What a beautifully done book kzbin.infoUgkxo4aMFkUegBx-KHPIJlfwKPHu7kQXAR9N ! The text and the photographs are brilliant. It is thorough and genuinely informative. Joseph Truini got another winner! No one does it better! Love the Cape Cod Shed with the Blue door!

[@rhondaadams7372]

great job! my only suggestion to those who would try and build this coop is to have the chicken wire buried 4-6 inches in the ground all the way around the coop foundation or your feathery little friends will dig themselves out! Chickens are very determined to find a way out!

[@LivingSmallAndLovingLarge]

We have had these up for a few years now and have no trouble with them digging out. We also let them out during the day.

[@high-techredneck5941]

I’ve raised chickens for years and never had any dig themselves out…..

[@suzanne2875]

I like this but i do think wire on the bottom is a good idea to keep predators from digging under tne tin

[@RL090]

They do dig out

[@LivingSmallAndLovingLarge]

We have never had our chickens to dig out. We free range them during the day and they only go up at night.

[@patty9265]

Been looking for a way to use some old tin to build a coop and this is a perfect way for me to recycle some of it. I can make a larger coop for way less money. Thanks for sharing this simple build for someone with no building skills like me. 63 year old female . I can do this. ✌

[@sunnyflower1979]

Been watching videos like this for 2 yrs while I save for my homestead. Im not a city girl and the suburbs is to restrictive. Watching these videos confirms my decision. I know where I belong. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 😊

Glad we could help

Excellent work mate, most people these days are making a hotel for chooks, this is effective and used materials already on hand....Good looking coop mate

This is just what we needed to see. My husband, sons, and I will be building our first coop and run . We are on a tight budget and have limited supplies like the supplies in this video. Thanks for making this video.

[@elhambromell1179]

What do people use a coup and run for ?

[@CountryLifestyle2023]

@@elhambromell1179 Runs are often used if you have limited space and to protect from predators, vs free range.

Thank you so much for this video. Been trying to find predator free coop I can make myself, no luck till today! The holes for the 4x4 may prove difficult, but I think everything else I can do by myself. Thanks again.

That was great, can't find men like you any more.Thank you for making a coop as simple as 1,2,3.great job.

We got are chicken coop that my parents had when the were young and rebuilt the floor and walls. We didn’t really have a budget but it came out good. We made a nice wooden run and then we took a metal dog pen and built that onto the front of the wooden run.

[@LivingSmallAndLovingLarge]

that's great

Hi! We just got some Rio Poults ourself and I’m researching everyone’s coops before we start ours. Glad I found your channel! Nice To Meet You!

[@dl8619]

Just bought 4 easter egger chickens and I think I'm gonna make this exact coop. I'm not a carpenter at all so wish me luck.

[@JohnSmith-qm2ph]

nothing like a full 8 minutes of the same soothing, generic, country jingle you would hear in the background of any local furniture sales tv commercial from 1998. with a little random hammering blended over top. Exactly the instructional I was looking for. I understood every word. I'm kidding to an extent but..nice work with salvaging the metal roof and materials. Also, this coop looks like something you'd see in the rural countryside on Grand theft auto.

[@marshallbinny3669]

Yay I found a coop that I can build and I have leftover tin from our barn, and posts. Does it keep racoons out? And thanks for showing how to use snips I tried but I couldn't figure it out 🤣

[@Tilas8]

I have physical limitations. I don’t know how I would lift and carry these things and to affix a roof on top. Other than that this looks simple enough to do. Maybe I can use pallets instead and to not make mine so high where I will need a ladder or something. I really needed to see your way of doing this. I want to see more from you. Thank you for this video.

[@MountainGyspy]

I always make sure to bury my chicken wire at least 18" out from the coop. Critters give up trying to dig in to get my chickens that way.

[@LivingSmallAndLovingLarge]

We have never had anything try to dig in. The first of these has been built for almost 5 years.

[@ashwinivaranasi1229]

Very nice , thanks for sharing

[@suhasinigomes1317]

What is the total cost?

[@LivingSmallAndLovingLarge]

It was mostly scrap/reused material so the only new purchase was the 4x4 posts. With wood prices now I wouldn’t have any idea. If using recycled materials you could probably do it for under $200

with chicken pens you should dig down a few inches in the ground were the tin is to help keep varmints out and chickens in

How do you get a wood post in the ground without cementing it?

The post were put in with a post hole digger. If you put them down at least 10inches will keep them steady. As well as making sure the dirt is packed very well.
