Craftsman Gothic-Style Chicken Coop with Walk-in Run and Indoor Feed Hopper

[@skinnydog4]

That hopper area is amazing

[@melodyk3946]

I really like the idea of the clean out door inside the run. I think you should make it a design option. Great work!

[@CarolinaCoopsVideos]

Thank you. It seems to work well with these Craftsman coops.

[@melodyk3946]

@@CarolinaCoopsVideos I continue to be impressed with your coops. I have watched almost all of your videos. If I wanted an American coop, is it possible to offset the entrance for the chickens and install one large door with the clean out door underneath on the inside? Then have the double doors on the outside as usual?

[@blurbn]

Doubles as a wedding chapel!

Thanks for all theninfo- awesome!

Beautiful 🤗 love the hopper feeder and the drawers for storage and medical supplies

[@CarolinaCoopsVideos]

Thank you. You can never have too much storage for your chicken stuff.

[@cgg2961]

What a great video... Knowing you take your time in making them gives me a clue that the workmanship and customer service is above par as well ... Thank you !

[@CarolinaCoopsVideos]

Thank you for your kind words.

[@laurafedora5385]

This is so beautiful. I like the storage aspect, although I think I like your regular style where you have the back doors that are screened for better ventilation for the birds. But I would not complain if this showed up in my backyard! Those windows are out of this world. You are a talented craftsman, this is just beautiful, and you really know what chickens need to be happy! PS the chicken police people 😆

[@moonstruck8245]

What a stunning and practical design!

[@kristieingram2039]

I like the industrial hemp being user in the coop.... Chickens are finally getting the recognition they deserve as far as proper care goes... They face diseases and predators way too much and the whole design of these coops takes a lot of stress off of the chickens..... The hemp will be excellent for them also..... So beautiful and clever are these coops...

[@CarolinaCoopsVideos]

Thank you so much for your kind words Kristie, we do take into consideration the care and well being of the chickens when we design all our coops.

[@rachelhowe784]

Thank you for this video! Not only is the coop a beautiful work of art, your tour was incredibly informative and helpful for those of us who can't afford custom but want to make sure our chickens are as safe and happy as possible.

[@CarolinaCoopsVideos]

Thank you Rachel! That means so much to us, because it's why we do these videos.

Beautiful

[@CarolinaCoopsVideos]

Thank you.

[@sonofhibbs4425]

Yeah, according to chicken math, I’ll need/take 3. 😁 All joking aside, speaking from a decade of chicken keeping, this is a great design. For any newbies out there, definitely don’t skimp on anything that will make things easier on you. Just don’t forget the electricity hook up, people- if you live in an area that goes below freezing, you’ll be very happy you have it.

[@CarolinaCoopsVideos]

Thank you for your comments. We feel the same way, which is why we try to make things easier for people.

[@chrisvhs7994]

With something so beautiful yet functional like this coop, I’ll be thinking of breeding exotic chicken in them, where tourists can drop by and view the latest hybrid chickens I’ve produced. 🤣🤣🤣 🐥

[@victordankanych]

Rain water will get to the feeder. Everything else perfect 👌

[@horseystacey]

this is gorgeous! I may have missed it in the video, but how tall are the walls of this coop?

HAHAHA!!! Happy chicken with its baby snake mmmmmmm

I like your internal egg hutch best

[@ivi122]

Geez that must cost as much as a house lol, it’s so beautiful

[@testing2469]

I’ve been watching your videos for years. I’m someone who always believes there is a better way to do everything and you’ve amazed me as you’ve perfected these chicken coops over time. I thought they were great years ago but somehow they keep getting better. You’ve thought of everything! I’m curious if you’ve ever designed a coop with the egg collection on the inside room. That’s the only thing I can imagine adding on that would make it perfect in my mind.

[@CarolinaCoopsVideos]

First of all, thank you for being such a fan and for all the kind words. We do have coops with the egg collection on the inside. One was a shed/henhouse combo in Rhode Island. That egg hutch was inside the shed part: Custom Shed/Chicken Coop - Part 2: The Walk-Through. We also did one in Santa Fe. It was a very modern coop so we didn't have the egg hutch bump out. Although that lead to other considerations, like how to keep the birds from pooping on it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYu1dH6efqiBldU

[@skywonderly1768]

I want and need this exact gothic coop but I need it for 20 hens!!!

[@danrathbun8945]

You continue to blow me away. So do the people like this customer who are so passionate about something like this. I share the passion, not the budget. I do have a question to ask. We ordered a 6' x 12' American for April delivery and I wonder the best way to discuss preparing the site with you. We are straight across Lake Ontario from you so climate is similar. Thanks for another informative video.

[@CarolinaCoopsVideos]

Hi Dan. First of all, thank you for choosing us when you bought your chicken coop. You want to make sure your area is perfectly level where the coop sits. You may want to consider placing the coop so that it (or at least the henhouse) is out of the wind. Please call us anytime if you want further advice on site prep. Thanks for watching too.

15:43 it's gonna look amazing, because the entire thing will turn rusty? :D

[@usaroseinc]

Love the coop - Canton GA - I am in Alpharetta GA (next to Canton GA) and spent hours looking at you videos and others too - people love my coop and my deep litter cleanout - thanks for that idea CC. I have a video of my deep litter cleanout - I had to use sawdust as you guys were out of your hemp - I went 6 months and did a trial cleanout - not necessary at all. Friends have a big coop and have to clean daily and there is still a smell. No smell here. Thanks. can I post link to my youtube video?

[@PinkWillowRanch2024]

I just moved to Washington state and got a cabin in 5 acres. I have noticed a ton of wasp and bees up here have you seen and issues with them building nest in the higher points?

[@kayt4019]

what size is the actual henhouse? 4x8 or ?

[@michealdraconis6179]

For the roof designed to rust install rain gutters to catch the run off and channel it away from the water barrel

[@scuttles86]

Love that flooring! Is it linoleum or tile?

[@CarolinaCoopsVideos]

Thanks for the question! As Matt said in the video, it is tile.

[@robertcarullo4926]

these are fab coops. makes me want one. My question, when the chickens go in at night, is it pitch dark and if it is, how do they make it to the nest to lay eggs. and do they only lay eggs at night?

[@CarolinaCoopsVideos]

Chickens go up to roost at night at dusk. They do this instinctively. They lay eggs during the day and seek out the cozy nest box then. Thanks for your questions.

[@cgg2961]

How many chickens will this coop handle? It is one of my favorites that you make. You do beautiful work. What would this coop cost me? We are in Michigan.

My only question is with your new feeder bin if you have 12 chickens won’t the birds fight to get access to the feed trough

[@rickfarrell610]

photocell automatic door. Will the door occasionally close before all the chickens are inside the run?

[@CarolinaCoopsVideos]

it goes down very slowly and in most cases the chickens are inside before the door is triggered. But you can always set it to a time instead to be sure.

[@rickfarrell610]

@@CarolinaCoopsVideos thank you. Is it really a 9 month lead time?

[@CarolinaCoopsVideos]

@@rickfarrell610 Right now we are at about 5 months or so, but our new shop will be up and running soon, so that will cut down on the lead time considerably. Stay tuned.

[@rickfarrell610]

@@CarolinaCoopsVideos thank you for taking the time to respond to all my questions. Planning my coop now. Ttyl ✌🏻

[@moonstruck8245]

Would it make it easier/safer for the chickens, especially young chicks, to climb the ladder if you did some kind of textured paint or natural wood texturing or something on the ladder steps? Like that grippy stuff they put on ramps and such to help people not slip when it's wet?

[@CarolinaCoopsVideos]

Most chickens fly up half way then walk up the last few steps. We haven't had any complaints from customers about their chickens not being able to navigate the ladder. Young chicks wouldn't be in the run until they are fully feathered, and by then they just fly up to the top. Thanks for watching.

[@tommielourogers4327]

I love this coop. It is very similar to the 100 year old house that I am buying. Could you tell me a price range for some thing like this with all of the automatic food and water systems? But a normal metal roof and gutters would be fine. I want to put it into my budget. It will be in Greenbrier County, West Virginia. Thank you.

[@CarolinaCoopsVideos]

Hi Tommie, please email [e-mail] and ask this coop in your email (without this metal roofing). They will be able to give you a quote and range for you. Thank you.

What ever happened to this Shepard hook and eye bolt for the ladder? It's not on you current coops, right? Did you find problems with it or would you encourage customers to modify to it themselves?

Hi Bryce, in an effort to streamline the build process and get the coops out the door, we don't do that, but totally encourage people to attach it that way if you want to be able to easily remove it.

HOW HIGH ARE THE ROOST BAR FROM THE FLOOR OF THE COOP

[@thecoppoms]

Will the feeder attract mice?

[@CarolinaCoopsVideos]

What attracts mice is a place for them to have a warm dry place that is close to a preferred food source. So it’s debatable to say this exact design will attract mice more than other feeders. I don’t see how this style feeder can be any more or less attractive to rodents.

Why do chicken coops have 2 doors? . . . . . Because if they 4 doors, they would be chicken sedans!

[@tracy361361]

Not gothic enough.

[@3BigChins]

So he’s saying differently, but is it actually okay to dump the litter from the coop into the run for them to scratch around in? Because wouldn’t that make them susceptible to parasites?

[@3BigChins]

The roof is designed to rust to protect the metal? Does that even make sense?
