    I just subscribed we just bought land in TN mountains and plan to do the same as you are about trying to be mtg. and util. free. Well you already have most of the plywood for the coop. You are doing great! We are in our 60′s just getting started. You have a lifetime ahead so just don’t let the world distract you. Bless you and yours!

  17. tribal400esauslayer says:

    What the Hell is that weird ass annoying sound in the background????

  18. gattacca94 says:

    I get it…but you have to have the drills, table saw, screws…etc. That is the cost of building it yourself other than time. But I do agree…if you can build it yourself then that’s best. You will enjoy it more. We just built ours. We call it our chicken Palace.

  19. SHADIGGADY says:

    lmao! Good research man! loved your comment about having to put the 500 dollar coop together yourself.

    NICE.SOUNDS LIKE U NEED SOME BP MEDS. YOUR OUT OF BREATH!!

    I don’t know if anyone mentioned this but chicken wire is meant to keep chickens in our out – but it doesn’t do the job for controlling predators… Raccoons and dogs or foxes can get through chicken wire pretty easily. If you want protection for your chickens then you want to use hardware cloth and heavy duty staples or what did was use some roofing nails. hope this helps! I’ve lost a few chickens to raccoons – they are vicious!

    Lol, loving it mate,you are certainly getting into the “make do and mend” mindset.Something for you to think about for the longterm,if you have a greenhouse sorted,try and get it to match up alongside your chickencoop, and set an air vent from it into the greenhouse,that way you can get the heat from your chickens,to extend your growing season,all important when you are self reliant.Plus you have the added benefit of letting the hens into your greenhouse before you plant,to eat the bugs.nice job
