured i can give them a much better home. Thanks again.
we have 7 chickens 3 Isa Browns 2 silkies 1 Polish Crested and 1 Turkin we bought the coop that came with a 3 ft run so we built on a 8x9x6 ft high run then we built a small feed shed connected to the backside of the big run, we have a small backyard, we have a 9x6 raised garden bed for veggies, and 2 75gal. rain barrels we love our chickens and with the price of eggs we get sometimes 8 eggs a day so we have a lot and we have enough for family, and our eggs are a lot better for you than store eggs and they are better for you
By far the best coop in the world .....small, has a run and is adjacent to a lawn .............and your engineering is super cool 😎 in coop gate or water or feed and above all the shade curtain ,it's so simple yet engineering Marvel ...........I am a techy guy myself but I am amzed at the simple technique you have deployed .......really sir I will copy your coop if I have your permission .........actually all companies should have your design only ..........and mam she is so cute
I'm all about being self sufficient and the less I have to rely on other people the better. We are always trying to be better prepared for emergencies.
Exactly what I need, when can you come? I have a smaller coop with a run, but I can't walk in it! I would love to build the coop higher and make the run where I can walk in it! Your water and feed things are great too! Chickens are fun, but definitely are work!
Door on front of nest boxes works a bit better in our experience. We then flashed behind the siding and on top of the siding on top of the nesting boxes. That way no water could make its way in. My wife is also very very vertically challenged, so the front opening door made it easier for her to get to the eggs
You got a dream coop my mate!!! Plenty large, plenty room…. I took some ideas for myself!!! HEY THO - PRO TIP for anyone designing a coop at home…. LOOK UP PALLET CHICKEN COOP build one for free out of old pallets!! :)
I absolutely love your coop! I’ve had chickens in the past. I’m feeling peckish again! I had Buff Orpingtons. They are a beautiful bird. Your chickens are happy and healthy. Great job all around.
Great video, I have been surfing similar videos on RUclips & now my search is over. I’m building a carbon copy in my backyard & plan on having 6 or 7 chickens in there, time to enjoy some fresh & tasty eggs for a change. Thanks for sharing 👍
Nice coop. We are greeting acoop this week! Super exciting. Have been a Lil bit worried that they're super gross and dirty.. You're set up is lovely and managable😊
They're not using the top roost because it's hard to get to. they prefer to almost climb something like a ladder or steps rather than flying up to it. The cross roosts can be spaced about 10 0r 12 inches apart, vertically and horizontal. it helps them see the rungs at night if they fall off.
Thanks for the tips! We are actually considering changing the roosts there. Doing something like a ladder leaning against the wall that is removable for clean up
Gotta say man you guys did a good job with a chicken co-op I like it DIY you're gonna do a great job thanks for the video appreciate it give me some great ideas good luck
Nice coop! I'm building a new one and love to see what others do. I used construction sand (aka river sand-not play sand) inside the coop and in the run. It would dry the poop quick so it never stunk. Then I could scoop out poop kitty litter style and never had to replace the sand. It also helps keep their nails filed down and their feet exfoliated. And since chickens are more sensitive to heat than cold, in the summer (110+), I'd wet down a corner and they loved to lay there to cool off. In the winter, the cold sand never bothered them and they had roosting spots to get out of it if they needed it but never did. Then I like to use a shredder and run junk mail through it for nesting material. Never run out of that. 🤣
Great video! I’ve been contemplating building a coop for our backyard but the more I looked into having chickens the more overwhelming it seemed. This really simplified it all, thank you!
Video very informative love some of the modifications you’ve implemented on your coop. I am wondering why you made it 5 feet high instead of about 6 foot so you could walk around inside without stooping over. I do know of most of the set up you have in the coop the one thing I would change is the roosting bars. I would cut down the edges all the way around giving them a more octagon shape to rest upon instead of a rectangular shape it would be more comfortable for them a little bit more closer to a tree branch. One tip I have seen some people do, Is to wrap the roosting bars with Jute rope or hemp rope. This is supposed to be much better for their fees and can help if they have any kind of injury as air passes around their feet also it makes the roosting bar more comfortable. Hope you don’t mind the suggestions just some things I’ve seen the other people do on RUclips.
Thanks for the tips, I have since updated the roosting bars to standout a bit more from the wall and they use them much more. I will think about how to change the shape of them. As for the height, I didn't want the coop / run going over the fence to bother the neighbors view. We rarely go into the run/coop so it's not a big deal.
@@Jasonoid Makes sense about the height. Just just many times as a construction worker I have to crawl into spaces and I'm always asking myself why didn't they make it bigger for easier access. Thanks for explaining make sense about the fence.
Esse foi o melhor video que encontrei acerca de galinheiro! Obrigada pela excelente inspiração! Vou colocar tela no piso abaixo dos poleiros para que as fezes caiam no minhocario que ficará logo abaixo.
Great ideas thank you so much for sharing I am in the process of building my chicken coop .I love your ideas keep up the good work thanks again for showing us your talents
Nice video, Just a tip around the laying area where you have put the bottle with you small DIY gutter, you can add 25mm pvc pipe at the bottom of the bottle and make it drain out side the coup, you won't need to keep draing the bottle yourself again.
Of all of the plans and utube examples I've seen, this is the most well done coop and run I've seen. You really thought it out in advance. Mine isn't working for me and I have not built things like this before. I hope to take some tips from this and build something better than what I have which is really not working this winter to keep the run dry. Thanks for sharing it. Well done.
Nice coop, very well desing. Very clean, But i see is very close to the neigborns, they do not make complains about your chickens, to much noise or bad smells ?
Hi, this is Jason's wife. Luckily we have a good relationship with our neighbors. None of them complain. We were concerned about the noise since that is harder to control than the smell. So far they have said that they love hearing them.
Excellent job. I'll take on your ideas. I'm planning o convert one Chicken tractor, to chicken coop. It's attached to the chicken run. Here on Puerto Rico. Blessings to all your family. Regards.
Check out our new CHICKEN MERCH for sale HERE: www.jasonoid.shop/
My neighbor figures his eggs are about $10 Each so far, due to costs to build, add power (Canadian winters) and feed. But he's having a blast with them and those initial costs will amortize .
The best backyard coop I have ever seen
I love that you actually talk in this video. I keep looking for videos of people's chicken coops but it's all just time lapse and no one talking. Your coop is so cute! The toys idea is great, I definitely am going to do that.
This is my favorite coop by far and I’ve looked at hundreds. I love everything about it including the waterers and feeders plus the nesting boxes.
I did a ton of research and coop stalking haha....I put all those ideas together to build this one. It's been great, I'm not sure we would change anything either after almost 1.5 years
I agree very nice coop and run...good job guys!
Agreed, everything is planned out and has simplicity matched by genius
Me too
Very nice, thanks for sharing this so nice 💡
You might want to sell your plans. Also, a baby monitor in the hen house, plugged up to power, with the listening part in your bedroom is very soothing and alerts if a predator gets in there, so you can go out and let the air out of that fox or coon.
This is hands down the best chicken coop setup I’ve seen! One year later and it still looks fantastic-such great advice for anyone just starting out
Still going great too! Now we have 9 chickens total and they love it!
“They don’t save you money when it comes to eggs” … 2023: “hold my beer”
U ain’t kidding lol
87 likes and one reply? Let me change that.

This is the best chicken coop , the vinyl help their poop won’t damage the wood , great idea , I love your channel ,
Great coop. The "water in the nest boxes" is a common issue. By putting a strip of vinyl on the wall above the lid and coming down over the lid the water will run off before entering the nest at all.
Every house needs a gutter system, even the chicken house!
That's the way family is to be caring and sharing.
I have watched an extreme amount of chicken coop videos and this set up is a dream!! Great job!
LOVED the video especially you explaining everything you did...you gave your reasons "why" and the "solutions".
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great!!! Wonderfull backyard Coop to keep the family united,healthy & lively.
People always asked " Why the chicken
cross the road...?" Answer;-
a) the owner does't have a comfortable
Coop & enough food & water.
b) Chase after a frog.
c)Been chase by a puppy.
d)The roaster is waiting on the other side
e) Just want to reach the other side.
My answer..is (e)...Tqvvm.
I have been watching chicken videos for some time and scoping out coops. Yours is my favorite! This is great, clean, beautiful, simple. LOVE IT!
Beautiful backyard setup!
Cool Coop, I like the PVC feeder and water can ideas! friends have chickens I'm sending them this video. 🐔

Hi There !
Very Nice Your Chicken Coop.
However, Based on a Little Resaerch, I’d Like To Suggest an Upgrade For It Regarding Perches, As Follow :
Construction of ideal perches for the comfort, safety and health of chickens:
1- Maximum height of 120 cm (47.244 inches);
2- Ideal angle of the perch is 45º, because that way, one bird does not defecate on top of the other;
3- The First Perch Must Be 40 cm (15,748 inches) from the Ground;
4- Minimum Space of 20 cm (7.874 inches) for Each Bird on the Perch;
5- The perches must be round, with a diameter of 3.5 cm (1.377 inches), not smooth (like bamboo) and without bark or cracks to avoid the proliferation of parasites;
6- The bedding around the perches must be at least 3 to 4 cm (1,181 to 1,578 inches) to absorb impacts and protect inflamation in the birds' feet and vents .
That’s It !

we have 7 chickens 3 Isa Browns 2 silkies 1 Polish Crested and 1 Turkin we bought the coop that came with a 3 ft run so we built on a 8x9x6 ft high run then we built a small feed shed connected to the backside of the big run, we have a small backyard, we have a 9x6 raised garden bed for veggies, and 2 75gal. rain barrels we love our chickens and with the price of eggs we get sometimes 8 eggs a day so we have a lot and we have enough for family, and our eggs are a lot better for you than store eggs and they are better for you
By far the best coop in the world .....small, has a run and is adjacent to a lawn .............and your engineering is super cool 😎 in coop gate or water or feed and above all the shade curtain ,it's so simple yet engineering Marvel ...........I am a techy guy myself but I am amzed at the simple technique you have deployed .......really sir I will copy your coop if I have your permission .........actually all companies should have your design only ..........and mam she is so cute
If you like tech, you may also enjoy my other channel videos about solar power and new battery tech coming out.
I was wondering if you were into preparedness.... Now I know. It's a good thing to do as a man for your family.
I'm all about being self sufficient and the less I have to rely on other people the better. We are always trying to be better prepared for emergencies.
Exactly what I need, when can you come? I have a smaller coop with a run, but I can't walk in it! I would love to build the coop higher and make the run where I can walk in it! Your water and feed things are great too! Chickens are fun, but definitely are work!
They may not save you money but your getting better eggs and you know where they are coming from and what they are eating
Единственное чтобы я изменила это нипельные поилки-от них много воды на полу…Я рекомендую чашечные поилки- вода не капает на пол и в курятнике сухо!
Door on front of nest boxes works a bit better in our experience. We then flashed behind the siding and on top of the siding on top of the nesting boxes. That way no water could make its way in. My wife is also very very vertically challenged, so the front opening door made it easier for her to get to the eggs
Good idea!
By the way, I should have also mentioned, you have a lovely family. All the best to you and yours.
You have your chicken coop working real great! Thanks for the tips & tricks. I especially like the PVC feeders. I enjoyed your video. Good job!!
You got a dream coop my mate!!! Plenty large, plenty room…. I took some ideas for myself!!! HEY THO - PRO TIP for anyone designing a coop at home…. LOOK UP PALLET CHICKEN COOP build one for free out of old pallets!! :)
Good job and beautiful family.
I absolutely love your coop! I’ve had chickens in the past. I’m feeling peckish again! I had Buff Orpingtons. They are a beautiful bird. Your chickens are happy and healthy. Great job all around.
Great video, I have been surfing similar videos on RUclips & now my search is over. I’m building a carbon copy in my backyard & plan on having 6 or 7 chickens in there, time to enjoy some fresh & tasty eggs for a change. Thanks for sharing 👍
Ya'll have done an awesome job building your coop and the waterers and feeders, excellent ideas! God bless y'all and stay safe!👍
Ey, this is a good example of working smarter. Its a good setup.
Nice coop and explanations.GREAT video.
Definitely the most attractive one I ever seen.
Thank you!
Loved this video! You have a beautiful family! Thanks for sharing!
You are so kind
I like the plan..Looks like a plan will make. Thanks for all suggestions.
The plastic sheeting is corflue.
Awesome coop! It’s very similar of the one I want to create.
Thanks so much for a brilliant video. Subscribed! ❤
Nice coop. We are greeting acoop this week! Super exciting. Have been a Lil bit worried that they're super gross and dirty.. You're set up is lovely and managable😊
They aren't too bad! Just keep the coup and run dry and it won't stink or get bad.
simple, smart coop.. the best i've so far seen. great information too.. thank you from Kenya
I love your chicken pen and run. Your feeder to.
You can use like a ladder for your roost just a thought looks great though thankyou for all your input.
Thank you for the suggestion! We plan to change out the roost with a ladder with different heights.
They're not using the top roost because it's hard to get to. they prefer to almost climb something like a ladder or steps rather than flying up to it. The cross roosts can be spaced about 10 0r 12 inches apart, vertically and horizontal. it helps them see the rungs at night if they fall off.
Nice set-up really enjoyed your vid
Thanks for the tips! We are actually considering changing the roosts there. Doing something like a ladder leaning against the wall that is removable for clean up
Gotta say man you guys did a good job with a chicken co-op I like it DIY you're gonna do a great job thanks for the video appreciate it give me some great ideas good luck
Nice coop!
I'm building a new one and love to see what others do. I used construction sand (aka river sand-not play sand) inside the coop and in the run. It would dry the poop quick so it never stunk. Then I could scoop out poop kitty litter style and never had to replace the sand. It also helps keep their nails filed down and their feet exfoliated. And since chickens are more sensitive to heat than cold, in the summer (110+), I'd wet down a corner and they loved to lay there to cool off. In the winter, the cold sand never bothered them and they had roosting spots to get out of it if they needed it but never did.
Then I like to use a shredder and run junk mail through it for nesting material. Never run out of that. 🤣
Great video! I’ve been contemplating building a coop for our backyard but the more I looked into having chickens the more overwhelming it seemed. This really simplified it all, thank you!
Video very informative love some of the modifications you’ve implemented on your coop. I am wondering why you made it 5 feet high instead of about 6 foot so you could walk around inside without stooping over. I do know of most of the set up you have in the coop the one thing I would change is the roosting bars. I would cut down the edges all the way around giving them a more octagon shape to rest upon instead of a rectangular shape it would be more comfortable for them a little bit more closer to a tree branch. One tip I have seen some people do, Is to wrap the roosting bars with Jute rope or hemp rope. This is supposed to be much better for their fees and can help if they have any kind of injury as air passes around their feet also it makes the roosting bar more comfortable. Hope you don’t mind the suggestions just some things I’ve seen the other people do on RUclips.
Thanks for the tips, I have since updated the roosting bars to standout a bit more from the wall and they use them much more. I will think about how to change the shape of them. As for the height, I didn't want the coop / run going over the fence to bother the neighbors view. We rarely go into the run/coop so it's not a big deal.
@@Jasonoid Makes sense about the height. Just just many times as a construction worker I have to crawl into spaces and I'm always asking myself why didn't they make it bigger for easier access. Thanks for explaining make sense about the fence.
Simple solutions are the best solutions.
This is just an AWESOME COOP. Great work. I've go to send to my brother in law.
Thanks!!
Great ideas and it's really enjoy your design of chicken coop
Esse foi o melhor video que encontrei acerca de galinheiro! Obrigada pela excelente inspiração! Vou colocar tela no piso abaixo dos poleiros para que as fezes caiam no minhocario que ficará logo abaixo.
Thanks for sharing. I ❤your feeding system , I will use your example to up grade.
Great ideas thank you so much for sharing I am in the process of building my chicken coop .I love your ideas keep up the good work thanks again for showing us your talents
Fun video and nice to see your lovely family. Would like to see more of your emergency preparedness ideas.
Nice video. Very peaceful. I made several notes, including shade cloth, great idea!
Nice video, Just a tip around the laying area where you have put the bottle with you small DIY gutter, you can add 25mm pvc pipe at the bottom of the bottle and make it drain out side the coup, you won't need to keep draing the bottle yourself again.
Could you send measurements? This is the best coop/run I’ve seen and I would love to build my own.
I don't have plans for this coup... I wish I did since I didn't plan for this video to get so many views.
Of all of the plans and utube examples I've seen, this is the most well done coop and run I've seen. You really thought it out in advance. Mine isn't working for me and I have not built things like this before. I hope to take some tips from this and build something better than what I have which is really not working this winter to keep the run dry. Thanks for sharing it. Well done.
Good afternoon! Do you have build plans by chance? You guys did a great job and this is the best coop I have seen by far
Thanks! Unfortunately I don't have any plans... I didn't know the video would even get past 10k views haha wish I had them now!
Very nice job on the video and great coop and run. Your family looks very happy and the chickens look well loved
Wow! Whatva beautiful coop! I love it! I live how clean it is.. is thatbjust dirt on the ground inside the run?
Thank you! Yes, it's just dirt.
Nice coop, very well desing. Very clean, But i see is very close to the neigborns, they do not make complains about your chickens, to much noise or bad smells ?
Hi, this is Jason's wife. Luckily we have a good relationship with our neighbors. None of them complain. We were concerned about the noise since that is harder to control than the smell. So far they have said that they love hearing them.
Congratulations
Excellent job. I'll take on your ideas. I'm planning o convert one Chicken tractor, to chicken coop. It's attached to the chicken run. Here on Puerto Rico. Blessings to all your family. Regards.
Friend, thank you so much for sharing! you guys are incredible. wish your family health and well, always!
