A quick look at the finished chicken coop. Simple design for keeping a few layers. I’ll post a vid on how I made it.

    1. it is impractical… it’s makes me smile and work happily in the farm… visitors love it.
    2. it doesn’t automatically close… that time i don’t need a closer… i need to chase them back to the coop before the mosquitoes start their work right after sunset…
    3. this is crap stupid and childish in my way…. but will not be removed because this vdo is in my channel, sorry for disturbing you…

    i work in the farm until around 4-5am. and yes i’m a little lazy…. ha ha

  9. ChicharonyPresidente says:

    I don’t know about this. Seems kind of impractical. How does it close? Empty the bottle every night? So it can fill in the morning? That’s crap. How about an automated feeder? This is stupid and childish and should be removed for stupidness and impracticality.

  10. Slice0fKimb0 says:

    is the coop door just to open it in the AM? Do you have to close it yourself at night?

  11. Larry Nash says:

    Rube Goldberg would have been proud of you. Where’s your automatic door closer?

  12. Scott kelly says:

    เด็กชายเมืองจึงเกียจคร้านที่พวกเขาจะไม่ได้รับการขึ้นเพื่อให้ไก่ออก
    City boys are so lazy they will not even get up to let the chickens out.

    nice coop and design! i hope to build one soon!!

  19. Ghostsquatter1 says:

    Yes, good point. Rodents are an important thing to consider. I have the coop in an open spot without much cover but, those weeds need to be kept down. I never saw a rat here but, there are some mice that the owls and snakes help to control. When I farmed 30 years ago I had to deal with a rat family one time when they made a home near the barn. I trapped them then flooded the tunnels. Never had rats again. Lucky, because if you don’t get them soon enough, they can become a real bad problem.

  20. Ghostsquatter1 says:

    Yes, my understanding is that you should have one nest box for every 4 to 5 hens (some will say, “3 to 4 hens).” I Don’t plan to keep more than 4 or 5 hens so, I’m good. I may also add a nest box on the floor of the coop that my brother-in-law has for me.

  21. Pawoodsman says:

    Nice looking coop, so will all the hens share the 2 boxes

    good looking chicken tractor, if our property wasnt so multi level / terraced I would use the tractor.

  23. wingman115 says:

    Nice setup my buddy has a coop and had a rat issue messing with the chicken feed until he cut the grass under and arou d his coop. I can’t wait to see the birds full grow. Thanks for sharing.

  24. Beeper Man says:
