It’s FINISHED! The ULTIMATE CHICKEN COOP Run for Our OFF-GRID Homestead

[@cathiwim]

Gina, I think you are coming in to your own as a videographer! Love the nature you show!

[@drillsgtlangdon]

I absolutely agree with you!

[@Gladtobeleaving]

With so many KZbinrs quitting for the holidays, or because of accidents, or boat building delays, its great to be able to rely on seeing you all do your daily projects, and build that farm. Thanks for your reliability!

[@beppywall7464]

I have been watching you for years and I must say I have enjoyed ALL your projects! THANKS SO MUCH! I do miss seeing Olivia though. Keep up the good work!

[@LumnahAcres]

@@beppywall7464 it’s not about the cold it’s about keeping the draft off of them.

[@patriciafuchs5970]

Loved every minute of this. You truly think about everything in terms of the safety and comfort of your animals. It’s a bonus that this building is very aesthetically pleasing. Gina, your videography is stellar! Huge pat on the. Back for you. Al, you can never have too many puppies !!!

[@kestrelle5345]

I wonder if you've every done anything half-arsed, Al? I sincerely doubt it. That is not only a superior hen house, but the back of the building is very handsome as well.

[@dapacathomeca8232]

I had to chuckle when the chickens went through their new door to their chicken run. They looked impressed. May you be blessed with a lot of eggs for their beautiful addition .👏 👏

[@davidgetchell3633]

A good "cold" morning Gina, Al, Brutus, Chickens and all the Lumnah family &friends. The hens were so happy with their new run, they had to lay their eggs in it ! As I'm typing I am seeing the VIEWS COUNT going UP&UP, another GREAT VIDEO !!

[@michaelbrausch8874]

Drill a small finger hole in the slider window in the coop for ease of opening and closing!

[@michaeldeighan8294]

Brutus is a great doggy. He deserves a Mrs. or at least a buddy to chase Coyote’s.😊❤

[@cathiwim]

I thought he was neutered?

[@erwinaddison2030]

Yes! Brutus needs a wife and puppies😊

[@RCMServices]

Al, a suggestion. For the step up at the door why don't you make a panel that goes down to the concrete that is removable to aid when cleaning out the chicken run?

[@LumnahAcres]

[@margaretbedwell3211]

It would be nice for Brutus to have a wife. He would definitely father calm beautiful pups. I'm sorry you haven't been able to camp out or go skiing or snow shoeing yet. Maybe on your next snow day, you will just have to drop things and go do it. Thanks for sharing this build. It looks great and your chickens are definitely happy with it. Have a Blessed day.

[@davidgetchell3633]

Good day Margaret. Maybe it's good not to have a lot of snow, I haven't see Al fix the broken track for the Can-Am so they can run in the deep snow.

[@terriaburch9420]

That building is so well built it will last forever. Gina, I love your videos of your property. Well done.

[@brokenmeats5928]

[@johnthomas5806]

Thanks Gina and Al, it is a pleasure to watch you piece things together..

[@TXNLaurenMcN]

..."so you want to have the breeze above them... " The only problem I can see with that is one of physics; cold air falls and warm air rises. The cold air will come in the windows and immediately sink to where the chickens are. They can go in the coup proper to get warm, but that will only help at night when the door is shut. I still think they'll be fine and you did an excellent job on the chicken coup and run.

[@wandaschmidt4046]

Nothing like spoiled chickens!! Great job you 2.

[@ruthanderson1758]

I think you should have made the door full length and when you need a lip to keep chicks in, you could just attach a board across the bottom - that would make it much easier for you and Gina to get in/out of the coop as well as for cleaning it out.

[@kenbroster9721]

Good morning from UK - we have snow too!! I think the chickens will love their new run - laid eggs already - very happy.

[@robertkolesar6381]

Goodmorning Al and Gina, I live across the border in canada with about the same weather conditions as you and if I were you I would install a ceiling in that chicken stall to stop the cold from getting in or to trap some of the heat from your heat lights from getting out. At my farm we have to block all the small holes to stop birds and sqirals from getting in and making a mess or eating the food or even worse killing the children's.

I'd still put a heat lamp or 2 in the run, (free power) because as you know Al, cold air sinks. The auto door into the coop will give the birds the option to escape the draft.

Good morning Lumnah family from a cloudy Minnesota but 10F above zero morning. Good morning viewers. We look similar here since most of our 5 inches of snow has melted too. I like the comment Gina made about the speed square! It's all the tools. The short wall looks good. That's good that you're putting power into these barn extension areas. Fern is investigating a lot in this video. So cute. I'm glad you could run your electrical across above the rafters with the clearance you had from the purlins. Cute how you had an egg sitting there when you cut the door for them to the other room. The box around the hole and trim looks great! That was fun seeing the first chicken go through. I like the flap door! Nice job guys! Thanks for this video Lumnah family! The last little part with Al behind the hard cloth was hilarious! The music was great for that part too! I love your jokester ways!

[@bruceadler-9410]

The gap made the purlins isn't wide enough to satisfy the NEC code requirements for running wires next to a metal roof. He's created a safety hazard by doing that.

At 5:30 ... still surprised you don't have a more serious table saw, maybe even with some in/out surfaces. But at least not having to get on your knees to cut a board. :) BTW, nothing wrong with the DW saw itself (I have the same model) but you need to raise it.
