[@RoseThistleArtworks]

I love it. I think they would appreciate a 2x4 up high for a perch at night.

[@TheKiltedKraut]

@Haxman Dude...or should I say Brother...you don't have any contact info in your about section. How's a fellow Brother supposed to get in contact with ya? Seriously...you're a riot! We need to chat.

Thumbs down. clickbait. It's a guineafowl coop. 😂

[@johnd4270]

I would like the plants I will buy the plants tell me where I can get the plants I wanna build that

[@randdmoore1]

Love that you are passing the skills on to your daughters. Great work dad.

[@HAXMAN]

Thank you!

[@ranaedownard-wooden857]

my Dad had no boys so he taught me everything because living on a farm/feedlot/ranch there was a lot of work. Your Daughters will be able to build or do everything. Their husbands will thank U😜 There was nothing better than work ing beside my Dad❣

[@JesiDavisBuildingaSimplerLife]

Seriously, humor, education, entertainment, integrity, family values, and more…. How do we tell HGTV (or insert preferred channel here) that they NEED YOU!

[@HAXMAN]

So kind of you! Thanks!

[@thopkins2271]

To be fair…don’t wish that upon him. They’ll ruin what he does. Instead, figure out ways to support independent creators and cut the bloated creativity destroyers out of it. We have no time constraints. He builds what he wants. He sells what he wants. No producers telling him to say things in different ways. This is better. I support the notion that we wish the maximum success to him, and I agree. But I think the modern platform is not television. Hell, I haven’t paid for cable in over a decade.

@@thopkins2271 true, I didn’t think of the negative, I meant it as a compliment. And yes KZbin is the new TV, it’s free, that’s why we take advantage of it, and we are free to choose what we create! ❤️

Hey man just wanna drop in and thank you, I'm an army vet and I've been getting into building and homestead/ prepping and self sustain . Your channel is awesome and u have a great attitude, I'm learning a lot thank you

Thank you for your service sir/ma’am hope you have fun on this new life of homesteading you’re doing 😊🫡.

[@crustydownunder]

I'm a painter by trade, automotive to be honest. (but I've been painting houses for 30 years). I wrap my rollers and brushes in plastic cling wrap (nice and tight), and they stay nice and fresh. If you're going to leave them any length of time, like a week, throw them in the fridge. Works like a charm, and cling wrap is so cheap.

[@s.wilson5199]

I learned this long ago as well. Since my projects are DIY, I don't necessarily get to finish immediately. Doing this has saved lots of brushes and rollers over the years! Plus, cleaning rollers properly is a pain! The fewer times I need to do it, the better!!

[@s.wilson5199]

👍👍👍👍👍👍 Every time I watch one of your videos, I want to hit the like button repeatedly! As a girl who took woodshop rather than home economics, many moons ago, I can attest that being comfortable and SAFE using power tools is a gift. Modeling creating your own solutions for your children is priceless!💗 Having a father and grandfather who demonstrated this to me has paid huge dividends in my adult life! (When I haven't done the work myself, I know enough to keep contractors who think a woman won't know the correct way to do a job honest. Unfortunately, this skill has been needed far too often.)

[@HAXMAN]

Thank you so much

[@lonnietaylor2759]

I think it's wonderful that U also have your family helping in your builds.😲😁😃🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Absolutely. This is my second video but not my last for the night.

[@thesevenacrefamily]

Yup, I’m copying this build. I’ve build three permanent coops for our chickens and my wife’s silkie chickens and we are going to be adding meat birds to our list this coming year and need a good chicken tractor design. This is by far the best I’ve ran across. Appreciate the detail here. We love our guineas and they can be loud but man they are fun to watch. Crazy birds

[@faysalibrahim6757]

Just discovered this channel and it has cured my boredom. THANK YOU

[@5stepkitties]

[@radioman321]

The comment about how you’re raising your girls won the sub. Loved it. I was holding my breath watching them with their hair down around rotating power tools. Something to keep in mind… Awesome channel.

[@mrgice3]

Love this guy, absolutely hilarious!

[@keegansmom2008]

I love the way you are including your children! This definitely looks like you did your research. I'm not sure you mention it later or not but I recently found out that you should not house guineas kn the same coop as chickens.

[@sarahk.6474]

I would love to build this in our backyard our last coop had a break in and we lost our girls. Is this design or schematics listed/available anywhere or even just the list of materials? How many 2×4s etc?

[@jms9057]

Entertaining video, and a nice design. Caveat to anyone looking to take a shortcut and reduce the height: you'll hate every second you have to be in there. I inherited an A-frame coop, and even at only 5 foot 4, I can't stand up in it. It's actually painful to try to work in there. Fortunately, we're building something different in a few days!

[@resourcefulgirl]

I'm marathon watching and just subscribed to Kim's channel. I'm moving to my homestead in 32 days!!!!! Yay! I'm getting chickens soon too.

[@alanesterline2310]

Great build and as others have said it is great the way you are including your wife and girls. The girls will be more self confident as they grow up and do more things like building the coop. We lived on a small ranch, 60 acres, in Eastern Oklahoma for several years and had all kinds of ticks. We started doing this after my Father and I worked fence one day and each had 30+ ticks each embedded around our belt line. It might be a little extreme for where you are but two things that we did to prevent the ticks from getting to us really worked. We wore boots and bloused are pants. We would also sprinkle our boots with sulfur. It might be an idea for when you are working in really tall grass.

[@patriciarobinson4267]

Outstanding crazy guy ! Always be on the lookout for those copper rattleheaded moccasins.. they will make great boots though. 💛💚🧡👍🙏👏🐓

[@nooboftheyear7170]

Hmm, might want to look into ways of trapping them since he has live bait now to see if anything is faesible. Might qualify for build it and they will come (not sure how the ladies are going to view that though...) Still... might just be a matter of how it is presented, like something that may happen, to be reseàrched and choosing a solution - life lesson owned by everyone might work

[@TeamAtterz]

You are brilliant dude and its great to see you teaching the kids these things. Ticks are horrid things.

[@HAXMAN]

Thanks Ed! Was there a hamburger cam? 😉 I see what you did there. You sir, are a wordsmith.

[@rogerlose]

Haxman you have an amazing channel please don't change the way you do your videos, I've turned so many people on to your channel so far. Just as a side note you could put some clips on the bottom side of the of the chicken coop to hold/store those steel pipes you use to lift it. That way they're always on the chicken coop and you don't lose them in your garage.

[@HAXMAN]

Thank you so much! And thanks for the tip!

Ty for this build. I love how you get everyone involved. What's the update on this coop and how its holding up? How is it with predators? Have you had any issues with mink or small predators? Y'all are in Florida right? Do you have issues with large predators? I know your sister has the guinea fowl now but did you notice if they helped with the ticks? Have you ever considered ducks with your chickens? And or a guard goose?

Make sure to explain Butthurt to your young ladies. I was raised like your daughters and I've had to deal with a lot of Butthurt. A saying of mine, "I need to find a man who's more of a "man" than I am." I finally found him! I do know more about construction, bushcraft, electrical, plumbing, etc. than he does, however, he's military and is well versed in the capabilities of women and is not bothered/intimidated by it. In fact, he's the first partner I've had that actually likes to learn from me so he can work on projects as well. It's so refreshing to not have to deal with hurt feelings when I'm trying to get shit done!

[@flatlinesup]

Tick-flicking is actually a serious multi-level league sport in Arkansas. The tournaments extend from local elementary schools all the way thru divisional held at the respective county fairs and then the Illustrious Arkansas Tick Flicking State Championship (IATFSC tm). Teams of 3 go against 3 other teams in 3 minute rounds in a 30 foot triangular tall grass field. There are also 3 judges and medics on hand as well to do it all proper.

[@kuddleluv]

Also sprinkling diatomaceous earth near the areas you sit and inside and around the coops especially their nesting areas will help. Even making an essential oil blend and putting in a hose sprayer would help too. At least both ways are organic.
