Cluckingham Palace Part 1, I built a Chicken Coop!

I built a Chicken Coop and I'm calling it Cluckingham Palace. This is a custom built structure that wraps around a tree in my backyard. It matches the farmhouse style and color scheme of the workshop.

Cluckingham Palace is a total chick magnet! Great job!!

[@andrecosta8679]

This is the type of content I like to watch on your channel.

[@paulflood6503]

If you're not following Bens Instagram, you're missing out, he pretty much did hourly updates of this coop

[@c.a.g.1977]

Have not even finished watching but had to let you know: the end result looks sweeeeettt!!!

[@marybethduke3263]

Cluckingham Palace - too funny! Chicks are so cute! And what a palace they have!!! Can't imagine boss lady wanting to buy a pre-fab when she has a Ben around! She was probably trying to challenge you to make something wonderful. Looking awesome, dude! Can't wait to see the finished product! Love the technical difficulties!

[@BenTardif]

Seems like her motivation was to rush me to start building it 🤣

[@smsunday1]

Love your 4-legged helpers!

[@slep1654]

During the voice overs I just imagine him sitting in that little room in his workshop. Great video!

[@benives254]

Later, the boss lady wants another floor on the house, a basement dug and a space station overhead.

[@Marine-wj4jv]

Always check with the boss lady first! Saves time and energy!

[@tjesse]

You crushed it!

[@whatif8408]

Yay! The chicken coop build! You are so amazingly thorough on every detail.

[@michellemullins6741]

Boss Lady, you chose well. LOL

[@hatsukotaro]

It was so satisfying when you cut perfect notches into the rafters and fitted them

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

Outstanding!!

[@realtordryogihaynes]

My goodness, what a chicken coop? So much detail and experience 👏👏👏

[@tfellison2324]

I like the design

[@DumbfoundedMadman]

Looking great. I love the time and cost inclusion. I feel this is more important to include than many realize.

[@amyhoff1501]

I’ve been dreaming of owning chickens for a long time, my husband is not on board , you are a strong young man and very handy, love 💕 your puppies

[@cameronfok5529]

Production quality thru the roof

[@reanie1985]

Cluckingham Palace 😂😎 cool

[@AbdicateDotNet]

Awesome Video as usual!! 👏👏✨It's so great to see how you can do so much alone. I can barely cut a straight line alone! 🤣😁 Doofie is a great soccer guard!👍👍😎😷

[@Donnie9by5]

Cant say enough about your skills for building planning and execution! All this for just six chickens!

[@BenTardif]

Only the best for those little ladies!

[@iamwhoiamd7056]

I love this kind of video too. Awesome content.

[@dougsmith548]

Very nice very nice, I envy you your skills and imagination. Take care stay safe 🇨🇦

[@perpetualgrimace]

This rules! It's like an extra tiny house.

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Very very nice coop!

[@austinherb1337]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE LETS GOOOOOOO

[@nw6gmp]

Internet: Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Ben: Cluckingham Palace 😂😂

[@suziemack7269]

Been waiting for this 👏

[@jackier.9391]

Now I'm embarrassed for the chicken coop we build for our chickens. Je,je... You did a great job 👏on the coop and the name it's just perfect.

[@rmfyiffa]

Amazing! Great videos! Blessings... :)

[@neobaggins3718]

Heh. I’m about 85% finished with building a chicken tractor I designed. We’ve got plenty of space so I decided to go mobile and not have to deal with a fixed coop with a dirt floor. Let the hens run weed and insect control and fertilize. Wood prices are insane. Project should’ve cost $200-300, but I stopped counting at like $700. Also, you should check out a Kreg pocket hole jig. I’ve got the new model and a little portable one you can clamp in place. Both are invaluable and make strong joints so much easier.

[@Gus0046]

Buen vídeo y buen trabajo. Te felicito. Un saludo.

[@MegaNazwauzytkownika]

I love it.

[@paulieabeles2149]

Wow. I’m in awe. I can’t believe how you just worked this out on the fly! You are so talented. Amazing use of space. Beautiful design. Friendly helpers. Thanks for sharing! P.s. would it be possible to put plexiglass over door for light-instead of wood?

[@joelhoeksema]

Watching you unload all that lumber made me sick! 💰💰 such crazy prices!

[@MisterTee2010]

Building a chicken coop and keeping the dogs entertained. You had your hands full. lol

[@garbagegamers5278]

Me and my family are currently building a chicken coop. Ours cost about $1,200. Cute chicks

[@resurrectionmotors2421]

Catchy name for the coop, I know things went easy with the help of them puppies hahaha God bless

[@susanmcgee4673]

Your awesome 😎

[@lynjermey6423]

Always impresses me how you cut long straight cuts freehand!

[@BenTardif]

Slow and steady!

[@PalmettoCraftworks]

Ben I love your coop. It is one of the nicest I have seen. The L-shape really makes it stand out and also your attention to detail. By any chance do you have plans for your design?

[@gergage6]

You need an automatic ball thrower :)

[@DarkDioStudio]

Lumber prices are insane. Habitat restore is the place to go

[@DaddyHaxTV]

Pedant checking in. "On the up and up" doesn't mean rising. It means that something is legitimate.

[@jolonandrade2793]

“Next I added wiring so that I can connect the chickens 52 OLED tv” looks good.

[@MR619Can]

Ben with the current lumber market, one would need a mortgage for a coop like that!!! LOL

[@nusba]

I'm telling you, you need to build an authomatic throwing ball machine for the dogs...

[@BenTardif]

Then I’ll be out of a job!

[@miketaicee8570]

Wow. Cluckingham, nod to the uk 🇬🇧 😉

[@woodworksbygrampies1284]

Looking really, really good! Can't wait to see your next installment of this project. Are you going to be composting in the run? Aside from the fresh eggs, this is another benefit of housing those ladies :)

[@jamiegleave7620]

Every job I do, the wife comes in part way through and starts adjusting the agreed plan.

[@robb0995]

Try sketchup to show her the plan really clearly. Then maybe she can see different ideas earlier. Learning that software was a game changer for my own project prep too

[@Vaeltis]

with the dogs running around all the time and just how much wood cutting is done, I hope a good vaccuum or dust extractor is high on the priority list for things to get. Don't want to yourself or the dogs to be breathing in so much saw dust.

[@luismadrigalvargas]

The dogs lol

[@AH-vs1cu]

Owww que lindo le construire uno para mis pollitos :D saludos de Perú🇵🇪🤗🤗

[@BunderChowed]

Very nice pluckingham calace…sorry I suffer from spoonerism.

[@CasproGaming]

I wish I would have projects to do like this I usually just edit videos

[@victorsteinfeld2582]

Here in germany the chickens can go outside at day. I hope you will let them out too because this coop isnt big

[@jmert_5859]

You should add ball throws to your hours and money spent count.

[@hunterofendermen367]

I'm curious, what kind of screws do you use for the strong ties @11:14? I ask bc every time I use screws for the strong ties they are either too big or too small. I can't seem to find the right size screw for those strong tie holes... Love the gable roof btw. I'm gonna do a gambrel roof for my 10x20 workshop. Not looking forward to adding the plywood by myself, or even with my friend's help lol

[@BenTardif]

They’re just regular exterior screws. Here, they’re either 1 1/4 or 1 5/8 inch long screws. I think generally you’re supposed to use nails with strong ties but I made a few executive decisions during this build.

[@havendressage]

At 1:19 - off topic but, what is the breed of that bantam? The little brown one? We got that one too from tractor supply but they didn't know what breed it was. Thanks in advance! Also, unbelievably beautiful chicken coop!

[@erwinruff01]

your neighbours will love you xD

[@BenTardif]

Especially when I bring them fresh eggs! 🐣

[@nintendolunchbox]

Here do the marbles go? ;)

[@jonathanjones691]

ive lost cost was it 5 material runs for this part 1 ? did you include the material runs in your time tally??

[@andrewbeck917]

Are you worried about the wood rotting out on the concrete slab?

[@BenTardif]

The wood that’s in direct contact with the concrete is meant for this type of situation. If I ever do need to swap it out, there is a process to do that. Wouldn’t be easy but definitely possible. Though I don’t anticipate that could be an issue for a very long time

[@andrewbeck917]

@@BenTardif Are you putting anything else on it or is it just a regular pressure treated board? I have had pressure treated boards split or rot on me still.

[@mordecaiburgess5912]

imagine being able to do a muscle up and using that ability to build a chicken coop😂

[@Voidroamer]

Dang, do you really make enough money from your website to support all of this? I gotta get me an Amazon store..

[@teresabutler9191]

In September we are going to look for a house a lot of land so I can have my check. I was wondering if you can come to Ohio and make me one I'll give you money in.

[@markraisner9000]

What happened to the Florida marble build?

[@carstenk2552]

Wood prices are crazy nower days, so seeing you using whole boards and sheets mostly and not not using the offcuts hurts a little bit. The build looks totally beautyful, but I hope you use the offcuts in the rest of the build. Keep up the good work.

[@StuartCuthbertson]

If nothing else I suspect the offcuts will be used in a future marble machine 🙂

[@BenTardif]

Lumber is solid gold nowadays. I don’t throw anything away

[@Photonutubia]

The coop is attached to the ground with gravity?

[@tcarney57]

Gravity is free, and it's relentless.

[@annashepard6337]

Doggos want to help

[@vimala43]

How much for this coop?!

[@vishweshmanjaramkar3506]

that's a lot of wood for 6 chicken.

[@MrTwotee]

Habit for humanity could use someone with your skills

[@Andicar]

You didn't finish the coop and never mentioned the total cost of all materials. What kind of wood did you use? You actually made it look even more complicated than what really is.

[@BabyBatMouse8]

I wanna know who the boss lady is. 🤔

[@petranilla14]

When the video began with Cluckingham Palace already built I called you bad names in my head. I should have trusted that you would take us along on the build journey. Me so sorry!!

[@sconner1453]

So pretty, and sad it will all be covered in poop in a week.

[@vaggelistoubos3451]

This comparison is soo degrading to the chicks. At least they're laying eggs, what are the royals doing? 😭😭😭

[@susanmcgee4673]

Your awesome 😎
