    do you have any problems with snakes?

  2. briansmobile1 says:

    They do fine in snow. We have temps down to -20 F and snow is typically between 4″-20″ for three months here. Water is the concern in winter. I use a magnetic engine oil pan heater on the bottom of the water can. The can hangs below the roost. I like to think this helps heat the roost, but I’m not sure. What I am sure of is they do great in the winter- they just don’t lay any eggs if it’s too cold.

    Thanks for the instructions. Here’s a tip for you. We had a coop when I was a child and my dad hung a string with a 3 penny nail from the wire top. He would have us take a head of cabbage or lettuce and stab the core with the nail to suspend the head at about a foot above the ground. The chickens loved it. Also, if you grow sunflowers you can lay them out to dry and then put them in with the chickens and they’ll peck out all the dried seed. Again, thanks for sharing!

    very helpful. it answered the very question i had regarding their nesting area

  11. majorstube says:

    Oh man. I guess I can just sketch up some plans of my own and try and re create what you got going on here. I will post a video on what I did after I finish

  12. briansmobile1 says:

    I just drafted it and built it. I used to study drafting and engineering so I hate buying someone else’ design if I can do it to fit my constraints better.

  13. majorstube says:

    Can you post where you got the plans to build this? My mom is getting chickens and I like your design so I told her I would build it for a late mothers day present

    Use grass clippings for the ground area man. That stone is no good for them.

    Hey Brian!

    Have you thought about the idea of putting a link to my website in your description? Let me know your thoughts. Maybe we could do a partnership. :-)

  22. AJ Simon says:

    OK. :-)

    I have a content website that has some good tips and advice for people wanting to build a chicken coop. I’ve been working on it for over a year now and it’s sort of my baby. Lol

    Anyway, I was wondering if maybe you would like to put a link to my website in the description below your video. As a free reference to your channel followers. Let me know your thoughts. :-)

  23. briansmobile1 says:

    I don’t do PM’s. You can ask ?’s here though.

  24. AJ Simon says:

    Hey Brian!

    “Ask in the past” LOL

    Awesome video bro. Do you think you could private message me? I have something I would like to ask you about. :-)
