New Bantam Coop Design

[@Carlosgarcia-gv4iy]

Hey man these builds look great. We finally achieved our dream of buying a home last year and now i want to work on another dream which is to have a few chickens so we can get our own fresh eggs. I am in the planning stages and right now i am looking at coop videos. I am really liking your builds because the size is perfect for what i am looking for! I am in a city in florida where were only allowed 5 chickens BUT hey its better than nothing and should be enough for the 5 of us! Will keep watching your videos thank you!

[@thevaughnhomestead]

hey man that's awesome... did you see my other coop building video... it would probably be more efficient for 5 chickens unless your trying to separate them

[@Carlosgarcia-gv4iy]

@@thevaughnhomestead yup I saw one thats perfect for 5 chickens and I think its what i am going for. Currently making a list of materials i need!

[@snowwalker7619]

Nice design, great job putting those together.

[@thevaughnhomestead]

thanks I appreciate it, got to build a couple more before I'll be satisfied lol

[@novathao5322]

Looks really nice, sure wish building materials were more affordable for both you and I!

[@thevaughnhomestead]

thanks, and yea really, needs to go down a good bit, maybe with the election things will go down momentarily and we can take advantage lol

[@anthonydobija3669]

Might want to put a basket up high

[@thevaughnhomestead]

I collect eggs daily, so the nesting buckets are not actually intended for them to hatch eggs in, just lay in

[@lifeon77]

It’s the perfect coop design for the Bantam’s! 🐓 Great job baby! ❤️

[@thevaughnhomestead]

thanks baby 🥰

[@lifeon77]

You’re welcome baby! 😘

[@quailjailss]

Really nice design man

[@thevaughnhomestead]

thanks, I also have another video that shows how to build it if your interested check it out

[@MosaicHomestead]

It's a very interesting design, the only con I see is the sharp sheet metal going down to kid height, kids and sharp edges don't mix.

[@thevaughnhomestead]

Yea I’ve been trying to figure out some nice way of covering them without it looking ugly, but luckily we don’t have kids right now so no worries at the moment 😂

[@Tootnscoot]

​@@thevaughnhomesteadfoam pipe insulation. The black stuff. Just pops right on.

[@robertthomas8281]

Yes that what I thought to foam pipe insulation ( 1/2 inch would do😊

[@shanepetersen7004]

inside coop, vertical tin could cause a flying chicken toe to get stuck or broke, maybe rip a pine board to cover exposed tin edge. really like your coop design, good job.

[@thevaughnhomestead]

yea I see what your saying, and thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching

[@CorneliusMaximus69]

Love your design it’s the best one I’ve seen for bantams. Could you just list all the wood needed to make it . I could figure it out by the dimensions, trying to make one this weekend.

[@thevaughnhomestead]

20-2x4x8 5-2x4x12 (these make all the legs and boards connecting from top to bottom, just cut them at 63” which will make it 6’ tall

[@CorneliusMaximus69]

@@thevaughnhomestead Thank you! Are you making the tutorial on you build anytime soon? Thanks for the help, I appreciate it .

[@thevaughnhomestead]

@@CorneliusMaximus69 it’ll be a couple months before I build another one, but I’ll try to do a video explaining the build and all measurements in the next couple days and post it

[@CorneliusMaximus69]

Do you buy the metal sheets in sheets of 5 . If so where do you buy them ?

[@thevaughnhomestead]

@@CorneliusMaximus69 I buy the tin from Home Depot, they sell them in individual sheets, I buy 2- 8ft sheets for the back and 10- 6ft sheets which do the sides and roof and the pieces inside

[@brettmorgan3334]

Do you have a video of the new construction

[@thevaughnhomestead]

I don't at the moment, hoping to have one soon though

[@caucasiancuban6404]

I would love to build this design! If you could do a video I would greatly appreciate it!

[@thevaughnhomestead]

yes sir, ill try to do one in a few days when I'm off

[@thevaughnhomestead]

Hello sir theres a link in the description now for the how to build video

[@jonleone777]

How often do you change out the wood chips.

[@thevaughnhomestead]

about every 6 months

[@alphaditto]

Thank you for the effort. Can you give an estimate on the cost for this coop? Also, Do you get snow in winter?

[@thevaughnhomestead]

we do occasionally here in MS, and the coop cost around $450 to build, ill have a video of how to build it posted in next couple days

[@melaibatestil645]

Wow......😮 I like the design it's nice sir......😊 I'm your new subscriber sir watching from Philippines🇵🇭

[@thevaughnhomestead]
