How to Build a Chicken Coop the simple way

I might of have missed it, buy did you mention how many chickens is this size coop is good for?

Thanks for sharing 💜

Did you use the same screws to secure the tin as you did to build the frame ?

How many birds would fit in this set up?

Great tips! Thanks!

Would that roof be too hot for southern CA?

What would you advise about snakes or animals digging underneath to get inside? I am worried about that

That wouldn't work here in Montana 🐔☃

what do you do for the platform where they sit and lay? how many chickens will this accommodate? great video

Thank you for the tutorial and especially for the list of materials we need 👌🏼 that’s super ❤

This coop is not predator proof at all! Slaughter waiting to happen. Do you not have raccoons? Have you ever seen what happens to a chicken when a raccoon reaches its little hands in through the gaps in the wire and grabs it? Not a pretty sight. Without a “predator apron,” literally anything can dig its way in as well.

Do you not have issues with wildlife coming around? Foxes, rats, weasels, raccoons, fishers, snakes? Larger animals like coyotes and dogs i can see that coop being good for as well as aerial predators but its the smaller ones that will get in easily. I would have used quarter inch mesh all around and have a solid sleeping box that can be closed and locked at night for protection

Great job, well thought out. Thank you for posting.

How much was for all the material

Very helpful. I'm going to bookmark this video for when I finally get enough giddy-up to build a coup.

Hi I made a simple build like this for my run but my coop is a metal shed, tin I believe and it's like an oven in the summers here in North Texas. I'm going to try using shade cloth over the roof next year to test out.

The BEST video for explaining how to do this! Thank you so much!!!

That is really beautiful with a clean look! Love it!

Why used metal walls? It gonnabe super hot in the summer.

Only just met him but loving this guy ... he's giving to ya straight as possible. Please develop and refine that talent and keep us updated : )

I was going to build large chicken enclosure or enough chicken tractors for all my birds (needed 7 or 8). This is actually a preferable solution. THANK YOU! I'll be building these, but a bit bigger (6 x 8 x 6, so I don't have to cut so much wood). PERFECT! The big enclosure was too complex to construct (needed a real roof) and too expensive (needed blocks, footer, etc.) These are terrific. I'll start building tomorrow.

Would it be too hot on the inside because the coop is surrounded by metal roofing material? I haven't finished building mine yet.

Excellent video Thank you.

Oh heck yeah just in time Brother, my nephew is wanting chickens and we know nothing. Thank you so much for teaching us 😊❤

Hey! I love how simple and straightforward your video is! I was trying to figure out how I could make the roof slated since I live in maine so I get a lot of snow. Tips would be so helpful thank you!

I have a question how many chickens do you recommend I should have for this build?

Thank you so much brother I will be building this tomorrow I just got all my stuff today

Excellent presentation! Thanks for the lists!!

Thanks for the tips mate 👍

Very nice...good vid.

With a setup like this do the chickens live inside it all the time or do they run outside during the day? Im wanting to get some chickens but most videos ive seen are these super elaborate (expensive) coops. This setup would definitely work and my husband could easily build it. I just need to know if the chickens have enough room to stay in it all the time or if they need an additional area outside as well. Thank you for this video!

Chicken coops have 2 doors, but if they had 4 doors they would be chicken sedans.

What do you reckon this cost

He looks like me

Great video, and instructions. Where do the chickens nest?

Now is this a coop for 1 or 2 chickens?

Yooooo!!! Just built one yesterday! Amazing details, your list of materials spot on! Can’t thank you enough. We bought a farm and they had the chickens inside one of the horse stables. Well rats been having a field day! Not anymore. I love your other video showing a bunch of them side by side. Thanks again!

👏👏😘

I dont know why im here, but this video is well made

Great video, do you recommend putting the bottom frame on pavers, or do you find the pressure treated is good enough on its own?

This is the simplest and best way to explain a chicken coop build to a person who has never built a thing in her life!! I'm excited to get started on this!! I appreciate this so much and I'm glad no camera women were harmed in the making of this video! lol

I love this diy idea but I absolutely loved the Mockingbird singing nonstop in the background!

yo man you are a bad ass.I will be building one thank you ❤

Hey can you please help me I would like to asked you about how much money did it cost to make this chicken house

Thank you!!!! I have a big scrap pile of wood and wanted a video just like this!!! 🎉 subscribed!! Appreciate it.

😮 wondering why you didnt make 8' running walls instead of 7' so as not to have 4' of 12" cut off wasted wood?

My partner isn't handy and won't believe me when I come up with numbers. I'm hoping this video helped him understand that I'm not crazy.

That is awesome, but I would suggest using 1/2” hardwire mesh cloth so that critters can’t reach in.

how much was it for the wood? im sure still cheaper than buying prefabricated at this size.
