@@TheArtofDoing I’m going to pick up lumber tomorrow to start on my coop, you’ve been an inspiration. I can’t wait to see all the add-ons. I will take pictures along the way to share. By the way, the green with white trim pops for sure.

[@billluneau]

Once you were passing the string through I figured out what you had going on!

[@TheArtofDoing]

Nice work! I figured some people would have guessed. Thanks for watching!!

[@jeffreymarchand2799]

Great job! I figured out what you were doing with the string as soon as you passed it from the outside to the inside. Favorite comment, "how much chicken poop do I have on me". 🤣

[@TheArtofDoing]

Haha!!! Good job catching right on. Thanks again Jeff.!!!

[@Thewhiskeypour]

Soon as I saw the hinge I knew what you were doing. All the coop episodes have been good

[@TheArtofDoing]

Thanks Brian! When I saw your name I thought you would have known!!! Ps, I'm pretty sure I gave you a shout out a few videos ago...

[@Thewhiskeypour]

@@TheArtofDoing pretty sure you did! Thanks for that

[@delorissanders9507]

I brought the kreg pocket hole maker but I couldn’t use it the instructions weren’t great. I was going to take it back to Lowe’s. Then I watched your video and now I’m a master at making pocket holes……almost. Thank you.

[@TheArtofDoing]

Im so happy that I could help! As you've probably seen, I use it a lot. I really appreciate you reaching out to me!!! Keep practicing!

[@beeparadise1742]

Wow, what a coop! I really appreciate you showing where you made errors and how you fixed them. I'm curious about why you made it so tall inside? When I had chickens in the NW I built a small 4'x6' deep litter coop for my 7 chickens. I used a method of keeping the coop very ventilated-- lots of vents along the top and a big window that was hardware cloth. I kept their feeders in the coop (made the feeders from PVC tubes so I could cap them at night to deter rats), and I used pine shavings for the litter. I put down linoleum on the floor so I could easily sweep out the litter with a rake. In the run I used for litter anything that came from the garden, including grass clippings and leaves, weeds, straw, etc. The whole thing worked great, the chickens were happy and healthy and there was no smell of chicken poop (our neighbors were close). I really enjoyed watching your build and hope that you are loving your coop! :)

[@TheArtofDoing]

Thank you so much! So many videos make things seem too easy. Since im not seem expert, I wanted a true to life build. It sounds like we had some similar designs in our coops. Have you seen my pvc feeder episode yet? As for the height, I wanted 6' on the inside of the run at the lowest, 8' wide and enough slope on the roof for the snow to want to slide off. Originally I had a steeper slope in mind but I trimmed it down so I could use 10 foot boards! Thanks for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it!!!!

[@beeparadise1742]

@@TheArtofDoing I didn't see your PVC feeder episode, but it sounds like we ran across a lot of the same tutorials when planning our coops :) I found your video about using a Kreg jig and then clicked on your chicken coop videos because I've been thinking about getting chickens again. I don't know if you ever found this resource, but somewhere there is a great old article written a long time ago (I want to say in the 1940's) by a chicken expert at a university about how the things that plague most chickens in captivity have to do with being in a coop without enough ventilation and them getting respiratory diseases. He said that in the wild chickens roost in trees, so they basically just need shelter from some wind and rain, but they need a lot of air movement even in the dead of winter. We think chickens need to be warm in winter in a closed up coop, but that's not true at all. Thanks for your videos. I know how hard and tiring it is to build a chicken coop, and you did a great job! Happy chicken-ing!

[@TheArtofDoing]

I haven't read that article but my design is built on those principals... my feeder episode just came out a few weeks ago... thanks again, I hope you do end up getting back into chicken keeping! Cheers!!!
