I’m hoping I can build one too lol it’s just myself 😂 there should be more videos geared towards helping women build a chicken coop. Because not everybody that build a chicken coop is a man with a garage full of tools lol don’t get me wrong. I have a lot of basic tools and I can put together a chicken coop from tractor supply, but I want to build a better one and a chicken run. I wish there was more videos geared towards helping women build a chicken coop and chicken runs with a list of materials also lol because I need a list and the video lol.

I don't know why my previous comment didn't post so I guess I will try to say it all over again. I'm about to make a 4x8 to house 3 chickens and I've had this mindset of building it to code, which is silly. You helped snap me out of that and cut my material list in 1/2. I'm a lil worried about the weight of snow but here in TN that's only a problem 3 days a year basically. Only thing I would recommend (at least for me) is using hardware cloth for protections because I know around here a racoon will snatch a chicken straight through chicken wire and those holes you have there are much bigger than that. Other than that you just saved me alot of time and money. Great vid, Thanks!

You need 1/2 inch mesh hardware cloth if you want to keep small birds and mice out so they don't eat your chicken food (and also so your chickens don't murder them and eat them). Also, for ease of cleaning, I'd make the door wide enough for a wheelbarrow to go through, and make the bottom part (very ingenious, btw) be like another door, with a hinge at the bottom, and latches on left and right at the top sides, so you can flip it down while cleaning out the coop, so you can drive the wheelbarrow in and out of there.
@thevaughnhomestead
@thevaughnhomestead 6 месяцев назад
I have started using 1 inch wire to help keep out larger critters such as opossums, I learned that the adults cant get in with the 2x4 inch wire I was using but the younger ones can, but we enjoy seeing the birds flying in eating what the chickens leave behind.... and since the cages aren't huge its pretty simple cleaning using a 5 gallon bucket and wheelbarrow..... but I do like the idea of the bottom of the door having the flip down option, may have to play with that idea thanks

Hi I made a simple build like this for my run but my coop is a metal shed, tin I believe and it's like an oven in the summers here in North Texas. I'm going to try using shade cloth over the roof next year to test out.

yea that's the reason I only do the top half that way when they are on the ground during the day they have the ventilation and wind flow on the bottom half, but at night when they are perched they are out of any wind chills or rainy weather

@thevaughnhomestead
@thevaughnhomestead 5 месяцев назад
Glad it worked out for you, one idea could be basically build an additional frame similar to the coop just bigger and don’t have tin just wire, and add a little door that leads from one to the other part for that you can open and close….. check out my video called “added a little door just for the ducks to go in and out of” use that concept to allow them to enter the run part

I really like this design. I have been watching videos on chicken coops for days now, I want to go with this design. I would like to build this exact design in a 10x10 or 8x10 , in your opinion will this be fisable if I want to make a tractor out of it and be able to pull it by hand,or will it be to heavy? may or may not add wheels. ? Thanks for the info !
@thevaughnhomestead
@thevaughnhomestead 28 дней назад
I think it would be fine, I would recommend making some kind of handle on the front to make it easier to pick up instead of having to grab under the bottom frame
@dustinoquinn3212
@dustinoquinn3212 Год назад
Great video! I’m planning on making this just a larger version and I live on a really steep hill…..I’m going to make a base frame like you did in the beginning of the video and add legs to the lower side to make it all level. You think we could just place those on cap blocks that have been leveled to keep the “legs” from sinking into the ground and continue to build as you did here? Thanks for the video again!

@thevaughnhomestead
@thevaughnhomestead 4 месяца назад
lol that should be fun...... but as for the tin the chickens stay on the ground most of the day time so they are on the lower side where the wind is blowing through, and by the time they perch is when the sun is going down therefore tin won't be as hot

I will probably make mine a little bit bigger and I think i am going to add 4 wheels on the outside and make them so that I can raise the coop up and move it and then lower the wheels so that its is stationary again. I know those chickens will probably want new ground to feed on and will give each space time to grow back again. I did not catch the reason for raising the door instead of just letting it go to the bottom of the coop? How many chickens were you anticipating to occupy your coup?
@thevaughnhomestead
@thevaughnhomestead 4 месяца назад
I do the 14 inch wall under the door so that the chickens don't run out when I open the door, and me personally I don't put more than 1 Rooster and 3 Hens in this one, but you could probably put about 7-8 total in it and be fine

thanks, and its really basically the same pattern of building, just changing the measurements, and honestly being an 8x8 would be almost no cutting cause most the boards would stay 8ft long
