How To Build A Predator Proof Chicken Coop

[@randdmoore1]

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

Thank you!

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

@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. 😂

So kind of you! Thanks!

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! ❤️

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❣

[@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!!

[@diandanino877]

It’s awesome that you are teaching your daughters these important skills. You’re such a good dad!

Thanks!

[@87MookTV]

Where can I get the plans for this coop? I love this!

[@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

[@christined.3728]

I LOVE YOU! Your videos are great but your humor is even better. I've actually laughed several times out loud in some of your videos, its the accents you do. Content is also fabulous!

[@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

[@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!

[@uffeibsen8872]

I sure could use your help, i.e. advise! I am a disabled 74 year old man in poor health. In my late 20s I raised Rabbits and chickens for meat and eggs, Rhode Island Reds for Eggs and Cornish Cross for meat and California White Rabbits. Soon learned I couldn't deal with slaughtering the bunnies so gave that up. I built all of the hutches, and chicken coops but that was then back in Ohio and this is now in central Georgia. At the age of thirty I designed and constructed by MYSELF a 2 story modified salt box home on 3 acres of land I bought bordering Ohio's Wayne National Forest. I sorely miss those days when I always found a way to taken care of what ever needed taken care of by myself having to bother no one else. When my 65 140 hp 4sp Corsa Corvair clutch went out and my friend insisted on helping me he discovered a party he wanted to attend the friary after work when I came home with my new clutch. I jacked up the rear end, removed the rear wheels lowered the car down on my creeper having all ready removed the necessary bolts slid the creeper back a bit, jacked the car back up, slid out the engine and replaced the clutch. When Carl showed up the next day I was driving the car. These days it seem all I can accomplish is done in my dreams/. At any rate (I know lumber prices are out of sight these days) I really do need the chickens and am aware I am no longer capable of construycting a full sized 10 x12 foot enclosed coop but I might be able to put together one like yours in our oversized 2 car garage given a month or so. Any way if you could find the time to email a materials list and a basic drawing for me to attempt it I will be indebted to you as long ass I manage to remain in this wreck of a body. If you can't I will understand and bear no resentment as I still get to enjoy your videos and they do brighten up my days. sincerely Philip Wood [e-mail]

[@AuroraSinclair]

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!

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

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?

[@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.

[@swffej]

Haxman you missed your calling as an Arnold impersonator 😜Thanks for the video!!

[@Cottonpickin-mc2]

🤣🤣 Love the tick container! 🤣🤣

[@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]

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?
