I don't know why my previous comment didn't post so I guess I will try to say it all over again. I'm about to make a 4x8 to house 3 chickens and I've had this mindset of building it to code, which is silly. You helped snap me out of that and cut my material list in 1/2. I'm a lil worried about the weight of snow but here in TN that's only a problem 3 days a year basically. Only thing I would recommend (at least for me) is using hardware cloth for protections because I know around here a racoon will snatch a chicken straight through chicken wire and those holes you have there are much bigger than that. Other than that you just saved me alot of time and money. Great vid, Thanks!

You need 1/2 inch mesh hardware cloth if you want to keep small birds and mice out so they don't eat your chicken food (and also so your chickens don't murder them and eat them). Also, for ease of cleaning, I'd make the door wide enough for a wheelbarrow to go through, and make the bottom part (very ingenious, btw) be like another door, with a hinge at the bottom, and latches on left and right at the top sides, so you can flip it down while cleaning out the coop, so you can drive the wheelbarrow in and out of there.

@thevaughnhomestead

I have started using 1 inch wire to help keep out larger critters such as opossums, I learned that the adults cant get in with the 2x4 inch wire I was using but the younger ones can, but we enjoy seeing the birds flying in eating what the chickens leave behind.... and since the cages aren't huge its pretty simple cleaning using a 5 gallon bucket and wheelbarrow..... but I do like the idea of the bottom of the door having the flip down option, may have to play with that idea thanks

I had a rooster and 4 hens in one of these coops full time and they had PLENTY of room to move around without being cramped… could probably do 7 or 8 chickens no problem in this particular size coop and they would still have enough room on the perch also to fit together….. hope this helps answer your question 😊

you can use wood siding and paint it, or just add tin all the way down, but really chickens do fine in cold temps as long as they are out of the direct wind flow, thats why I put the perch same level as the tin so that the wind blows under them during the cold season, can also add a tarp on the front during the cold season and remove during the warm seasons, I have a video on that also

Great thank you!!!

Quick question in the video the side panels you said 7’6” in the description it was 7’5” not sure if an inch makes a difference but I want to follow your plans exactly

I apologize for the confusion…. In the description I have 7.5ft (seven and a half feet) which is same as 7’6” (seven feet six inches)

@@terenceharvey359 No problem at all

Is there a part two to this video. Like with your roosting boxes added in. Ive never built anything before. I am a 50 year old woman in southeast Texas with Multiple Sclerosis and I think I want to give this a try.

I don't use nest boxes anymore, I use either 5 gallon buckets or milk crates, really anything that you can use to put bedding in will work for them to lay in
