Add a center post at the back and above the door to run center beam to hold up the cattle panel in the center , you can also hang the water and feed containers from the center pole .. to keep predators from digging under the coops lay a two foot wide hardware cloth on the ground and cover it with some mulch of some kind

@HoneyHollowHomestead Год назад

I hate chicken wire, it's a real pain! Did you know that racoons know how to open those bolt latches? Yeah, you definitely need to cover the top of that coop with something to keep critters out.

@kellyharbaugh9391 Год назад

Staple the hardware cloth to the bottom part like you said, but let it come out about a foot, or maybe even more on the ground and just place you could bury it even or replace rocks or some gravel that you’ve been landscaping in your yard with and put it all the way around but they might try to dig through it but they’re gonna hit the hardware cloth under Neath it all the way around and when animals try to dig to get in there, they’re just gonna hit that hardware cloth

@marienorman3731 Год назад

Well done Nate, by the time you finish the 3rd coop it will look like a 5 * hotel. Great job, give yourself a break. What a lovely man🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓

@ernie7065 Год назад

Have you watched "Sow the land" vlog? He has both egg layers and meat birds, and all of his cages are much simpler, and moveable, that improves his soil. Just wondered if you ever watch others for ideas, and then decide to (apparently) spend so much more money.

@sgrvtl7183 Год назад

I watch Sow the Land, Jason has it down on the cages!

@ernie7065 Год назад

@@sgrvtl7183 I appreciate your reply to my comment. It amazes me how so many RU-vid creators insist (by their actions) to "reinvent the wheel" when multiple vloggers have builds that work well. The "Hollar Homestead" uses his chickens to more quickly convert clippings to compost--- and I haven't seen any other off-gridder farmer emulate his technique. Oh well.

@donnagandy3653 Год назад

@Ernie * My father in law raised 40,000 chickens every 6 weeks. He scraped the houses after every batch and added it to his hay fields and every pasture on their property. Worked amazingly. Of course, 4 sons and 2 daughter in laws to help on the farm. He did eggs when his boys were young and switched to broilers as they left home. He had my son helping with pulling calves when he was 4. We all benefitted from the farms so we all worked. I believe that this way of life was foreign to Nate and Katie before they bought their property .I know they both have read and studied about making a homestead sucessful....but just like pulling a calf or picking up biddy boards and breathing a huge sigh of relief when there are no snakes under them, you learn from doing a and things get easier the more you do them. I think Nate and Katie are doing a markable, outstanding job. I think trolls and bitter old farts should sit down and be quiet! A Farmers granddaughter who grew up in a city 4 states away...then grew up and married a farmer's son and learned to garden, can what came out of those gardens, tend to 2 commercial chicken houses, drive a tractor and bush hog the fields, plow a garden, tend to cows and learn that that calf that followed you all around the pond you fished in last summer is now the roast/steak/hamburger on your plate at supper time. Mt husband's family farmed 25 acres and it was a never ending job for an entire family. I can't imagine it on a scale that Nate and Katie are doing it. I'm in awe of both of them!

@ernie7065 Год назад

@@donnagandy3653 I agree with your comment. Even these comments help their RU-vid algorithm. I expect the other commenters who agree with my comment, find it frustrating to see what is built and would have liked to offer ideas based on plans vs construction in progress. The wood was expensive. ROI? The longer it lasts the better. Live and learn I guess.

@carlapierle8623 Год назад

It's looking great, Nate! I bet the 2nd and 3rd ones go faster now that you have your process thought out. I do see most people with these cover the entire top with hardware cloth to prevent unwanted predators.

@jeffgootjes8418 Год назад

Sooner or later predators will have a feast. This is why experienced homesteaders always say “infrastructure before animals”. Doing it backwards just puts alot of unnecessary pressure on you to hurry up and put something together.

@reggieedmonds5325 Год назад

Infrastructure is the key to successful animal farming.

@lindachenoweth9002 Год назад

Has no one suggested yet, about keeping critters from digging down and under the base of the coops, to dig a narrow trench all around, maybe a foot or so deep, then secure some of the chicken wire to some 2x2s at the bottom of the trench, then afix the top of the wire to the base of the pen? Saw this done for a large coop and it worked great. A lot more work, but you won't have any dead chickens. Just a suggestion. Its looking great!

@PoeticJustice7 Год назад

Nate, you did a fantastic job on the coop. From what I’ve seen from homesteaders, you never get done with projects, so enjoy your accomplishments, no matter how great or small. Everything you’re doing is for your family. Katie will be happy to see the chicks on the ground.

@gkiferonhs Год назад

2 general production comments. I like the time-lapse stuff. I like how you mix the background sound more quietly than some. It makes it easier to hear the program.

@kellyharbaugh9391 Год назад

Yeah, that was gonna be my next question. How are you going to keep possum skunks coons from climbing in there those are big holes?

@ernie7065 Год назад

Agree with the other comments and would add: how long g do you expect the pine (?) wood to last? Could you have painted it or used a preservative of some type? It just seems the weather will cause issues shortly.

@t-faith3153 Год назад

We used red barn stain. Been over 4 years now sign of peeling. So for.

@barbfrank917 Год назад

Nate just wondering why you aren't adding the tarp all the way to the edge, it will save money, you won't need to add chicken wire and it will keep chickens dry. Great job 👍

@martinsmith251 Год назад

Coop looks great. Nice design. Tip: if you don’t trim the chicken wire around the door you will find that the cut edge forms an edge like a surgical scalpel as the outer edges of my body will attest. #DontBeLazy

@larrysowada9905 Год назад

You know raccoons can climb and with those larger holes ( cattle panels ) they can still get in and fest on your chickens, you need more chicken wire to close it up totally

@sgrvtl7183 Год назад

exactly - when I saw how big those holes were, just shook my head....

@t-faith3153 Год назад

Here a tape tip . When we built our coops, we used gray duck tape , the sun rays brake it down VERY fast. The black gorilla tape Very strong and last alot longer in the sun . & Note we bought orange hay string in the rolls. The ones they use on baling hay. It's has been a big help with all kinds of useful stuff. & Note don't make our mistake. And put chicken wire on the ground outside the coops .it gets in the way of weed eaters and when it gets covered with dirt it rusts. ( Our next project REPAIR 😜) . Hopefully the cloth wire might work better. We enjoy both your channels. & My husband is very proud of all the things you guys are doing and all the work.

@tristan.bevins Год назад

Good stuff! I’m also building a hoop coop. 10’x50’. Been in the works for a while. Nearly done! The raccoons around here would be able to open that latch. I have to use carabiners.

@lindaburke2973 Год назад

Great job on the chicken coop. Just suggestion…I like your swing block door “lock” but you might consider putting a small block on the door frame allow the block to rest/have a place to sit on because over time the swing will just loosen and that block will just fall compromising the door to open. You will just swing it up and clock wise to open😊

@lindaburke2973 Год назад

Just saw it through and you have it latched 😂

@tammielieurance6204 Год назад

You are doing a great job and I see you have a professional OCD. Where every corner must be perfect , and I think you made it perfect so rest now pat yourself on the back and give yourself a break. I know on a HOMESTEAD the work is never done, but as humanbeins, your body and mind can only do as much as it is. Design to do. There is 24 hours in a day and when it is extreme heat or cold weather, you rundown quicker than normal.. you have been punching yourself to much with in side and out side I can see you getting physically runed down. Same with you Katy, your at that computer day and night working and going on business trips often thet l worry for you and your family.. I so enjoy your Vlogs, your recipes and your meal planning for the week ahead you are sure organized, OCD, both are ripe A leaders and teachers. My sister is the he same way where every minute of the day is planned out to the minute. But you forget to plan some down time, play time. And I am worried that you both my be spreading yourself way to then. .. I love watching you every day. . And look just what you got done in one years time, you turned jungle into a beautiful farm HOMESTEAD , is mind blowing..🤯 I would be heartbroken if anything was to go wrong for you. .. so make some tea , plant some seeds in your garden and give yourself some time to watch your garden grow. .. peace love and happiness always your friend in Wyoming USA

@carolynh8866 Год назад

Looks great. I would add chicken wire aross the whole of the top to prevent smaller preditors climbing in or aerial preditors getting in . In Australia we have crows that have worked out how to fly in and out of small gaps ... We also have digging preditors like foxes and rats so we also dig in a 2 foot wire mesh barrier around the outside ..just to be safe

@donnagandy3653 Год назад

Nate, Maybe you could add screen door springs on the doors so they automatically close behind you? I really enjoy watching your vlogs and watching your homestead come together!

@t-faith3153 Год назад

That spring is good ideal. Note place a stiff wire, inside. So in time when the wooden nob gets lose and locks you in , you have a way to unlock from inside. 🤣😂 Ask me how I know that one. Lol . Outside alone locked in the coop. Lol

@margaretbedwell3211 Год назад

The chicken coop looks mighty fine. I can hardly wait to see the chickens in the coop as well as out in the run you're going to put up with the electric fencing. Thanks for sharing this build, Nate. Have a Blessed day.

@debbieclark9333 Год назад

I saw someone else use metal roofing panels horizontally to cover the hoop and up the back. For a more permanent coop.

@kimnelligan9820 Год назад

I would put the chicken wire all the way to the top because somethings going to climb it and get in through the top or a snake can get in through the top. Why leave just that little bit

@rickwamps7445 Год назад

Glad to hear you say hardware cloth was coming! Chicken wire is good to keep chickens in but isn't strong enough to keep predators out. Coop looks great! I would suggest hardware cloth all the way over the top. Racoon will cimb right up it and through.

Looking good. Don't forget the triangle space at the bottom front between the first and second coops. You filled in the bottom on the outside of the first coop. I could still see the space between the first and second coops.

@caseymarion2494 Год назад

The basic concept for your coop is a nice design - however some of the WORST very common poultry predators - RACOONS, specifically, and others such as skunks, possum, etc. - will be able to effortlessly climb right up and into this enclosure, easily entering through the bars of the cattle panels, where they'll feast on your flock. The tarp offers scant protection, as well. Intrepid predators won't have any problem at all chewing right through it in a matter of minutes. You MUST have hard wire barriers (that scrap 2"x4" wire fencing in the old barn would likely suffice) around your ENTIRE enclosure to protect your birds! You may also want to consider using some inexpensive metal roofing, which would easily bend, conforming to the rounded shape of your "Hoop Coop." Additionally, this structure MUST be securely anchored to the ground, as well. (Tall T-posts would work) Otherwise force from strong storm winds will certainly cause a lot of damage, likely even pick it up with that tarped end. Despite the weight, it's really not particularly heavy in the face of howling winds. MUCH better safe than sorry!

@angelikastock296 Год назад

Like your smile. The coop is looking nice. I put a big branch, a stump and a log in my chicken area. Also a old chair you don’t use is great for them. They will sit on the branches, jump over the them , sit on the back top of the chair. By accident they use a cathedral as a nesting box. Doing good Nate. ❤

@karanfarrell256 Год назад

Looks similar to the runs we have built..hard work indeed, but they seem to hold up well, except the tarps need replaced almost every year.... we may upgrade by attaching metal over the area now covered by tarps.. suggestion. You need to use at least poultry fencing over All of it as coons will go through the top. And chickens will be trapped... the tarp will not stop predators.

@jillyd2807 Год назад

Would it be a good idea to make a smaller, separate fixture covered with tarp, for wind and rain shelter, to go inside the coup rather than cover the whole thing?? 🤔 Excellent job, though!

Trying to understand why you are trying to keep it level. Don't think the chickens care. But ultimately to each their own. Not knocking it btw, many ways to build out a coop.

@jerylynbean9904 Год назад

Nate, the coops look nice, but they are FAR from predator-proof! Also, they give predators a lot of coverage backed up to the wooded area. A goose in the coop would go a long way for the protection of the flock. You can't be too careful!
