I built this coop. Nice for a few hens. Just hard to get in and clean.
manteb bosh,……
So very helpful! Greatly appreciated. Thank you Mr. Caden. If I can’t get
my husband to make this for me, I do believe I can do it all by myself!
I built the same coop using these instructions. Go check out my video!
There’s a handy phone app to remind you to put your chickens away at night.
See “Sunset Reminder” on Android Market or Google Play.
No
you should add a chalkboard inside, cause I think chickens do quantum
mechanics when we sleep…. they are weird animals ….
I could see the roost in the diagram at 3:56 but not how it was fixed or
how close to the rear wall it was. Could someone give me an approximation
please.
this is awesome! My husban dan dI have decided to add some chickens to our
growing family and this is an easy to follow instruction video! LOVE the
results too! As soon as I get a chance I will post a video of our finished
chicken coop for a visual for the rest of you. Thanks for having this
detailed description on youtube!
Whats an estimate of lumber/supply cost to build this coop?
I just built this coop, I only built the coop part as I have a large run
area fenced off already. My cost for lumber and hardware was about $50. I
worked on it after work and it took about 6 hours to build. The plans are
pretty good considering the price, however, they do leave out several
important details, how to install the nest box, (I modified there intention
as It didn’t seem stable enough for me) The size of the door (yes easy to
figure out but hey they are plans).
Hi Lineagejunkie A perch is not essential. The main thing for a chicken is
to be above ground, which the roost is. However, it is more natural for a
hen to sit on a perch and all this needs to be is a bit of an old branch
laid on the roost floor, or a rounded off piece of 2″x2″ which can be
attached either to the floor or to the walls. This can be placed upto a few
inches above the floor. Karl Caden

Hi, I just downloaded the plans for this coop but there is no supply list.

how many chickens can live in this coop?
@Michael Mcbratney I don’t have a reply option to your comment for some
reason. The entire build is captured. The links to the whole series are in
the description below the video. Just expand it and you’ll see all the
videos. In a few, I am learning and the camera is sideways (unfortunately)
Nice job.Did you video the whole build?
We’re getting about 4 yeggs a day!
cool video. encouraging. hope you get lots of eggs
Thanks!
Michelle, I like your probing questions, good job (both of you). His wife
is slowing him down is what she’s doing:)) I’m in the process of remodeling
our coop which has been in use for 17 yrs now. People have about 1 month
from getting day old chicks until their ready for the coop, if people get
into that kind of bind. Just an FYI, you might want to place a dish pan in
the hen boxes for ease of cleaning. Hopefully I’ll get my video up soon.
Thanks you guys! Oops, screen over the coop/roof
