Chicken egg box/ nesting box. Most Epic DIY Chicken Coop Build Part 7.

[@imari2305]

That's the most upscale egg/nesting box build I've ever seen. Your chickens are going to be brooding in style lol. Thanks for sharing it really turned out great.

[@TheArtofDoing]

That's awesome to hear!!! I am trying to make it as nice as I know how. Thanks for the support!

[@dezinicky9477]

Thank you for going over the roofing. I’m at the roofing on my coop and I couldn’t find a simple video to show me how to do it.

[@TheArtofDoing]

Oh thank you so much! That's exactly why I wanted to make the video. Thanks for subscribing too!

[@michelletieri8813]

Very nice job, glad to see I'm not the only one that over builds and doesn't have all the right tools, but still makes it look good!

[@TheArtofDoing]

Thank you. Yes, I'm still adding tools to my collection but usually AFTER ive needed it for something. Haha, I'm a chronic over builder. Thanks for watching! I hope to hear from you again sometime!

[@gregorybarber1679]

Great video. I appreciate you not editing out the mistakes. I am in the middle of a coop build and have made a few mess ups along the way. I had a plan in my head but it did not work out exactly like the picture in my head. I made a few minor adjustments to make things work, and I am almost finished with it.

[@TheArtofDoing]

Id love to see it when it's done! Thanks for the feedback, sometimes you can learn more from mistakes. Thanks for watching!!!

Guday mate from Down Under. It looks like you need a Router to help you to cut rebates. It's also far safer than a circular saw and much more accurate. I am building an A frame coop about 9 feet wide on all sides. The exterior laying boxes will be similar to yours but connected to the vertical end wall differently. I like the 'A' frame design as it is so very strong in a cyclone and very easy to construct.

[@TheArtofDoing]

Yes, I bought a router after the fact once I knew what I was missing!!! I'm curious how you are going to attach your egg boxes! Thanks for taking the time to comment!!!

[@brandon87ize]

Man the first video you said I’m not a carpenter! Well.... maybe you should change your profession because it looks good to me!

[@TheArtofDoing]

Thanks so much Brandon! Im definately not a carpenter and im buying the tools as I go but I'm putting my money where my mouth is with 'trying new things'! I'm trying my best to be a carpenter for this project! Thanks for the support and the kind words!!!

[@brandon87ize]

Absolutely man! I’m actually building a coop now for my chiks. Enjoyed the video series and good luck with Future endeavors.

[@TheArtofDoing]

Excellent! Good luck with your project and stay tuned, this coop is far from finished...

[@-justin-4077]

Great video series! Gonna build my wife a chicken coop this year. One suggestion for that odd side shape framing, just build it out of a piece 3/4” plywood. Trace out your shape and cut. No difficult angles. It will be plenty strong enough.

[@TheArtofDoing]

That's a good idea!!! Thanks for watching and have fun with your build!

[@-justin-4077]

@@TheArtofDoing thanks! Yeah I’m getting started on my own this weekend

[@TheArtofDoing]

The build is such a fun part! Id love to see what you're progress looks like! Enjoy!

[@billluneau]

Great job even without all the right tools!

[@TheArtofDoing]

Thanks Bill Luneau! Ive bought I few tools just for this job!!! Thanks for watching!

[@sunmoonandpaws8266]

Holy crap absolutely amazing work!!!

[@TheArtofDoing]

Thank you Suraya! You didn't think it was going to be THIS epic did you? Wait until you see the rest of the build coming up!!! Thanks for watching!

[@jorgiabell2398]

Very nice. Thanks for the video and ideas.

[@TheArtofDoing]

Thanks Jorgia Bell! I finish the inside in the interior episode. Thanks for watching!

[@tonyc8627]

Nice hammering skills.

[@TheArtofDoing]

Thanks Tony C. I got in a lot of practice doing the roof video for this project! Thanks for commenting and for the support!!!

[@shanesmaineshop]

It is really coming together.

[@TheArtofDoing]

That's kind of what I feel. It finally sends like something here!!!

[@GregLopez75]

This design idea made way better sense than other videos I've seen. Great idea, thanks for sharing. Cheers from Dallas, TX.

[@TheArtofDoing]

You are very welcome! I appreciate the kind words. If you want to share I'd love to see pics when you're done! Keep practicing!!!

[@rollinggreenmonster]

go inside screw a 4-inch screw in each corner go outside and use a chalk line and make your lines cut hole set your blade to 3/4 of an inch so you don't hit 2x4s

[@TheArtofDoing]

Yup. That was a battle. I wish I did that better. Thanks for watching!

[@youtubes5304]

Really great series so far! Pretty dam epic!!!

[@TheArtofDoing]

Thanks, I really appreciate it. I know I set a high bar so I'm trying to deliver. Thanks for tuning in!!!

[@RayRamos052569]

It’s really looking good. Impressive how to taking shape

[@TheArtofDoing]

Is it crazy how much I can't wait for everyone to see it finished?

[@mandyleeson1]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@TheArtofDoing]

You are VERY welcome Mandy! Thank YOU for the comment and for watching!!!

[@shadyfieldhomestead1974]

I built my roof to my coop and nails were showing through and I used cork on the nails. However, what should I do with the nails that could potentially show through on the nesting box? I can't really use corks for the nesting box nails. The wood for nesting box lid is about 3/4" thick.

[@TheArtofDoing]

Good question! My coop roof is so high that it isn't an issue. Im going to go look at my egg box and see how far the egg box roof nails stick through. If you're worried about you or your birds getting poked, you could bend them back over by hammering them sideways or you could cut off the tips. Thanks for stopping by, I love the questions!

[@lourenzellers7705]

Did you put the floor in the coop in this video or a different one?

[@TheArtofDoing]

The floor went in on the first episode of this build.

[@lourenzellers7705]

Sorry I meant the floor to the nest box. When did you install it? Love your videos and coop! They have been a huge help during our coop build!

[@TheArtofDoing]

Sorry! I decided against the nest box floor for that episode. It's going to be in the episode of the coop interior. Coming soon!

[@TheArtofDoing]

And thanks for watching!!!

[@TheArtofDoing]

I just brought new chicks into the coop today and I'm just sitting down to read your whole comment. Thank you so much! Im really happy that ive helped in some way on your own coop build!!! I'd love to see your coop if you want to share. I might put together a montage of coops that people have shared with me. Im so glad to have been a help!!! Keep practicing!

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Where's the next one on the coop build????

[@TheArtofDoing]

Hi Loren! It's not released yet. Part 8 comes out this week. Thanks for watching!!!

[@TheArtofDoing]

Hi Loren! Part 8 is out. Let me know what you think?

[@rollinggreenmonster]

That flashing looks awful calk the seam with clear silicone caulk and then put a 1x4 on it Done

[@TheArtofDoing]

I know!!! The chaulk is definately happening but do you mean put the 1x over the seam where the flashing goes into the coop? I think I like that idea!
