    I have a headache now and cant finish the video

  15. knittingkninja says:

    I think it’s just a regular board but you pre-drill where you want to put screws in so the wood doesn’t split. that’s what I would guess anyway

  16. Coolebeans says:

    I was building a coop at the same time as watching and kept having to wait for the instructions to catch up with me, so annoying. Please speed it up a little?

    DIY chicken coops are a way to eliminate the costly expense of the pre-made standard coop

    100s of years of carpenters prior to electricity

  29. lostindiancamp says:

    You seem to be a good carpenter.

  30. Brian Pierce says:

    Thanx. Lots of good info. To you dumb asses who can’t seem to keep your GD mouths’ shut, hear this: RIDICULE is the ARGUMENT of a FOOL. Now go look in a mirror for THE definition of FOOL. Just kill yourself! Your of NO value to anyone. Oh and I won’t be reading your comments so GFY!

  31. TheDaedalx says:

    Oops, sorry. I clicked this video because I thought the title said “ Chicken Poop Projectile”.

  32. macmainuk says:

    whats a coner ?

  33. TangoSpiceCompany says:

    Been following your chicken adventure so far, nice job on the first part of the coop build.

  34. gardener2go says:

    My coop has had hardware cloth floors for two years now and most of the poo goes through. Once in awhile I have to scoop out a pancake poo and then hose the rest through. This entire process takes about five minutes and maybe once every two weeks or so. This beats the deep litter method that takes a backhoe to clean out!

  35. 187wolfen says:

    looks good next time for nails use 16 penny nails

  36. johnnyangel26 says:

    The 1/2 in hardware cloth might not work out for you. I used 1/2 inch galvanized chicken wire for my coop and I clean it out with a small plastic rake which works ok but not perfect. Also I have 7 hens and 3 laying boxes. But my hens all pretty much lay in same box, it’s their instinct. I figgured out they do this so they can take turns sitting on eggs. Nice job! can’t wait to see it finished. I’ll have to post a video of mine.

  37. spanishforjames says:

    Looks good so far. Can’t wait to see the finished job.

  38. lunarrn says:

    I can’t wait for part two. I live in Florida at 30 degrees latitude and have been giving serious thought to coop construction . I have mine framed in but not sided. It’s the 100 degree summers we have been having that has me concerned over whether to wood side or just wire side the coop.

  39. Jerry Hogkiller says:

    great job!

  40. Bonstergirl says:

    Oh thanks for this vid. It’s very helpful. I want to start with chickens, and I’m a hopeless carpenter!

  41. dlvmark says:

    Great stuff! What did it cost to make that? Keep posting brother!

  42. lirg123 says:

    How about the feeding spot and a few entertainment center (chicken likes to hang around in high place, so a gymnastic like place where they can jump onto bars and stuff, bars themselves are not needed).

  43. 4ucarlosmurphy says:

    “NEW YANKEE WORKSHOP”?
    Too much information…
    On second thought, he don’t sound like no Yankee…

  44. theswimer419 says:

    you need 2 boxes per ever 10 chickens. so you only need 3 laying boxes

  45. C Fusco says:

    he talks funny

  46. jasonmushersee says:

    Pretty looking coop. Should paint mine like that. The framing square, just shine it up with a wire wheel on a drill & some oil for rust prevention.

  47. Wolfzarie says:

    exactly. screws for the win.

  48. smallblockfuelie says:

    Yes.

  49. smallblockfuelie says:

    Old school with the hammer and nails !!

  50. THREEFLOORSDOWN1 says:
