DIY Chicken Coop! from free pallets 

Appreciate the video and definitely gave me ideas for how to use pallets. I agree with others that the space is quite small for even just one chicken. Figured I'd share what is recommended. General Space Guidelines Per Chicken Standard Breed Chickens: 4 square feet of coop space per bird; 8 square feet of run space per bird. Standard Heavy Breed Chickens: 8 square feet of coop space per bird; 15 square feet of run space per bird.

I came for the content. I stayed for the music. Hey from the USA!

came for the build stayed for the jazz

My hens definitely love to sit on their perches when they come in at night.

i have some points i wanted to share with u. Chickens actually sleep on a roost, even if you do not see this in commercial posture. I would still advise every hobby owner to offer this out of repertoire to the animals. It is an instinct of the animals not to lie on the ground because they do not feel safe there. This will probably also have a positive effect on their health and happiness and you may even notice a diffrence with egg production. In addition, I found the very tiny outside spot quit sad to see. From my personal point of view, you do not do justice to the animals there they hardly have enough space to turn both at the same time, let alone scratch and roll which they both love very much. Please don't get me wrong I see that you have made an effort to make them a nice place but I hope that you can do something with my tips.

This is just good old hard work. Kids these days don’t know what that even is.

Well done. I would raise their coop off the ground, that way they get a bit more room as they could go under it. Plus it’ll provide shade and when it rains the coop would be off the ground & help keep them dry.

use a saws all they go right through those nails and speed up the process ten fold. Or you can use a saw that cuts steel. Pry bar and hammer work too with much effort. Great Build by the way! Thanks for the inspiration :)

Hi there 👎 To small, 2 chickens

Хорошая идея 👍

I think as a challenge you did really well but like some other comments, yes it's too small, especially including the size of the run, predators would be able to get in too.. good build though despite its usage.

Great idea well done

yeah Bunnings the OG👍💪🤙

Do you only eat 1 egg a day between you and the rest of your family?? You should have 6 laying hens if you want enough for a small family.

nice video thanks for the guide :D

the only tool i have is cordless drill😂😂

It's a good looking dog house lol

Looks good man. Nice job.

Good job ! 👏

Did the same, 20 hens 5 roosters takes time but makes u a bit more appreciative

My mother is selling me her one bedroom house on half an acre and there is a half built goat pallet shed in the back just sitting there and I want to tear it down and build a coop with the good pieces as I have a flock of three hens in a tractor that wont work for them come canadian winter.

Chickens attract critters like fox and hawks and snakes, raccoons. Youl should protect the chickens!

Isn’t it too small for even one chicken?

beautiful video great work done

We have 2 rescue ducks and im tryin to figure out a cheap easy outdoor enclosure

It's so cute but OMG, this coop size is only good for a hamster. Way too small, poor chickens.

🎉🎉🎉🎉

Good

Nice vid but please use the somewhat right tool for thr job the hammer needs to be replaced. But good vid 👌

Way too small I hope you build something bigger. people on here saying nice job obviously don’t raise chickens. I don’t want to bash you on this because it’s actually a really nice quality build , just a little on the cramped side.

This is so cute.

Looks like the roof will leak

there's no roost for them to perch on to sleep

orada tilki yok mu

That’s a bird house

How many pallets did u use

✊🏾

That might work for 1 chicken. Not worth breaking down all those pallets & pulling nails.

How much pellets did you use?Would love to try it

This is really nice but maybe 1 chicken could fit in this

Takes forever to build it

no plan no coop

That’s gotta be for a little chicks, right?

Im guessing the chickens are going to be miggets

Long boring get to the point man

Good
