At the time I took this, there were three roosters. The white one (a hybrid breed) turned nasty and attacked my niece. My sister took care of the problem and he was turned into soup. Now there are two roosters and they have worked out some sort of peace pact and rarely have any confrontation. Both are good-tempered, so that helps.
When I took the video, that was the case. As more started laying and they got older, they really spread out. Yesterday when I opened the lid, five hens were in five different boxes. Most days we find eggs in 5-7 boxes.
Didn’t mind at all! Made it funny and interesting. Thanks!
Cool video and cute kids
How many roosters do you have? Thought I saw 3 in the vid? Don’t they fight?
looks great would u get lots of chicks because u have the rooster with the girls??
Hi, Can you tell me what the dimensions are for this coop? Length, width, and height?
My uncle raised chickens when I was a kid. I can almost smell it now.
That is great for the kids.They must like the end boxes for the privacy and feel safer, then with chickens on both sides of them.
hi iam interested what dimension is you chicken coup thankyou for the answer I am planning to build one .
do you have any suggestions on how to encurage the hens to lay?
Cute. Have 6 hens. Will definitely look into this.
in your video you said they use two
How much does something like that cost?
very nice chicken coop and also chickns……..do your three roosters often fight or do they already know whos boss?
What are the dimensions?
1:40 uh-oh
there he is 
Checking out to see who’s in the hen house 
lol
That means that they need atleast 6 nesting boxes. They are doing Perfect
Your wrong, depend on your amount of chickens, u may need a lot. 3 -4 hens per nesting box is the reccomend number
Of the eight nesting boxes, we consistently have eggs in six and occasionally seven.
Ppl always think they need a lot of nests. Chickens always just use one or two.
What a great set-up — love the Amish chicken coops.
Please pardon the noisy roosters and kids. Comments welcome!
