Building an awesome chicken coop! Part-2. Nest boxes & side doors, siding and more framework.

Chicken coop part 2. We show how we built the nest boxes and doors for the chicken house. More of the framework for the run part of the coop. Feeding earthworms to our babies for a treat! They are really growing fast! Starting on the board and batt siding.
Be sure and check out our videos of the log cabin we built using trees from our land!
If you would like to stay in our cabin go

If you are interested in gardening, learning to be more self-sufficient, or how we built a log cabin, please check out our other videos. We enjoy learning new things and sharing what we learn with others.

Love you guys so much. An amazing inspiration for me as i attempt to tackle a chicken coop that will eventually hold 12 chickens for my family :)

[@natureartgirl]

Have fun building it! Your timing is good since eggs are getting so expensive. We have enjoyed our girls. They are fun to watch 😊👍

[@garylcampbell9964]

Lance and Cinda are master builders. I really like the looks of the coup.

[@natureartgirl]

Thanks Gary! It sure looks better than the old shed next to it🤣🤣It is getting torn down next😁

This coop is amazing but how is no one talking about Mrs. Cinda’s YOUTH!? Holy cow, I hope I am as strong as you are in a few years! ❤

[@natureartgirl]

😂😂Thanks! Building a log cabin will definitely help get you in shape. The chicken house was easy by comparison 😊I’m definitely feeling the years though😁

Another fantastic step in this chicken coop build! The addition of the nest boxes, side doors, and siding is really coming together beautifully.

Howdy y’all- fantastic build on your chicken coop. I’m not gonna show this video to my chickens cause they’ll think I don’t love them. Great job 👍God bless

[@natureartgirl]

😂😂Yeah, Cinda wanted a pretty one and we had a pile of leftover logs to cut up, so we figured why not😁Good to hear from you. Take care! 😊

[@terrynida5787]

Great job on the coop - IMO this is the best chicken coop on the internet whether a commercial kit or custom design.

[@natureartgirl]

Thanks! We borrowed ideas from a lot of other people including Carolina coops. Then just put our own spin on it. We are really happy with it so far. Feel free to use it to do your own if you want😊👍

Such a beautiful coop Cinda and Lance . Obvious your chickens are going to be the most pampered most of us have ever had the privilege to watch grow up and produce. Can't wait for part 3. Thanks for taking the time to share. Best wishes, Deb

[@natureartgirl]

Thanks Deb! It’s part of our yard clean up project 😂😂We both tend to be hoarders, so it was nice to be able to use some of our leftover stuff to actually build something 😊Hope you enjoy your weekend 😊

[@texassportingclays7996]

Looking good! No one can ever say you guys didn't overbuild that coop...🙂

[@natureartgirl]

Yeah, it’s not going anywhere 😂😂

[@rosabel.y]

😃 My dad likes to overbuild as well...i think i see his thought process while watching you build this. Thought of every contingency. Oddly enough i grew up to be an interior designer who tries to think up ways to reduce material use without compromising structure integrity and aesthetics. Good job on the coop and the cabin! ❤

About sealing. The Hardie backer in itself doesn't need any kind of sealer what so ever. What I meant was any kind of sealing would be to protect the wood you mount it on. Such as around the edges of the walls and where you butt two Hardie backer on the floor. Use some decent silicon. Anyway just wanted to clarify that.

[@natureartgirl]

Ok, that makes sense! Thanks!😊

[@ceisele1080]

What are the heights of the walls? I thought you mentioned 8' in the front and 6' for the back wall. Great job. You two are a great team.

[@natureartgirl]

Front wall boards are 8’ and back wall is 6’8”. That gives you a 2 pitch roof. You could do it steeper if you live where there is a lot of snow. Thanks for watching!😊

I love your chicken coop. Do you have plans for it? I would love to build one like it.

[@arnaudalr]

hello , i like the design ! what is the size of the coop ? Please

[@natureartgirl]

It is 8 feet wide by 18 feet long. It would be just as easy to make it 20 feet long, but it would not fit in our space. 😊

[@kascarey5077]

This came to me last night…LOL….Margaret Hatcher

[@saraipaul7826]

Hi nice work, can I ask you how much your expend all materials together?

[@natureartgirl]

The 1/2” hardware cloth is on Amazon right now for $139. Black coated. That is enough to do everything except the predator apron around the bottom on the ground. We spent about $500 total, but that is only because we cut all our own wood on our sawmill and we had some salvage metal roofing that we got years ago at an auction. One of our main expenses was the stain. So if you buy the wood and roofing new, it would be considerably more. We may have detailed plans in the future, just haven’t had time to draw them up. 😊
