Why do chicken coops have 2 doors? Cause if they had 4 doors they'd be a chicken sedan.🤣😂

@Alex Pelon coop sounds like coupe, a type of car with only 2 doors. Sedan are cars with 4 doors.

Just built this exact coop from the video. Very helpful and if you’re a little handy it’s easy. For anyone wondering it cost me roughly $275. I built just the coop part though I already had the cage part

coopodoit helped me a lot building my coop.

I wish my late Grandfather would have seen this, wow, would he be impressed. He had chicken coops all during his childhood and some later in his life. He spoke of them often! Great job guys!

I've been a builder for many years and have seen quite a fair bit of sheds. The plans in ryan's package kzread.infoUgkxB7IXYxLzb_Ichhe45zM3Im5xfEiSp9vB have some of the nicest looking sheds i've seen in a while.

Too often these days, in project like this, the master worker starts right in without even giving a drawing or plan of the project. He's done it many times before, I'm sure. However, it helps so much to visualize the usage of pieces if we have an initial graphic idea of the whole thing. I love watching experts work, though, this was educational.

Great design. Love to see Kevin doing a great job helping out.

I used a 10x10x6’ high dog kennel with a chicken wire roof worked perfect so simple also added a sheet of plywwod for rain protection just used pipes across top for support

I love this coop , it looks easy the way it was made , and the chickens have plenty of resting boxes when cold and tired , I certainly wouldn't have it any other way ,thank you for sharing ❤

Thanks for making it how you were doing and for having a list of materials in the info area 😉😊

Would have been nice if there had been more video of the finished coop.

Just once I wanted to hear Tommy yell at Kevin when he was trying to drive screws. I picture it sounding like this: "Kevn, dont chowdah up dat drill bit!"

Love the coop just perfect for a small yard.

Too many nesting boxes for that size of coop. That’s a great design though; I loved this show as a kid!

When I grow up I want to be a carpenter just like Tommy!

Her house and yard look awesome.

I just love it. good job guys.

One nesting box would have been plenty. Two at the most. A coop that size will only house 3 or 4 hens.

A nice build. My grandfather made one similar, but he dug down 3 foot and made layers of broken glass and soil then the first foot of wire frame. You can let the chooks out during the day so they can run around but make sure to lock them up at night.

Got to love this videos

THAT SAW IS COOL SOMTHIN ELSE TO LOOK OUT FOR GREAT TOM

Built the way a contractor would efficient and simple, need more venting and fewer nesting boxes, that said excellent. Also might have made the chicken door open from outside.

Yup. More venting less chicken nests.... And needs to be WAAAAAAAAYYYY BIGGER. 😉

Nicely done boys, I have only one recommendation to anyone doing it this way. Raise the chicken door so that it’s 5-6” above the floor line. The deep bedding inside won’t be constantly sluffing out of the opening. 😎

Beautiful

these guys work well together.

I will be modifying this for a full 4x8 sized coop. Just found this video after I built the chicken run for an old coop that I’ll be replacing. Thanks for the ideas!!!

This is a nice set up

you make it so easy, i was lost when you said 6 chickens lol

Not enough video for a beginner to build this coop. But a great idea. Thanks.

Luv it

Great guys

Super Nice!

Simple practical construction .

great to see this

Tell me you never had chickens, without telling me you never had chickens. I seriously love This Old House. This is a quality built coop. Just not the best for chickens. If you are watching this video please take the following into consideration. Chicken wire is nothing to ground based predators. Coons and or possums will sinmply rip their way through it and kill your birds. Ventilation is key. Chickens run about 105 body temp. They lose water through breathing. If cooped up without ventilation the air becomes heavy with moisture which can cause them to get way to cold. Finally, and the chicken people will know, you only need one or two nesting boxes. Give them 10 and they will fight over one. I know it's 8 years later, just a nice gentle warning to anyone considering this exact build. It's cool, just add heavy duty hardware cloth to the run, put in some vents and only do like 2 nesting boxes.

Thanks for showing how to build it, most videos on here don't...:-)

Lovely, though you could take it a few steps further. Coops have a tendency to have all the temperature variation of an 18th century barn, which can mean they're uncomfortably hot during the summer and cold during the winter. This can be dealt with by insulating the coop's walls and ceiling, adding weather stripping to openings, and thinking about placement in order to get winter sun but summer shade. I figure the chickens are giving me fresh, ethical eggs to enjoy every morning, so they deserve a few creature comforts.

I agree with ventilation Windows but don't think chickens need their coop insulated since they kind of have there own insulation feathers (down) formed every winter. People don't give as much credit towards chickens hardiness as should be.

You might be over EGGaggerating a bit. I live in South Texas and I have made many chicken coops for personal use and for others. As for the heat all you need is vents up top. As to the cold it does get very cold here due to the sea breeze. Gets below freezing at times. Have not gotten a single report of the chickens dying or even getting stressed. In fact our chickens lay year round. If you know chickens at all you know that they will not lay eggs if it gets too hot or too cold. Why? Because they can't regulate the temperature of the eggs so they don't bother. Sooo.

Definitely shouldn't insulate a coop. You need ventilation in a coop especially in winter.

My chicken are just running around my garden during the day and sleep in my living room during the night lmao, they sleep on the window seat so I built them a little ramp and put straw so that it’s comfy. They are only 3 hens and one rooster but they are so cute cuddling in my living room whilst I watch tv

Nice job!

Chicken wire is only good for keeping the chickens in. Galvanized hardware cloth is a better solution for keeping predators out. There are different sizes, 1/2 to 1/4 inch are good. Digging the wire in the ground is a good idea. My friend lost 95% of his flock when raccoons tore through his chicken wire.

you are very great man ,. you really making adults and children happy . thank you very much .

Good job

Love it, my only worry would be that the chicken wire is not strong enough to keep predators out..I think I'll use 19ga Galvanized Hardware Cloth, it is much stronger. I would also dig down and bury some of the 19ga Galvanized Hardware Cloth to stop predators from digging under the fence in the run area, and I would fence in under the coop so that they have some shelter from sun and rain. But the video and the coop design are great.

A chicken should have atleast 2 sq ft inside the coop and 4 sq ft outside the coop. For a 4x4 chicken coop you could only house at most 8 chickens. 1 nest box for every 3-5 chickens is recommended. I believe you over did it a little with 6 nesting boxes and maybe used up a little bit too much space. You also could have made some ventilation Windows for the summer heat.

Hope it doesn’t leak.. love it

nice idea.

That roof ought to have a overhang. T11 will delaminate over time with water running down sides. Also 6 hens don't each need a box. 2 or maybe 3 is good for 6 girls. And really 3 inch diameter pole allows for ideal roost. If all they have is those boxes to roost on they will get broody. Hth

@scottslotterbeck3796

Жыл бұрын

I hate T111

I built a 4hx4wx8L chicken coop from scraps I was given. We did nest boxes on outside of coop with doors and roof that open. Then on front there is a 4x4 door that opens and a 1x2 door for chickens to come in. On back another 4x4 door this makes it easy to clean out. It has 4x4 post for legs and the frame was built with 4x4 post. Lol it was built heavy.

i like it. overall a nice coop wish it was a little wider.

very nice

看你们的制作过程是一种享受，good,Thank you~~

Thank you. Now I can comment

I love this video! Also, a good staple gun is like $20

For all the criticism being heaped against this video, it's not a bad build. I do agree that they should have added some ventilation and that six nesting boxes is about five too many, but the concept is sound. Those will be some spoiled chickens for sure!

A few thoughts for people who are thinking about recreating this. "Chicken wire" is not fox or raccoon proof. They can bite right through it. You need at least 2mm thick aviary mesh / welded mesh to be predator proof. Secondly chickens need a place to roost - they sleep standing on a roost which is essentially a bar. This house has no bed! Also this is far too many nesting boxes. Chickens like to share nesting boxes so two or 3 would be fine. Lastly, that coop is too small for six chickens. Especially with the additional nesting boxes.

Yup I learned the hard way about that chicken wire. Fox or possum ripped it and had a all you can eat buffet of young chicks I had. I then replaced it with hard wire and added shock wire to the outside of the coop. Later that night I could hear the zapping and squealing of whatever it was learning a lesson. So guess you could say we both learned our lessons. I also have 8 chickens with 3 laying boxes and they only use 2.

I made a door on chicken coop with automatic control to open or close by timer and sunset sensor.

Im building one this weekend

I'd put in a wire floor bc the chickens need more ventilation. they will develop respitory infections with out proper ventalation. and I wouldn't use chicken wire on the sides bc it's to thin and Predators push right through it. other then that its a great design.

Chicken wire is designed to keep chickens in - not predators out. Use hardware cloth for better security, unless you live in a predator-free area.

Would love to see a bear proof one. Thinking cider block.

A nice chicken coop. And a workshop full of tools to make it
