    I have done it all. I am at the point where i need to make the door to the coop. I am very confused on how you did it, because you didn’t film all the parts on it. Could you please explain to me step by step, on what you did. Like how did you cut it, and where exactly did you put the 2×4′s. Or to make it a lot easier for both of us, i would highly highly highly appreciate if you posted a video response on my channel of you filming the door and all the things about it. Please think about that..

    Hi Bctruck, I’m very excited about your chicken coop and new chickens. You did a great job with that coop, by the way. Much success with you chickens. :)

    Thanks for the video I really liked how you showed the different stages of construction. I am in the process of building one very similar to yours based off this video, its a great design & works perfectly for our yard and our first batch of baby chicks. I wasn’t as fortunate with the recycled lumber though, I had to go to Lowe’s for all my material. BIG SWEET TEA CHEERS TO YA!!!

    Great chicken coop! I built one similar to the one you built and was just as excited as you were but my wife would not have it so it’s broken down leaning against the house for now.
    I purchased the books, water pails, meds, and feed months ago and just waiting for the green light so I can put this coop back together. She likes to pay for organic and free range eggs at the local store and I’m thinking they can’t get more free range than your own back yard!

    very nice video!!!! I enjoyed your sense of humor, keep up the good work!!! I can only hope my coop will come out at least liveable for my 4 little chickies. I got 2 baby duckies I have to figure out something for too.
