    It amazes me that anyone would say that is beautiful I think the coop
    itself was kind of ugly certainly not a prize winning coop just working
    with what we did have for a dry shelter for the ladies.

  2. Debra Carmona says:

    Yes, the size was sufficient for the purpose but beauty was not what I
    thought. Maybe the family working together is a beautiful thing but not the
    coop. It looked like an ugly box up in the corner of the garage.

  5. Debra Carmona says:

    Ha ha ha. Thanks for the laugh. Actually he is not so lazy. He has helped
    me do lots of family projects around the house. He re-modeled an entire
    bathroom all by himself for me. I was just teasing him in the video. Today
    he is a Marine and they love him because he knows how to work.

    Amazing, love the fact you used scraps, worked with the family, and replied
    to ukgardener1′s comments so nice even though he called you a liar. You are
    top notch! :)

    Loved this video! Makes me wish I didn’t live where I can’t have chickens.

  8. Debra Carmona says:

    All total we spent less than $300 including the dog hard wire used in the
    chicken pen. We did buy some 2″ x 3″ (cheaper than 2″ x 4″), a couple
    sheets of plywood, and some smooth particle board for the nesting boxes and
    some hardware. But the rest of the stuff was left over wood scraps from
    previous projects.

  10. Nibbles53 says:

    wow, thats pretty good for using scraps. Thats one of the best ways for
    saving lots of cash.

    I think people have confuse hard working for poor. I am in the Carolina’s
    too. It is amazing how much house and land we got compared to what we would
    have got when I lived in South Florida. Ingenuity will always get you
    further then ignorance. Thanks for the lovely video.

  21. Nat TheProjectGuy says:

  22. Dy OH says:

    So cool! What a wonderful family. Thanks for sharing. We are inspired to
    turn our shed into a chicken coop.

  23. donrainesoh says:

    I really liked your video. It’s nice to see that your whole family was
    involved as well. Hope you are getting lots of eggs.

  24. Correlation ImpliesCausation says:

    Even if tigertruckerman is over the top on this, you look like a bigger ass
    for blaming poor people, who are victims of our bullshit global government.
    Grow a conscience.

  25. Debra Carmona says:

    Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it. My family usually does projects
    together. I am enjoying good healthy home grown eggs thank you. Love my
    ladies (hens).
