Love the roof overhang, super cute. I can imagine some rainbells coming off on the sides and some type of chicken friendly flower hanging basket.

[@BeckysHomestead]

Haha sounds nice☀️❤️☀️

[@wingsandbeaksbirder2312]

I just found your channel and discovered the doll that you are! What a breath of fresh air! Thank you for showing us your coop. We, as in I, are so excited about getting some chickens. Neither of us is handy, but I’m so impressed that you built your own cabin. If you can do that, surely I can build a coop. Thanks for the tips, encouragement,and creative ideas. Until your next vid, be well and safe.

[@MsArtistwannabe]

You look amazing. Homestead life suits you well. Love your new space. So green and lush looking.

[@maggiereese1053]

Your coop is almost identical to mine. I grew up on a chicken farm and my Grandma had chickens too, so I sat down to design my coop with a lot of experience to guide me. You did too. Funny how two people, experienced with chickens; came up with almost the same exact design! I did put a wood floor in mine and it is up on cinder block piers to get it off the ground. I simply cover the floor with hay and clean it out about every two weeks (good for the compost pile). Too many digging critters around here for a dirt floor. My birds sleep in the rafters and I use my Dad's old aluminum ladder for them to climb up. BTW Mine is 14 years old and still holding up perfectly.

When I got the crazy idea to get chickens back in February, your site was the first I ran into. I landed up buying black australorps based on your recommendation, they finally got shipped about 3 weeks ago and I'm hurriedly building the coop. I've got about 2 weeks tops before they'll be too big and will need to be in the coop! Wish me luck!

[@woodsie5796]

Nice coop, I have had the same idea about changing the coop i have. With roasts on one long side and the nesting boxes on authentic opposite, it much easier to clean. Blessings to all🥰

Awsome viedo I have 19 hens 2 roos that are french black copper marans. They will be laying soon. My coop is part of a 20x20 pavalian I portioned a 10x10 area for sleeping and laying quarters. Attached to front of still under pavillion is a 10x10 eating area next to that is a 10x10 food storage of 31 and 20 gallon cans for chicken food treats etc. The last part of pavilion next to chicken coop I have it boarded off with gate for my guard dog. Between dog coop and chicken coop attached to boards is hog panel on dog side then metal roofing in chicken coop side . On outside of chicken coop is 3 chicken runs attached together to make a 20 by 30 area to graze. Its divided into 3 sections with gates so they can only graze one 10x30 area at a time it gives time for grasses to grow back for grazing. Top of chicken runs is connected top rails for top support to secure welded wire to cover top. I used 3 dog kennels with extra gate panel and extra fence panel. The sides of kennels are surrounded by chicken wire then hog panels final then layer of welded wire. There is only one people gate opening and that's on the food storage side. I will also be adding dig guards inside primiter of the runs. I have had to battle raccoons, possums, cats, peacocks, coyotes, neighbors dogs, hogs, bob cats just to name a few including humans taking animal feed and chickens. Kinda almost for knox except bears dont know if it would hold up to bear or not

Never constantly this north in winter with constant ice that sometimes dint melt till past noon time slot of the time if it does create ice. I’ve shuffled over ice and hung on for life on my ramp many of times

Hey Becky thank you for the video and the coop looks nice I like it and I have a quick question for you when I get my property for the meanwhile I am going to buy a shipping container putting my food in it and myself in it too and put four windows in it and the square foam blocks I'm going to stick them to the wall with liquid nail so I don't think it should be a hot box once I do all that work to it because I know they are very warm

[@BeckysHomestead]

Shipping containers are for sure sturdy. I would say make sure some windows are egress windows. That is code. Always follow the building code. ☀️❤️☀️

[@sharoncunningham7550]

Did you put something underneath the coop to keep the varmits out? If you did could you send me a message on how you did that

[@maltipoosoffgrid6868]

That fencing you used over the windows is not predator proof. All of those holes up at the roof will let predators in. No floor and they will dig their way in, if you are going to use this as an example of a safe coop you need to address these problems and make another video when they have been corrected

[@BeckysHomestead]

It is predator proof for me. I give my people credit for being smart and making any adjustments they need for their Homestead☀️❤️☀️
