#61 - I Built My Wife The CUTEST Chicken Coop! (Scrap Lumber And Antique Windows)

[@JonnyTuneIn]

Bill’s Coop- For obvious reasons, this is one of my personal favorites. rb.gy/px4rks This coop features a suspended upper house with a full range below, a ramp for easy entrance to the upper level. This design has my personal touches and I have had some clients throw wheels on it after building for easy portability.

[@sioux128]

Yes, consider predator protection, even in urban or suburban areas! Many things want to eat your chickens. It’s not only wild animals like raccoons, opossums, coyote, and bobcat.

[@Thesaglife]

What happens if you have a sick or hurt bird? Maybe you end up with a broody hen who wants to hatch babies?

[@nicholasnapier2684]

I like it that you like the old ways you take appreciation in the old things when you take something old and make it look new

[@RedPoppyRanch]

I love the old stuff for sure... Hate to see it go to waste when it can look so good repurposed.

[@toffer99]

These videos are a couple of major steps above the "average" homesteader videos. Even the music is well chosen. Thanks for your hard work making them.

[@RedPoppyRanch]

Thanks for watching!

Cheers for this, I have been researching "chook pens for sale" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Machaaldity Coop Blaster - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my m8 got cool success with it.

[@normajeanvanhoose9622]

Kudos to you not only did you build a beautiful chicken co-op out of recycled material but you did it in the Winter. When it was sure to be freezing cold outside amazing job!! well done!

[@agathadolan362]

Wow! Just wow! I wish my hubby would build me a coop like that!! Wonderful job!! Absolutely do not sell it. I’m sure your wife and kids and the chickens will love it!! Great job again!

[@kelimccabelacrete4224]

This is the prettiest coop I have seen. And the fact that it was a surprise build - so much more beautiful along with the lovely music. Love it so much...thanks for sharing your gift with us.

[@theresad6990]

That turned out beautifully! You have been blessed with many gifts and the way that you put them to good use for the benefit of your family is just wonderful to see. You're a fabulous example to your sons of what a good, hard working man is like. All the best ~ Theresa

[@RedPoppyRanch]

Thank you Theresa!

[@micheleoftheoaks5506]

No one can ever accuse you of slacking off. Another great job.

[@avonleanne]

agreed!!!! wish I lived near, I would place an order! =)

[@RedPoppyRanch]

A.D.D / A.D.H.D at it's finest... Thanks Michele.

[@sixbanga9524]

Awesome work on the recycled chicken coop. .... Love what you and your family are doing to be homesteaders.... living life the way it should be

[@harveystrauss6166]

Hello, I love the fact that you are putting the time in to reuse that old wood. It gives your ranch so much more charter and class. The price was right too!

[@mikewoods897]

Beautiful workmanship. Very nice of the man to share the old wood with you.

[@lechatbotte.]

Dude, I'm so sorry you fell. Gosh that's what happens to me. Glad you were ok. Stellar job!

[@Tyrone-Ward]

You are my hero. Out there in single-digit degree weather building a chicken coop out of scrap materials - freaking awesome.

[@norahannafin4911]

I love everything about this video. The music, the speed, that you gathered free wood together, that you surprised your wife, and that she appreciated your hard work. Very nice!

[@RedPoppyRanch]

Thank you for watching!

[@arlenelamont5610]

I'm 2 years behind viewing your great videos but love the family aspects you incorporate. Gotta tell you, I start shivering when I see you working in all that snow. Live in south Alabama so don't deal well with snow, certainly not that much.

[@sherimcneil3079]

how beautiful!!! I felt very sorry for you working in such cold, made me think of how hard my dad worked summer and winter building houses! You gave me some good ideas to incorporate into my coop. thanks for sharing your video.

[@HybridMoto]

Love that you said it doesnt matter how many hours you invested into that chicken coop, it's therapy. I love working in our yard and can spend all day out there. It is therapy to me as well. But I have to balance giving time to family too.

[@taxman121]

What a hard worker. Great job!

[@kevintulak9987]

Looks great. If you insulate it you will need to make sure it is well vented for the chickens. The other thing I recommend is if it is a wooden floor, put something over it (linoleum is good) to make it easier to clean. Like wise for your wall if you can find some pvc boards (used for making signs) use that on your walls. I would also make lift out nest boxes. Everything to make it easier to clean.

[@RedPoppyRanch]

Good advice!

[@fredstanley5758]

That is so cool! You're very talented and hit that one out of the park because momma really loves it! Thanks for sharing it with us. 👍

[@RedPoppyRanch]

Thank you!

[@annieheath986]

Buff Orpingtons are my favorite hens. They are really friendly, good with kids and heavy enough that they don't fly much. They lay a really nice big brown egg. I think they are really pretty. Your family would like them. Personally I enjoy sweet friendly hens.... maybe because my mother always picked wild squawky wierd ones.

[@RedPoppyRanch]

I want hens that will be good with the kids too. We've had mean hens and turkeys before.

[@katykayy]

I love them too! Even the rooster is cool! Buffs are so laid back and easy going! I had some rare Javas that acted rabid! You can’t go wrong with Buffs for kids.

[@4460cows]

Boy howdy that there Chicken house came out really swell. The Chickens will like that house too and will produce great eggs for the family to enjoy. Looking forward to seeing that Chicken house up on the Red Poppy Ranch site.

[@summersmith4043]

Loved the coupe and I usually skip through more than half of other videos and put the speed up so they play through quicker, but you put just enough talking/ sharing in to give context to the video while speeding through the build so I didn’t have to, and also chose super calming music. Great content overall! It was such a nice watch, thanks for sharing! ❤

[@charlesburkhart800]

That is so cute, hope you can move it to your farm property. Nice laying boxes too.

[@dianawilliams-coe7747]

Your awesome... love the way you reclaim things for new.

[@fancynancy10001]

Beautiful. Very hardworking. God bless

[@petnzme304]

Very nice.... Wife loves it...attention to detail....Job well done.

[@RedPoppyRanch]

Thank you.

[@johncourtneidge]

Lovely, thank-you! And to Cedar for mivating you to do this. And to backing you!

[@grandmasfavorites]

You made it look so easy but I know a lot of work and your talent went into it. I'm with Cedar, its a keeper.

[@joyadams507]

One of the best chicken coop I have ever seen.. absolutely adorable! Need to see a follow up with your chickens in it !

[@waynecompton7612]

You know you work hard and put a lot of effort in what you do a good job I am sure the old wolf will not blow the hen house down its well built, Take care .

[@cindbncb4629]

That is the cutest chicken coop I have ever seen and I have been researching for weeks now. And the window boxes - wow! I'm saving this video for reference for when I get to build (or help build) my own chicken coop. (Im moving to the country in about 6 months). Thanks for sharing!!

[@xoncention3265]

Appreciate your fast forwarding the construction - laughed at the inordinate time for your dog's toilet break - we all have trouble in the cold it seems. You are probably acutely aware after your ladder misstep, but If you are going to be involved in your house build, then please put thought into your safety working above head height. I didn't see the footings you made, but it may be worth looking at one course of bricks on a bed of mortar just to keep the timber off the bare earth? Great to see you re-purposing building materials the way you did. Well done.

[@RedPoppyRanch]

Thank you.

[@bikerchic7938]

Beautiful. I too love doing things like this

[@kim-halleluyah3315]

Ok. I've been watching many videos for ideas and instructions. I must say yours makes it look so simple. I can't wait to tackle my own project.

[@RatSleds]

Awesome bud some.are made to build.with wood awesome now thats talent and made with up cycled materials too! u would get easy 3000 here my neck of woods keep on building dude

[@nancysaake6497]

Beautiful job. Excellent work and love the upcycled material!

[@denaredford6701]

This video , funny , loved it . The kids popping in and out of the coop .

[@Downeastwaves]

Totally awesome!!! Glad it gets to go to the ranch!

[@uds69]

Thats what i like on ur channel that u not one of those who can go to Home Depo if they need something and just buy whatever they need. u go and look for old things and make em new for very few bucks... Heads up

[@RedPoppyRanch]

I'm too cheap...

[@corylenihan2736]

wow great job. You are a hard worker. keep up the great videos. very motivating. and inspiring

[@SteveM0732]

That dog must have been holding it for 12 hours.

[@RedPoppyRanch]

That was a little excessive.

[@6677nicole]

I can’t tell you, how much I love your chicken coop. I already watched it three times, because I would like to build one like this. Also, you have an adorable family! Love, your way from Germany

[@RedPoppyRanch]

Thanks...

[@uhhuh3462]

Wife and daughter give you no recognition until you solicit it. Sir, you deserve more for the work you do. I understand that you will do anything/everything for your family but they all want to take take take from you

[@pldyer69muzic]

Your Response To Amount of Hrs. Therapy! Some Will Get It. Most Won't. Looks Good.

[@Tyrone-Ward]

Care to explain.

[@DVolvoguy777-x7o]

Tyrone Ward it’s like riding a Harley. If I would have to explain, you wouldn’t understand.

[@janiceje3807]

Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful.

[@salmonhunter7414]

Pretty handy for a plumber LOL Very nice

[@bretannieleger-loveland6432]

i love it. what size is it? i have to make a bigger hutch for my hen house. expanding my flock. great job.

[@RedPoppyRanch]

It's about 6'x8'

[@rodfair5698]

Jeez, man is there nothing you can't do? Great job! Love your videos. Thank you for taking the time to make them, especially with such great quality! Rod

[@tomjones6296]

Forget the chickens....put insulation and interior and keep it as a little cabin, or office. Very quaint!

[@RedPoppyRanch]

My kids think it will be a better play house...

[@indigoblue4791]

What a fantastic job! I'm so impressed!!! New subscriber, so pleased l found you guys. What an awesome journey you're on. Catching up with your video's right now. 😀

[@RedPoppyRanch]

Thanks for watching JT

[@Shadow2084]

Awesome! You did a LOT of work but you ended up with a priceless HEN HOUSE!!! *side note* - I thought for a second your dog may have frozen himself to the snow! ;))

[@RedPoppyRanch]

It was a little excessive on the dogs part...

[@MrBrodyx69]

Love it! Keep up with keeping Momma happy.

[@ThriftyGarage]

You have a great journey ahead of you.

[@gigiw.7650]

Beautiful! So much better than buying one ready made. 😊🐔💖

[@joemcmillan3793]

[@liziwemabona1245]

[@jackp6]

awesome job, any hen will appreciate such a palace

[@RedPoppyRanch]

They better... Thanks Jack!

[@cassityart7001]

Super cool. Abundant charm. And you could probably sell it for 5k no problem. But it was truly a labor of love. Happy egg laying!

[@wildemind1]

What a great coop!

[@fishenfootball]

that thing is awesome! And 3k is conservative, I think, but even at 4k the Mrs. was smart not to let it go

[@Pinkenstein]

That is the most romantic thing I've seen in I don't know how long...

[@RedPoppyRanch]

Thank you!

[@nwomoe6713]

Did u say 3°I'm assuming Fahrenheit..thats not cold..up here in northern canada i have to get rid of my birds every fall call because winters go down to -50C and I refuse to try and heat the coop lol

[@michaelhorsford403]

[@smilingdog54]

[@kmonnier]

You're hard core. I cower in my basement in the winter.

[@RedPoppyRanch]

I try to have to get outside regardless of the weather.

[@billbasherbill1364]

Hey everyone, the greatest success that I have had was with the Coop Magic Tactic (i found it on google) definately the best info that I have ever tried.

[@AartiKumari-if5og]

I've been researching into building coops and discovered a fantastic resource at Coop Magic Tactic (check it out on google)

[@davewemmel7333]

There are many factors in creating an amazing design. One place I found which successfully combines these is the Coop Magic Tactic (check it out on google) without a doubt the most incredible info that I have ever heard of. look at this unbelievable website.

[@Arcturus_YT]

I have spent months studying building coops and found a great resource at Coop Magic Tactic (check it out on google)
