THE CHICKEN COOP. Expanding Again. How to make the cage door.

[@deborahrob5859]

I just found this channel, I love this, simple instructions and beautiful scenery. Love the snow videos, I have subscribed so I can go back and watch the videos I have missed.

[@doylerabjohn3435]

I know it's a old video..... That's a great coop design, especially if you have different breeds you don't want interbreeding. Great teaching.

[@rezyness]

I need to expand my coops. Thanks for the ideas on the doors

[@HAFFT1ME]

I like that you not only show the "how" but you explain the "why" as well. Good video Joe. Hopefully you are as thorough when you finally tackle your cabin project. I know there are a lot of viewers who appreciate the time you put in to sharing your experiences.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

+HAFFT1ME Thank you for the nice comment. When I do the new cabin I will for sure be doing videos on it. I like it when people ask to know a certain thing so I can explain that because if I explained everything I think the people would find the video long and boring. I always struggle with that because if I myself watch my video and want to click through it I know everyone else is going to be bored.

[@henryrodgers3409]

+NorthernSeclusion Don't worry about your vids being boring because they are not . Long vids are great because you go into detail in how you do things which is one of the reasons why I like watching your vids . Your construction videos help a lot of people and give us some great ideas . I hate it when people build things and don't show how they did it . Long with details is the way to go Joe . Nice job you did there .

Great Coop! Thank you for sharing your videos! Great tutorials!

Nice multicoop. We are in the planning stages for several portable multicoops for breeding.

[@TheMrJoeMac]

You are a hard working man. The chicken pin looks great.

[@arthakro4965]

I'm just a Kid and watching u inspired me to make my chicken coop larger

[@brandi4560]

Thanks for breaking down the right way to measure the door! This is really going to help me :)

[@linblake7004]

I am a complete novice with wood and a drill. Thank you for making it so comprehensive :-) Fellow chicken fan from England

[@michaellohre1470]

Nice coop and clear instructions. I might add a latch for the door on the bottom or mid bottom as well. I have found that if predator wants in they test the bottom of a door pretty severely. Especially racoons. I have latches top and bottom and don't use bottom one in daytime but do when I put the birds to bed at night.

[@jksatte]

You explained that so well I think even I can do it and I have never even touched a saw thingy. Nice job. Janice

Thank you for showing us how you're making your setup, Joe. My husband is making our brooder box this weekend for 20 standard Cochin chicks coming from MurrayMcmurray on May 6th. The next job (which I'm researching on KZbin) will be the coop, automatic feeder & waterer, and whatever else we'll need for when they're older. My main concern is the coyote population; based on all the howling I hear from time to time (& yipping puppies a couple months ago), I'd say we have quite a few & they're close.

[@cocoloco1956]

Great video! Healthy chickens!

[@billiehuskins8129]

You make it look so easy

[@jefferybublitz7968]

Hey neighbor, have you considered th rolling henhouse, that has 2 Axles? This henhouse is built light weight enough, that 2 people can push it around, through th pastor. Th chickens will eat all grasses down to th ground, & then you can move it to another location, to keep th good flavored eggs coming in.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

We just let ours free range during the summer days but the chicken tractors do work well when free range is not an option.

[@tommywilliams5450]

great video Joe God bless have a super day

Wow Joe you make that look so easy but I think I can do it I was a good little student and wrote down measurements, of course I will most likely watch this video a few more times lol you need to live close to me so I can just have you build it for me lol thank you again Joe, the coops are awesome !

[@NorthernSeclusion]

+Lori cook Thank you Lori.The doors are not that hard to do they are just a pain in the butt because there are so many little things to do before its finished. Just keep it nice and square and you should be fine.

Hello from TURKEY 👋🏻👋🏻 nice video 👏🏻

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Thank You.

[@jacksonkristoff903]

Wow joe, you can build very good chicken coops, me and my dad are soon going to build one for our chickens, that nice treated wood will never go bad:)

[@NorthernSeclusion]

+jackson kristoff The treated lumber will last a very very long time, you have to deal with some warping but if you build the whole structure in a short amount of time vs taking a month to build the whole thing once its all tied together the warping is minimal and you have a life long coop. Thanks Jackson. Joe

[@jacksonkristoff903]

[@LivingForJesusMennoniteMom]

I'm hoping you get this message. I'm looking for chicken coop plans and was wondering if you have a vid of your coop start and how you add on? Very nice!!

[@NorthernSeclusion]

I never really made a plan. Since I have been in construction my whole life, I can just make the list of materials up in my head quite easily. Thank you for the nice comment but all you can really do is watch the video and try and make a sketch. Each sheet of plywood is 4 feet wide. I try and make projects like this measurements end in even numbers so you do not have much waste and less cutting.

[@LivingForJesusMennoniteMom]

@@NorthernSeclusion THANK YOU!! I kept looking and found the coop build. Knowing these measurements helps greatly! Thank you!!!

[@DarrenCharron]

Wow that is awesome and gives me some great instruction as I am just starting to build my chicken coop I live up in Manitoba Canada and have 6 chickens and live out in the Riding Mountain area North west of Winnipeg. I look forward to watching more of your videos and thank you for posting.

I still say Melissa is a lucky gal to have such a good hard working man. Is there anything you "can't" do? Love your videos. Oh, have you tried Lowe's?

[@NorthernSeclusion]

+Peggy Trammell Thank you Peggy for the nice comment. We do go to Lowes but I usually do not buy lumber there because its a farther drive.

[@Braz1956]

I love this style of coop, let's you extend it as your flock grows. My wife is wanting chickens and I'm wanting to try quail. A coop like this with 2 sections would be great to get us started. What are the dimensions at the ground for each of your sections?

[@NorthernSeclusion]

+Braz1956 If you watch this video of when I did the original cage build (you may have already watched this one) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJnag6ernt2Fr6c The two end cages are 8 feet wide and 12 feet deep (actually I stayed a couple inches shy of that on the width and about 6 inches shy of that on the depth so the metal roofing would work even with the 1 foot roof slope) The two middle cages are 4 feet wide each and the same depth. The two newer cage I built this winter on the left side is of course the same depth but 5 feet wide. I did that width so it would follow code and not stick beyond the front of the house. The cage you see in this video is the same size so it would match. Always remember when building something (unless you have setbacks to worry about) that lumber comes in 2 foot increments so if you are thinking on building a 7 foot wide cage you will still be paying for an 8 foot wide cage since you can not buy 7 foot lumber. This is especially true when buying plywood etc where its always 4 foot wide. Also with the metal roofing, it comes 26.5 inches wide but that is because it must overlap one another, so it truly only covers 2 foot. Again its in 2 foot increments. Thank you, I hope that is what you were asking for. Joe

[@lilbitatatime3763]

Wow! Real impressive Coop. Great job!

Do you find a benefit in the triangle door supports vs the door supports that fit into the frame of the door from hinge bottom side to top non-hinge side?

[@MichaelMcbratney]

1/2 hardware cloth keeps the snakes out better than chicken wire...just say'n...

[@dnngskn62]

Really nice village of coops that you are building. Can house many chickens.

[@atrevionplays3406]

Hello, I just retired from the Army and I live in Minnesota. I could really use some help with questions I have about keeping chickens in the winter. How do you keep the water from freezing, and how do you keep your coop warm enough? thanks in advance.

[@pattiehagan6954]

I like your video! Do you have to worry about predators? I see people using wire fabric vs chicken wire because of weasels, opossums, etc.

[@craigsmeyer]

what kind of staples are you using to secure the wire to the coop and door? Thanks in advance. The door instructions were very helpful and informative.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

They are just the little 3/4 inch wire staples.

The problem with warping won't be any problem if the lumber is properly dried out. And are the plywood treated as well?

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Yes, everything is treated lumber.

[@MarcSa]

[@melhowell2906]

Joe thanks for sharing,you done a great job showing this,I didnt know you had isbar can you tell me a bit about them,and do you ship the baby chick, and what else do you have in your chickens breeds

[@NorthernSeclusion]

We can not ship and I would have to ask Melissa on all the breeds. The isbar males are the meanest roosters I have ever dealt with, they love to fight with the other roosters and are relentless on mating with the females. So much so that some of the hens get hurt.

[@melhowell2906]

@@NorthernSeclusion Oh wow so maybe if i do get them i just want hens are another breed, so if you can let me know the better breed i would thank you so much, have a great day

[@mawpatti]

Why don't you guys put a load of lime stone shells or something like that in front of the cages so there isn't so much mud to walk in all the time? great video again! thanks for sharing! :-)

[@123tanners]

How's the cost of lumber and supplies down south compared to MN?

[@NorthernSeclusion]

+123tanners I really see no difference in lumber costs. I bought everything at Home Depot and its the same as far as I can tell to the MN prices. What I miss is the fact that they have no Menards down here. Menards is always cheaper than Home Depot and I prefer to shop there but down south there are none to be found.

[@KyleenDrake]

Nice job, easy to follow. But I'd be worried someone or something would bump that coop, the door would latch, and I'd be locked inside the coop, lol.. That latch on the top that just slips down.. Nope.. Just inviting Murphy's Law to have a bit of fun with you. hehehe

I would put one more brace in the middle of your door that will help with warping

Are the screws you're using torx? If so, do you prefer to use them over others?

[@NorthernSeclusion]

+Alastair Ingram The screws I use are Deckmate #9 x 2 1/2, and then same thing in inch and a quarter for the plywood. They work pretty good. The one thing I look for when buying screws is that it has the star drive and not a phillips or even the square head. The star drive in the size T-25 cant be beat. Thank you. Joe
