Do you know how wide the wall panels are on each side? 4 feet x 6? Or 5x5 ? Seems to be a typos on tax website and it doesn’t give the length of the wallls only the width. Trying to determine overall sq foot of just the building not the run

I really enjoyed watching you guys working as a good team !!!!!

Just bought this coop today. This video is great and will be very helpful to me as I begin putting it together tomorrow. Thank you for this! Also, I lived in west Texas outside of Lubbock for 3 years and I don’t miss the dry high heat and wind at all lol, I just miss the people. I’m now in sunny and wet Florida. 41:12

Going to purchase this but the packaging was destroyed and there are loose parts. The bottom box was closed and everything in the top box is loose. Do you know what things were in the top box?

Do you think this coop could be moved once a day or once a week pretty easily?

How would you reccommended fastening the hardware cloth to the metal fence

@fromthehartfarms

2 ай бұрын

I would hope the cloth has grommets around edges & use those & ring clips to connect to top rail of side walls of run. If using as an awning attachment to exterior I would extend that over coop side by screwing in eye screws to attach grommets to. Hope that helps. On bottom (if attaching flat against walls) I would stretch to ground as tight as possible and secure to lowest section of welded wire on panels.

@@fromthehartfarms last question, this thing is 450 lbs. How did yall get it in the truck, much less move it to where it needs to be. Will a basic appliance dolly work with 3 men?

@fromthehartfarms

2 ай бұрын

Yes, it is a heavy load! I guess we cheated. We had it delivered & opened up the box to move individual pieces to a wagon and then used wagon load by load to transfer to set-up location.

How difficult do you think it would be to turn it into a tractor?

You'd have to stabilize the base and it'd be ungodly heavy to move. This thing is not a light weight coop!

It needs a lot of modification no matter where you live. Up north, I believe it would need deep litter, extra ventilation, the shade cloth & probably a wind break wall. Thanks for watching! Good luck with your Homestead.

I liked the way latch works. It's installed properly, but the alignment was off. Once we fixed the alignment on the wall it worked great. But I guess flipping it coulda worked to. I just liked it to latch on bottom the way it is. But I love the suggestion. Might be a great alternative solution for someone who isn't as OCD. Lol. Thanks for watching and commenting!

How are you liking this coop? Is it worth the money?

@fromthehartfarms

10 ай бұрын

I actually haven't finished modifying it yet. The birds I put in it died of heat overnight early last week. I would not recommend this coop for sunny areas with no shade & possibly not even in shade without serious changes made to it to increase ventilation & airflow. The flats we put up on the west side helped, but I didn't get the vent hole cut in time. I still plan on doing that and adding the solar fan. But I also feel like I need to add shade cloths/screens to block more of the sun. I feel so horrible about the 6 birds I lost. They were all around 14 weeks old. Such a shame. I cried for hours, and refuse to use the coop again until we have finished adding the fan & shade.

@@fromthehartfarms I am so sorry to hear about your loss! I actually was looking to upgrade my coop because I just lost one of my girls to heat stroke yesterday. She's one of my first chickens, so it's been really tough. I'm really glad I asked you about this. I was thinking it didn't look like it has much ventilation, so that was definitely a concern. Again, I am sorry for your loss. This has been a wicked summer.
