Chicken Coop Goat Shelter Part 7: Adding the Second Story

[@BigFarles]

Can we please get this man a clothing sponsor?

[@SSLFamilyMom]

Seriously!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@tmackie1694]

Yes, agree! ARIAT, where are you?

[@joycemastaw910]

What a sweet helper. Your girls have been such good helpers, even mama God blessed you with a great family

[@noradunagan1545]

Love to see your precious daughter working along side you, she is adorable!

[@jewdd1989]

I’m loving this process of stone and now the wood comes in… neat, unique and it’ll last you your lifetime if not longer. That’s a ton of chickens and goats, or whatever else fits in there. You’ve done a great job

[@greenwoodsbushhogging6704]

Man you could put a fire place and a TV in that mansion. I'm also glad to see it's not just my daughter that "helps" me work on stuff. I think they enjoy annoying dad when we're trying to work. 😂

[@greypoet2]

Love the appropriate bible verse at the end. Wondering about a heat lamp for winter, don't want frozen chickens. Be blessed.

[@TheJenniferouellette]

I love watching the progress! It's coming along great! It's too cute seeing the precious memories you create with your kiddo. I chuckled when she said here the mayonnaise because I know you like it. How sweet!

[@ourmidwestlife]

You have an instruction reader that brings lunch!! She’s a keeper!!

[@selador11]

That deck is probably perfect for the chickens just the way it is.

[@LionofJudah-1]

Look great brother , love the bible verse at the end of tje video . God bless

[@salmonhunter7414]

It looks fantastic !!!! Very well done.

[@tmackie1694]

Aloha, Todd. Santa needs to bring you a battery operated framing nailer for Christmas 😉 The new goat shelter/chicken coop is looking good! PS - Love the picnic lunch on the disco dance platform! 😀

[@SSLFamilyMom]

That’s a good Christmas idea for him! When he read your comment, he said, amen to the nailer! ☺️

[@d.j.robinson9424]

That is looking so awesome, Great job so far. Maybe consider a door if you haven't already, to be able to get in, scoop out and spread straw.. can't wait to see what's next.👍👍💚🐓🐓

[@remushaynes2693]

greetings sir; your daughter is an original. take a gander at her socks! she cracks me up but keeps me watching. all jokes aside, she is precious.............................g

[@barnieb1961]

I love the two or three ‘practice’ jumps before actually committing! 🤣🤣

[@SSLFamilyDad]

Lol, getting old man!

[@Meglenger]

You can get it in a tube to fix those seems between the walls and the concrete. A lot faster less messy.

[@bradbusch9585]

Use caulking instead of mortar on the cracks the mortar will keep cracking great job 👏

[@kimhay5185]

That is so cool, I’m in Ontario and it gets cold here too, I’ve lined my laying box with 1inch foam board and it helps the eggs not freeze, just have to cover the parts the chicken can peck,,they love foam for some reason😒 anyway just enough to line your egg holding area should work! We just got our first snow, but I new it was coming and put up a huge tarp over my coop build,lol great channel, thanks for the ideas! Have a great day everyone!

[@danchauvin9896]

By far, the sturdiest chicken coop I've ever seen. Tornado proof! Lol

[@rhondajheim]

Nice! Thank You. Blessings!

[@Linda-td8hj]

Looking good ....such a wonderful helper so thoughtful....with help n snacks ...lovely family

[@Yutani_Crayven]

Hen Gear. There's brands for chickens now. That's amazing.

[@maxinedurling3425]

The Goats are going to love the deck

[@HeartofaHandyman]

Swinging the 🔨 today 😁 Looking good ♥️👨‍🔧

[@kylancook3477]

The flooring is GOLD, that is the same stuff we used in ours and it makes clean up sooo nice. Definitely make the chicken deck covered enough to be dry in the rain and from snow.

[@randysilvers3738]

Nice. Looking forward to seeing the end result 👍

[@aminarezk57]

Wow your farm trees are great like your family🤗

[@JL_10acres]

I have to admit I wasn’t a believer in the project until you got to the wood part of the structure. I was wrong! Now I see your concept and It really looks great!

[@dooleysmichiganhomestead8339]

Thumbs up from the Dooleys of Michigan

[@selador11]

Time thing caught me today, as well. Yes, it changed Sunday. It just caught me by surprise today, for some reason. LOL

[@graydonturner]

The training egg goes in the nest box side, not the egg collection side. We've got one of those and love it. Very clean eggs. We put pipe insulation along the bottom edge to prevent egg cracking.

[@takeitslowhomestead5218]

Very awesome! Thanks for the view from the side/front corner. I think your animals will love their new home.

[@musthavechannel5262]

Wow, this is coming together nicely. Looks great.

[@onedazinn998]

As usual it looks solid as a rock o.- and I'm sure they will love it...except if the chickens lay on a prickly rubber astro mat I'll eat my hat! lol Bet you find them laying in a corner o.- Great job & can't wait to see it finished :)

[@kirbygulbrandsen4507]

My suggestion is leave the door open until sunset. Because sometimes they will get spooked and they will run to the safety of the coop. That’s what I did with my chickens, I cross fenced 1 acre for them. I opened the door in the morning and closed it up at dark, they naturally go in at dark. ( dusk)

[@Yeshuaschosen]

I have a 6 foot stone foundation on my land I could make a chicken coop on.Thanks to your videos! I may just build one myself!Thanks!

[@SSLFamilyDad]

Go for it!

[@ericjohnson1008]

I like how this is turning out. Keep up the great work.

[@kirbygulbrandsen4507]

That’s how I do things, from what’s in my head and when I’m done people say oh now I see what you’re doing. Good Job !

[@richardgreen5602]

With weather changes and settling suggest pliable caulking rather than more mortar!

[@meanwhilebackonthehobbyfarm]

Looks great. Just in time for this weekends snow. You are blessed with such a great little helper.

[@paladin252]

Looks good. I’d screw the walls into those joists.

[@brendasas8440]

🐔VERY NICE !🐓The scrap linoleum looked like the perfect size to put on the roosting bars. It really helps with cleaning those as apposed to cleaning bare wood. What is the bottom inside the cave for ? Maybe for the goats? Thanks for sharing..👍

[@SSLFamilyMom]

Yes! Goats on the bottom and chickens on top! ☺️ thank you!!

[@Entropy-booster]

A pleasant surprise; I wasn't expecting another video on this just yet, but here it is. Nice job with the build! Looking forward to the next one.

[@SyberPrepper]

Looks great. Love the concept of the stone house and then the chickens on top. Maybe you could use some epoxy glue for the piece of concrete that fell off. That looks like it will continue to be a problem area.

[@KingBiscuit-iw9mu]

Ha. Love the socks!

[@JamesCouch777]

We've lost chickens to foxes in the middle of the day several times even with guard dogs. The problem was that the chicken yard was too far from the house. We have them closer now.

[@kirsten4896]

Also, we stopped shutting our mobile coop/chickshaw at night when we adopted our Pyrenees. She keeps everything away and I don't have to get out there at 6am to let chickens out. Would probably work with a stationary coop like yours too! Haven't smelled a skunk nearby since having her.

[@jaywill147]

Nice one 👍🏽💕

[@jaywill147]

Nice one 👍🏽

[@Yutani_Crayven]

05:51 Smooth

[@kirsten4896]

As if this wasn't cool enough, add a third level for the goats to climb up to play! 😂 Great idea you have here!

[@SSLFamilyMom]

That’s a great idea!

[@davep1445]

Nice work!

[@francineshea4723]

Nice job but please put in an L -shaped 2x2or 2x4 piece of wood to get birds off of the floor. 15-20 birds on the ground will be a lot . Any windows in the top? Need light and more ventilation than just the door. I love it so far

[@selador11]

Need some windows. Less light = less eggs. Maybe poly roofing?

[@PatricesProjects]

The coop/goat house is coming along! With how shallow the coop will be if you do an attic, where will the roosting bars go?

[@jimputnam2044]

Looks great.

[@WalkScripture]

Looking great!

[@pippaseaspirit4415]

Looks good!

[@trentencaskey7641]

Any worries that the eggs may freeze, since the section they'll be rolling to is not really insulated from the weather? Even if there's not snow on it, I'd imagine that metal could get extremely cold during your Michigan winters.

[@SSLFamilyMom]

There is a heated mat on its way that hasn’t been delivered yet, because you are correct!

[@HeyLightman]

You could have the chicken steps go up in the middle of the deck so they walk up through a doorway, goat proof.?

[@EngineersHomestead]

I built an 8'x8' walk in shed coop. Used cheapest storm door I could find. I decided to staple down my cheapo Menards linoleum to make replacement easier. Which door are you using? I'm having good luck with the Run Chicken model T50 off Amazon. I see alot of KZbinrs getting Omlet brand doors sponsored. I went with single slope roof with standard barn metal on top. Let me know if you want any pictures, I can share on FB.

[@SSLFamilyMom]

We would love to see your coop, please share on FB! ☺️

[@hollandduck79]

Hello from the Netherlands . if that's just a magnetic door in the nest box, could predators get in through there? . I think I would take the magnet off and put two latches on it . that is perhaps a little less easy for yourself, but at least you know that nothing can come in that is not allowed. Sincerely Hollandduck from the Netherlands

[@skrtskit1521]

It looks good. Will the outside portion of the nesting box water tight? Nice memory your daughter will have. 💖💖🐱‍👤🐱‍👤

[@debbiewelch4073]

[@paddycaseygsxr]

👍👍👍👍

[@kb6lcw99]

[@peterplacek5478]

Will the metal nest box get to cold in the winter for your chickens in Michigan

[@acornhomestead3575]

I was just thinking could you put the feed up there connected to an automatic feeder that feeds and waters inside the coop? Access from the short wall?

[@josephkrug8579]

You may have mentioned it somewhere and I missed it, but is the automatic chicken door tied to rfid leg bands on the chickens or just a timer? Years ago I saw a video where someone had a rfid cat collar and used that to make an automatic cat door, so it would be more work, but you could make an automatic chicken door possibly :) At least for going in, then once they were all in, you could have it time lock for the night or send you an alert that someone is not inside where they should be.

[@michellejaggard9657]

Can you tell me how much the nesting box is? And where to get one? I really like it. I only have 8 hens, it would be really perfect for me. Love that coop! I used your directions for your other coop and built one with just a very few modifications. I didn't put the egg boxes on yet but seeing this I think I like this.

[@salmonhunter7414]

Is it getting power?

[@SSLFamilyDad]

Future plan to trench it out there but will have an extension cord

[@judymckerrow6720]

The chickens are going to love their new home, but I don’t think you have the flooring straight Todd. JK 🌺💚🙃

[@barnieb1961]

I thought it looked a little crooked to Judy🤣

[@hoosierpioneer]

I would have an access door for humans. Never know when you need to go in to grab a chicken or predator

[@KingBiscuit-iw9mu]

Why not just use screws everywhere?

[@SSLFamilyDad]

Screws cost money:) I have a big coffee can filled with nails that someone gave me I’m trying to use up

[@BeardedSkunk]

Wait, give me a sec, don't need no calculator: 15 to 20 is ... more? .. than 2? Just trying to be smart, i m sure it makes sense somehow

[@gregbetts8057]

i didnt see prayers food about to be recieved , whether you cut it out or failed to do so , please dont cut out gods worship , big reason i watch your channel . thanks
