What a beautifully done book kzread.infoUgkxo4aMFkUegBx-KHPIJlfwKPHu7kQXAR9N ! The text and the photographs are brilliant. It is thorough and genuinely informative. Joseph Truini got another winner! No one does it better! Love the Cape Cod Shed with the Blue door!
great job! my only suggestion to those who would try and build this coop is to have the chicken wire buried 4-6 inches in the ground all the way around the coop foundation or your feathery little friends will dig themselves out! Chickens are very determined to find a way out!

We have had these up for a few years now and have no trouble with them digging out. We also let them out during the day.

We have never had our chickens to dig out. We free range them during the day and they only go up at night.
Been watching videos like this for 2 yrs while I save for my homestead. Im not a city girl and the suburbs is to restrictive. Watching these videos confirms my decision. I know where I belong. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 😊

Been looking for a way to use some old tin to build a coop and this is a perfect way for me to recycle some of it. I can make a larger coop for way less money. Thanks for sharing this simple build for someone with no building skills like me. 63 year old female . I can do this. ✌
One of the things I love more than watching videos like this is getting out there and making my own. Thank you sir and compadrays
Excellent work mate, most people these days are making a hotel for chooks, this is effective and used materials already on hand....Good looking coop mate

nothing like a full 8 minutes of the same soothing, generic, country jingle you would hear in the background of any local furniture sales tv commercial from 1998. with a little random hammering blended over top. Exactly the instructional I was looking for. I understood every word. I'm kidding to an extent but..nice work with salvaging the metal roof and materials. Also, this coop looks like something you'd see in the rural countryside on Grand theft auto.
Susie don’t eat that box! 😂😂😂❤🐐🐕
Thanks for the inspection really helps
Wow... Thanks for sharing information... Love from India ❤️
We got are chicken coop that my parents had when the were young and rebuilt the floor and walls. We didn’t really have a budget but it came out good. We made a nice wooden run and then we took a metal dog pen and built that onto the front of the wooden run.

What was the volume of the coop
I have physical limitations. I don’t know how I would lift and carry these things and to affix a roof on top. Other than that this looks simple enough to do. Maybe I can use pallets instead and to not make mine so high where I will need a ladder or something. I really needed to see your way of doing this. I want to see more from you. Thank you for this video.

with chicken pens you should dig down a few inches in the ground were the tin is to help keep varmints out and chickens in

It was mostly scrap/reused material so the only new purchase was the 4x4 posts. With wood prices now I wouldn’t have any idea. If using recycled materials you could probably do it for under $200
