I am new to raising Chickens, learning all I can before making the leap. My wife, and I are looking for our forever home in the country, with several acres of land. We plan to build a coop. with attached run. and I think if at all possible we will be getting one of the American Coops in 6 foot by 18 foot. I want to let you know the new rear coop doors are an awesome idea. Windows to let in day light, and they open from the bottom, swing up to allow airflow, and rain protection, plus you don't have to look for a place to store the removable door panels. I think your Chicken Coops, and Runs are the best kit out there for those of us looking for a quality Chicken forever home.

I use pine shavings under the straw because it helps absorb any moisture and if a chook breaks an egg in the nesting box, it also helps to minimise the mess. Pine shavings are also great for reducing the awful smell, and are great for making compost when you clean out the coop.

I have noticed when you are talking about litter and nesting materials you do not stress the need for using different materials. I have had chickens off and on for over 40 years. Now, I did not come up with on my own, but my Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles shared their experience with me. If you are using shavings for instance in the run, the reason you do not want it in the nest boxes, is that it confuses the girls. They do not see the difference as to the place, just the material. Therefore you will have a higher instance of eggs on the floor. This also is most important if you are free ranging your birds. Part of the reason for lower egg count when free ranging is the availability of the grass that they are browsing in, so they lay their eggs in that. At least this has been our experience. We use golden comets, a sex link because of their egg count, 280 to 320 plus per year. They are an extra large to jumbo brown egg. Because they lay so many eggs you need to keep oyster shell for calcium and cherry stone for grit, even if you are free ranging. For cleaning poly carbonate or plexiglass, SO NOT USE WINDEX OR ANY OTHER GLASS CLEANER WITH AMMONIA OR AMMONIA D. It will cloud the plastic and make it look foggy. Ammonia sort of melts the plastic to give it that look. We use vinegar and water for cleaning all windows. Works good for all types of stain removal too. I enjoy your videos greatly for info not only for the coops, but on birds too. You see even at 68 yrs old, I still keep learning from and sharing with others. God bless and keep up the fine work you are doing. Al Hough, Onawa, Iowa

There's that little bit of space between the framing and the doors, both swinging doors and drop down door. That little space could cause drafts. But I've noticed in more recent videos on the inside of the hen house, there seems to be plywood over the framing that produces a slightly extended lip or edge, about an inch. So when you close the doors that lip blocks the cracks and thus blocks drafts. Is this a change/upgrade you've made over time?

Hi Laurie, we don't recommend sand in the run for a few reasons. Chickens are woodland creatures and need their environment to mimic that, so they can dig, forage for bugs, and dust bathe. Also there are beneficial microbes in the soil that isn't there in sand. Secondly, there is no reason to have to clean your coop daily. We take all those chores out of chicken keeping. No one wants to scoop chicken poop every day. So to make it easy for the people and much more healthy and beneficial to chickens, ditch the sand, and put in dirt, leaves, grass clipping, wood chips, any natural, organic material you can find. Thanks for watching.

Hi Diana. Thank you for your comments, however, we respectfully disagree on all your points. No predator has gotten into our coops through the hardware cloth because we use quality strong gauge PVC coated wire. To your second point, chickens don't live naturally on the beach and sand doesn't promote beneficial microbes or harbor bugs that chickens need and want to eat. We also don't agree with the dropping boards, we like the deep litter system, which is easy and healthiest for your flock. Our methods make chicken keeping so much easier than what you are describing, and it makes for a healthy and safe flock.

@CarolinaCoopsVideos2 ай бұрын
Hey there, great question! We are not totally against pine shavings, but these are the main reasons we do not recommend pine shavings for our customers: We do not recommend pine shavings compared to our hemp because our hemp is MUCH more absorbent than pine shavings, making hemp the perfect material for the deep litter system. Pine shavings also tend to be more on the acidic side. By using pine shavings there will be much more maintenance and you will use more of it. Our hemp is actually cheaper in the long run plus saves you a lot of time. That said, pine shavings are a MUCH BETTER alternative compared to sand. So, if pine shavings are all you can afford at the moment, that is probably your best bet if you are using the deep litter method! I hope this answered your question!

Hi Allat, we have been in the chicken business for over a decade and we have researched what chickens need extensively. Chickens naturally would roost in the trees, so it makes sense that chickens would want a rounded roost bar.

In addition, we do not feel that a 6x12 coop with a 4x6 henhouse is small for chickens. We also always encourage free ranging. Thank you for watching.

Красиво! Но все очень дорого. Когда окупится постройка и любимые птицы будут приносить доход? Или это реклама для продажи домика и ролика?

I think a hanging chain would be better than those dowe rods which give to much leverage to the window, high winds could damage the hinges maybe?

We have coops with both, so far neither one has reported a problem from winds, but you make a valid point. Thanks for your comments and for watching

@@CarolinaCoopsVideos And if you really wanted to upgrade your nest boxes then check out the slanted design that the eggs roll into a bin so they don't eat them.. But great video, i'd say chicken coups are going to be popular this year

At about 22:26, Matt says you could double your flock in that coop very easily, but then gets distracted and never says how. Lol. How would that be done? I love the American coop but I have a strong feeling I’ll have more than 12 birds eventually. :-)

Tai Nunez yes sorry I didn’t get into details about how to best introduce more hens to her existing flock but the point I was making to her is that at the time of video she had 6 hens and that there was room in her new coop to add another 6 hens for a total of 12. How to do that is another story. Thanks for watching.
