If you are interested in hearing more about our chickens please let us know and we can post more content. This is a little outside of my NORMAL solar panel and battery content ...but still falls within being self-reliant and emergency preparedness. Backyard chickens are a great way to have a reliable source of fresh eggs and also teaches our children responsibility. We LOVE our chickens!

I grew up with a flock of almost 50 birds, we used to sell our eggs to local restaurants and bakeries. They more than paid for themselves and it was a lot of fun herding them around the yard / green belt we had. I think every family should have a few birds if they have the space, it's a fun family experience and home grown eggs are infinitely better than store bought

[@jacebarton7426]

That’s a myth😂even before 2023. But you are right, for sure not a myth after 2023!!!🤣🤦🏽‍♂️Honestly even if you are paying 0.10¢ extra per dozen to keep chickens and have your own eggs, I’d rather do that than eat store bought eggs that have steroids and are bleached…

[@tordlindgren2123]

Ey, this is a good example of working smarter. Its a good setup.

[@94hkd]

The best backyard coop I have ever seen

[@dawndotson6269]

This is my favorite coop by far and I’ve looked at hundreds. I love everything about it including the waterers and feeders plus the nesting boxes.

[@Jasonoid]

I did a ton of research and coop stalking haha....I put all those ideas together to build this one. It's been great, I'm not sure we would change anything either after almost 1.5 years

[@karendunn8055]

I agree very nice coop and run...good job guys!

[@mikemurawski8112]

Agreed, everything is planned out and has simplicity matched by genius

[@kayte13]

Me too

[@pedropereira8924]

Very nice, thanks for sharing this so nice 💡

[@krisjordan2815]

Just stopping by to say thank you for sharing this. It inspired me to build mine very similarly. Not much experience here, so the guidance you gave in this video was enough to get me started.

[@credenza1]

Great coop. The "water in the nest boxes" is a common issue. By putting a strip of vinyl on the wall above the lid and coming down over the lid the water will run off before entering the nest at all.

[@roxyie1122]

Every house needs a gutter system, even the chicken house!

[@promansplainor5245]

You might want to sell your plans. Also, a baby monitor in the hen house, plugged up to power, with the listening part in your bedroom is very soothing and alerts if a predator gets in there, so you can go out and let the air out of that fox or coon.

[@phuongvo3051]

This is the best chicken coop , the vinyl help their poop won’t damage the wood , great idea , I love your channel ,

[@CoushattaL]

I love that you actually talk in this video. I keep looking for videos of people's chicken coops but it's all just time lapse and no one talking. Your coop is so cute! The toys idea is great, I definitely am going to do that.

[@realthoughts6952]

I am an absolute neat freak! I was so nervous that the chickens would destroy my beautiful backyard! But I see you still have your grass and it looks great! Thank you for showing us how you can be clean with chickens! I guess I have to get busy building a coop now!

[@SunshineCountryChickens]

Hows it going do you have chickens now?Great video thanks for the info! 🌸 🌼 🌻 🌞 🐤 🐣 🐥

[@realthoughts6952]

@@SunshineCountryChickens Yes I have chickens now as of 3 months ago. I have Rhode Island Reds and Silver Laced Wyandots. The first two places I moved the coop to, they ate my grass up. I placed sod in those areas to replace the grass. I now let them out early in the morning. This prevents the balding of my grass, but they poop all over the place. In two months I will get a large chicken run to contain them to one large area. They love roaming free in my back yard! I still have about 4 weeks to go before they start laying eggs. They get so big so fast!

[@jefflunt9615]

By the way, I should have also mentioned, you have a lovely family. All the best to you and yours.

[@paulsherwood5862]

That's the way family is to be caring and sharing.

[@mariobros753]

Chicken egss may cost the same due to feed and watering of chicke ns but no lie ... at least you know what your eating.

[@angelaforsyth1092]

I love your coop. I have been doing youtube research lol, as I would love to have some chickens. The one thing I learned that you may not have seen is that chickens like round roosts as their feet naturally curve. so possibly tree branches may be comfier for them.

[@connieroddy6175]

LOVED the video especially you explaining everything you did...you gave your reasons "why" and the "solutions".

[@Jasonoid]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@larag4646]

Nice coop! I'm building a new one and love to see what others do. I used construction sand (aka river sand-not play sand) inside the coop and in the run. It would dry the poop quick so it never stunk. Then I could scoop out poop kitty litter style and never had to replace the sand. It also helps keep their nails filed down and their feet exfoliated. And since chickens are more sensitive to heat than cold, in the summer (110+), I'd wet down a corner and they loved to lay there to cool off. In the winter, the cold sand never bothered them and they had roosting spots to get out of it if they needed it but never did. Then I like to use a shredder and run junk mail through it for nesting material. Never run out of that. 🤣

[@nestorivan112]

I love the thought and consideration for your animals. Definitely love every idea you guys had about the coop and it’s honestly amazing. Chickens will change the world! Lol

[@r4ng3rownz8]

You thought of everything for this coop great job!

[@Formerlywarmer]

Very nice setup. Getting started on one this weekend and been watching videos for tips. Thanks buddy

[@barbaraengle768]

That's exactly what we were thinking about,thanks for great idea on food &waterer

[@eileenhawkins1474]

I really like your coop and your nesting boxes are a great idea.

[@jerrybowen1635]

[@bmiller1958]

This is a great video. Saving it for future reference when I build mine. Thank you!

[@blacksinglemomhomesteadont6454]

Very nice job on the video and great coop and run. Your family looks very happy and the chickens look well loved

[@pamelafucci5065]

Excellent coop!! Great feed, water ideas!!

[@baraboo-nb7hv]

You guys seem like the old school family. A family how it was designed from the start to be. Lately ive watched some videos on betrayals and how families fall apart for the stupidiest reasons and just cant but wish you guys heavenly happiness, uncoditional love, unearthy faithfulness and just over all blessings. Makes me happy to see a traditional family just living life in harmony.

[@mississippiqueen5056]

All of the mess is really good fertilizer.

[@thesamedison]

Spacious, Beautiful and well organized. Your chickens are really happy ♥

[@richardweyland116]

This looks great! I'm glad I saw this before making a new coop and run.

[@litealite]

I love your chicken coop . I am so happy for your family .

[@LeoGoogle-ch4hx]

Great ideas and it's really enjoy your design of chicken coop

[@ClauJos]

Fun video and nice to see your lovely family. Would like to see more of your emergency preparedness ideas.

[@rockyhartline4642]

Wow - great job, great ideas and fabulous presentation. Thanks for sharing!

[@coinacopia2168]

I have been watching chicken videos for some time and scoping out coops. Yours is my favorite! This is great, clean, beautiful, simple. LOVE IT!

[@LoraCreates]

Your coop has so many great ideas for ease of use and cleaning. Thank you for sharing!

[@MamaTandMrBill]

I love this. Lots of very practical ideas

[@justgopherit3454]

I LOVE this coop build! It's not overly complicated, and everything is very functional. Thanks for the vid.

[@rjackson64840]

really nice. thanks for sharing. you guys did an awesome job on your setup. very well thought out and well executed.

[@richardkeith6822]

Ya'll have done an awesome job building your coop and the waterers and feeders, excellent ideas! God bless y'all and stay safe!👍

[@lindab.6245]

Excellent video! Very interesting and helpful. Thank you!

[@therealliquidfairy]

Mind blown by the organization so very Marie Kondo 🙌👏👏👏

[@maryjanecano8883]

I like the plan..Looks like a plan will make. Thanks for all suggestions.

[@umustbbornagainActs2-38]

Very nicely done. Definitely one of my favorites so far. Wish i'd seen this before i built my coop!

[@vash123451]

This chicken coop is so perfect! ♥️

[@janeirvine8391]

This is the best chicken setup I've seen so far. Informative. Thank you for posting this. I've subscribed. Blessings, health, prosperity and peace to you and yours and to all who read this! 😘👍😇💖

[@frankieroberson3398]

Awesome, great design, you need to market this one; brilliant, can't wait to share with my neighbor

[@briant2259]

Cool Coop, I like the PVC feeder and water can ideas! friends have chickens I'm sending them this video. 🐔

[@therealliquidfairy]

Love this so much! Doing my homework to get one started! 😍

[@bonnieblue1792]

Great job with your coop! I like that you incorporated “toys” to keep your birds engaged. I saw a coop where the owner made a rustic little swing out of ropes and a thick tree branch. It looked super cute and his birds apparently love sitting on it.

[@Bioluvskatz]

Nice job explaining everything

[@jeffladd1146]

Great video! I’ve been contemplating building a coop for our backyard but the more I looked into having chickens the more overwhelming it seemed. This really simplified it all, thank you!

[@ogj5]

That's super cute. Your whole video. Informative, and also as a chicken man, I applaud this. There are very few wrong ways, and many right ones when it comes to chickens. This is awesome.

[@daveclark1904]

Great build and beautiful yard man! I'm about half way thru building my first coup. It's actually pretty much the same as yours but you've given me some good ideas for everything else! Thanks for the video!

[@Ryan-xv3kc]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and this video. Cheers.

[@justman77.21]

I liked your approach to the arrangement of the chicken coop. It is noticeable how well you and your hens are doing, as well as a lot of approving comments from the audience about this design of the chicken coop.

[@truthandlove0]

I have seen many coop videos at this point, and this one is absolutely simple, straightforward, and well thought out. Excellent base to start, thank you, good work.

[@isabelladavis1363]

Impressive with really well thought out ideas…looks so clean and orderly…love the predator proof outer design with the stones and drain design…aren’t too many predators that want to dig in stone!

[@krisy-in-italy]

Perfect little coop for suburban chicken raising. So glad to see that one can also have a nice lawn. Most videos show just devastation wherever the chickens have been. I’m going to steal your coop ideas as I have space for maybe 4 and a grandson who will be very happy.

[@cynthiabourgeois5113]

I absolutely love your coop! I’ve had chickens in the past. I’m feeling peckish again! I had Buff Orpingtons. They are a beautiful bird. Your chickens are happy and healthy. Great job all around.

[@bassdee10]

Great job on the coop thumbs 👍 up.

[@Jkitty7599]

This is a great setup, and good ideas. I am doing research on getting about 4 chickens. This is just how I want mines to be. Thanks.🙌

[@teresaburnette3778]

Love how you did your chicken coop you use common sense and that's very rare today

[@kurabachewabiyu5502]

Thank you for helpful video, I am from Ethiopia!

[@antonykariuki235]

simple, smart coop.. the best i've so far seen. great information too.. thank you from Kenya

[@michiganmotorsports]

Best coop build I've seen.

[@maryquitecontrary5126]

Really like your feeder and waterer. Great job.

[@robertboyd3898]

Your Chicken coop is just beautiful and your feeding methods is outstanding Congratulations 🎈🎉🎊

[@Debtfreehomesteaders]

Very clean setup. Great vIdeo. Very informative. Thank you. -Will

[@TroyCooperVegas]

That is a great way to teach young ones :) I grew up in a small town and I learned a lot of things, that this new generation will never understand. ;)

[@trinareeves4767]

very nice set up! And your hens are beautiful!

[@carrieandretti]

You have your chicken coop working real great! Thanks for the tips & tricks. I especially like the PVC feeders. I enjoyed your video. Good job!!

[@RevLetaLee]

Of all of the plans and utube examples I've seen, this is the most well done coop and run I've seen. You really thought it out in advance. Mine isn't working for me and I have not built things like this before. I hope to take some tips from this and build something better than what I have which is really not working this winter to keep the run dry. Thanks for sharing it. Well done.

[@mirsphoto]

Nice video, Just a tip around the laying area where you have put the bottle with you small DIY gutter, you can add 25mm pvc pipe at the bottom of the bottle and make it drain out side the coup, you won't need to keep draing the bottle yourself again.

[@gf401]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skill, wish I can make a similar one in my yard..

[@fludrbywest3886]

I like your feeders and run area❣️thanks forsharing❤

[@user-dt9sj3en3d]

Good job and beautiful family.

[@terrygheta993]

Great ideas thank you so much for sharing I am in the process of building my chicken coop .I love your ideas keep up the good work thanks again for showing us your talents

[@alliehunter9896]

I dream of having chickens..love your setup..and your girl's..so mild and calm..❤

[@Purinelz]

Gotta say man you guys did a good job with a chicken co-op I like it DIY you're gonna do a great job thanks for the video appreciate it give me some great ideas good luck

[@enjoythejourney5302]

Thanks for the tour, I enjoyed learning the tips and agree with the benefits of the backyard coop. Chicken dust bathing is definitely something I didn't realize but enjoyable to watch, kind of like children playing in a sandbox.

[@Jasonoid]

It is pretty enjoyable to watch them roll around in the dirt. Then the dust cloud poof when the get up and shake it all off LOL

[@jaypeerobot3745]

Tbh, most animals by nature roll around in the dirt, It helps keep them clean.

[@DQKotaK]

Beautiful backyard setup!

[@kevinmckenzie8685]

Great video! I picked up a lot of tricks I’m going to use on my coop.

[@rinacraig7307]

What a lovely well thought out coop!!! And yes the chickens love human company & actually make wonderfull pets. These chickens have fallen with their bums in the butter for sure!! You've really thought of everything. Blessings from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@Shananana99]

This is great you gave me some tips for my coop! Thanks!!
