- In this video, I complete the build of the mobile chicken coop by adding the watering system. The system consists of rain collection from the roof to a 16 gallon storage tank inside. The tank then feeds the auto-filling bell waterer mounted on the outside of the coop.
Specialty Items I used for watering system:
1 1/2 Inch Bulkhead - amzn.to/3rS8hXE
Bulkhead Strainer - amzn.to/3rS80E6
16 Gallon Water Tank - amzn.to/2PPX5gZ

If algae becomes a problem in the tank, you could try running a strip of duct tape up the middle of the bottom of the tank before painting it. That should leave a smaller "window" for light to get in the tank while at the same time allowing you to see the water level.
Those will be some spoiled chickens !
Pipe hanging tape to support the PVC "Roost".
Zip tie an old piece of teeshirt over your vent pipe or mosquitos will fly in.
To keep out smaller gutter debris you can slip a sock over strainer. - Hopefully a washed sock. -KJ
I feel like I’m 10 years old again and playing in the creek! LOL
Good job! Always love the jackleg humor. 😉😜
Way to go Troy, this is really a cool system!
If you put RV levels on the front and side of the coop (making sure the coop is actually level before you apply them), you can quickly and easily level the coop every time you move it to a new location. Then, you will never have to worry about whether or not your drainage system is getting water. Great design and build BTW! That's the nicest (and best designed) chicken coop I've ever seen.
RV levels,am very sure, are quite insufficient for the task on probably 90% of Troy’s property.
@@bobcriss600 The kind of level I'm talking about is the little bubble levels that allow you to judge where level is. I seriously doubt there is anyplace on the property where he would park the coop that bubble levels wouldn't help in leveling the coop. He built the coop light enough that he can probably use shims of some sort to raise one side or the other to level the coop.
Very nice...... just leave a 1 inch wide strip unpainted on the water tank so you can see the level.
Awesome mobile coop!
Nice build. You mentioned a possibility of having to fill the tank yourself when rainwater is scarce... you could always dual-purpose the overflow vent as a manual filling point, too.
You all prolly dont give a shit but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account??
I somehow forgot my password. I love any tips you can offer me!
@Chaim Maddux instablaster :)
@Kayden Hank Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and im in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Kayden Hank It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much, you really help me out !
@Chaim Maddux happy to help xD
Maybe make a set of wheel chocks you can hang on the side when moving the coop. Could just leave a 1 to 2 inch vertical strip unpainted on the forward end of tank as a sight gauge. Very enjoyable build series, thanks for sharing it!
That's a nice looking coup. Pretty clever water feed system. Good job!
Your channel is going to blow up very informational and entertaining content
Happy Easter to you and your family. Love your videos.
Very nice build!
BTW, I see that your suspenders are Perry Suspenders. They are the best!
Looking forward to your reviews of this thru the summer. Very cool.
Paint the bottom part black as will only leave a 1-2" stripe unpainted. I use painter's tape and with a black sharpie I do make some marks so visually I can estimate how much I got in the tank. So like every 5 Gallon on your small tank is more than enough.
If you put a Strip of tape down the middle of the water tank then paint it then remove the tape then you have a fill strip you can see were the water level is
That's a cool water system you rigged up there, Troy! I was surprised though, that the roost bars are out in the open instead of back in the part that has solid walls to block the wind. Will your chickens like roosting in the open like that? I will stay tuned to find out! :-)
Awesome video.
Couple extra 90s an you could plumb along the studs
Great
I really love how this came together. Thanks for sharing all the details, Troy! I found a cheap junk trailer on Craigslist that I'll be able to use to make a very similar mobile coop. It actually has a light steel frame, forming a box about 5 feet tall, so I'm hoping it comes together with minimal framing.
This isn't a coup, it's the Trojan Horse the woke chickens push into the colonels compound when the uprise happens. so well built ! 👍👍
It's a coop, for chickens.
😂
Maybe it is a coop for a coup. Maybe it is a Patriot Trojan Chicken Tractor that will be taken into the woke soy chickens compound.
@@pmessinger Humor ahhhhh
In the middle of a text conversation whilst the lady is visiting her parents. “Why didn’t you answer when my mom called you??”
“Troy posted a video. I’m busy”
Thank you sir lol
Careful! I don’t want to be responsible for any domestic issues ...
@redtoolhouse approximately how many chickens will fit in that portable coop?
You could still have the pipe to the tank against the wall of the coop if you rotate it on the final bend rather than having it vertical?
Any worries about sediment blocking the valve open? I assume a first flush diverter is not practical on such a small roof area.
Wont the red panels reduce egg production?
Just curious, are you concerned about, for instance bird poop, or some other containment, fouling the water, or is a chicken's immune system able to overcome that? I realize they can follow cattle, and eat grain from their manure, and be ok.
I’m thinking 🤔 about it (the tank )hanging outside . lol
paint it black except for a 1/8" strip running long ways
Can you make me one in blue?
Ha ha! I'd love to have one, too. What a great design.
can one call that a palace? what hen or rooster wouldnt!
Hey would there be anyway I could email back and forth with you about your hogs? We sre thinking of starting our own farm business and was wanting some pointers
OK no comment
This isn't a troll, it's a genuine question. I just can't wrap my head around why so many people are pursuing this rural lifestyle. 100 years ago I would get it; but now? Living a "rural" or what many TH-cam channels call a "simple" lifestyle is far more expensive than "normal" Western life in nearly all circumstances. Land prices have been skyrocketing for a generation. Raising your own livestock is generally a horrible value proposition, even compared to purchasing organic $$ food. It requires an incredible investment in time, energy, etc. All for what? So that your standard of living is roughly the same as it was for people 100 years ago? What am I missing? Do you really get *that* much satisfaction from growing your own food as opposed to going to the farmers market?
Probably depend on the people for the reason but many are more autonomous that way... They don't have to depend that much on some else for food, water, electricity... Organic food in the store... based on what... what the seller in telling you? lol... good luck with that buddy... Raising price of land... and you think the price in a city for a piece of land did not raise too? Are you living under a rock or something like that? The price of housing is most of the time only raising and at the moment at least around here we have more demand than offer so guess what... the price are even more ridiculous... Not only that but the price of land or house near the better place in town have skyrocketed even more so yeah people go away from city to get lower price for a piece of land and a bigger one too...
Anyway for many it's way be away from the idiot around them and get some space... i mean in today world at least around here you can't fart without your next door neighborhood knowing about it because the house/apartment are too close to each other... Not only that but because you are in a city many thing can't be done because of city rules, lack of space, etc...
It’s all well and good to rely on a job, a paycheck, and a farmer’s market when times are good, but it’s too late to decide to raise your own food , when there’re no jobs, no paychecks, and no farmer’s market.
@@hahsmc completely agree. How many people were "non essential" in the US wishing they were prepared a year ago?
To me, going backwards is not a negative outcome. In the end the old ways of doing things will prevail.
I appreciate your question.
We are trying to make our own food that avoids all the poisons. It is not the GMOs, it is all the poisons that are used.
Even at a farmers market, unless you know the farmer, you do not know their growing practices. My local farmers market has a few individuals that are buying vegetables wholesale and re-selling for a profit. They are not supposed to, but it happens.
It is much more peaceful with my cows, pigs, garden and forest that anything I have done it my life.
I get a lot of joy and satisfaction out of my garden.
😂😂😂no comments you wish. You just sucked to purge the line from an old gray water tank. That's nasty.
Actually, it was a brand new tank I purchased from amazon. I know my limits
@@RedToolHouse 😂😂that's good.
Happy Easter! Thinking kindly of all the farms I watch I went to my local grocery to buy some local farm raised beef and lamb. Surprisingly I found nothing locally grow or ethically raised. Some day I hope farms like yours will be in every county across our great country again... I got a nice looking rib roast and a leg of lamb for the day. Good thing spices and my Traeger will save the day for flavor... Thinking of all the farmers that made our meal possible. Thank you!
