Chicken Coop POOP clean out door
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ก.ย. 2016
- I added a clean out door and tray system to help me in cleaning out the chicken POOP from my chicken coop. Gross topic yes, but useful upgrade... even more YES! Also, please let me know if an updated chicken coop tour would be of interest to you guys. I've made several upgrades and changes in the last year or so and figured an update tour might be in order. Thanks for watching guys:)
THANKS to Derek and Hannah from the Life Inside a Box channel for the drone shots!!! go check out their tiny house build....awesome!

Thanks for another great clip! I'd love to get a more in-depth look at the modifications you've done. Thanks for being such a great inspiration for someone who's recently moved to the countryside. :)
Thanks so much Asa Anastasia! Very much appreciated:) I'm working on a couple things then I'll get to the coop tour:) I appreciate your kind words and checking out the vids:)
joe
Just started getting into Homesteading / DIY's and found your channel by this video. Great idea! I ended up binge watching just about every video back to your Q&A's. As a fellow displaced Louisiana boy, good job and keep the great videos coming.
Thanks so much WBKY:) Glad to hear it and I'm glad to have you along for the ride:)
Joe
I am so happy I found your channel! We are getting ready to build a coop for our first chicken flock. Thank you for all of your very inspiring and informative videos.
Thanks Carolyn! Good luck on the build and feel free to share any pics when you're done. I'd love to see them:)
Joe
Another slick retrofit project. Nicely done. Loved the flyover the homestead. Give us a nice overview of your property and it is gorgeous.
Thanks so much DW... the drone shots were compliments of Derek and Hannah at the Life inside a box channel:)
Joe
Very clever and very beautiful 👏👏👏
Excellent video! Love the updates to the coop and the aerial view! :) Very Good!!!!!
thanks mom!
Great video again Joe! Thanks for sharing! Cheers!
thanks CSB! Going to check out your meadology series right now...looks mmmmm good:)
Joe
Hey Joe. Love the new drone vid opener. Great touch! Excellent pooper scoopers as well!!
Thanks Danny and Leslie! the shots were compliments of Derek and Hannah at the life inside a box channel! I'd love to get one someday but my wife is smarter than I and keeps my toys in line;)
Joe
much more manageable making two smaller trays than one larger tray like I've seen on some other builds...I will definitely be building a coop similar to this one in our next house! just subscribed as well!
Yes, please, I enjoy your ideas, so fast for me is a big yes. Thanks.
Thanks so much Carlene! I have a couple videos to do before that one but it will be on its way soon:)
Joe
I move my coop around with built on skids with my garden tractor. Works great and a whole lot less work. My coop has a wire floor so the poop falls through and can be easily washed with a hose. Always enjoy your videos Joe, thanks. Look east over the Rincon's and I'm there.
Thanks DD1! That sounds like a great set up... maybe I could come tour it someday:) thanks for checking out the poop chute too;)
Joe
So awesome! Thank you for sharing🙂🐓❤️
Thanks so much Stacey!
Joe
Definitely would like to see the changes made! Great job!
Got it on the shorter list RB! thanks for checking out the poop chute too;)
joe
I use the same T-25 deck screws, they are definitely an improvement over # 2 square drive. Nice work.
Thanks Mr. Rain! Yes, it was hard for me to start using them at first due to me being cheap but they are so easy to work with and durable... I'm now totally convinced of their extra value!!
JOe
Simple, practical, and relatively cheap to make. I don't have a chicken coop, but I now know what it would have. Thanks!
Thanks so much KC! Much appreciated... and thanks for watching. You might have a coop sooner than you think if you watching too many more of these;) chickens are so much fun!! thanksf or watching!
Joe
Nice, useful, and functional upgrade!
thanks Jess!
Very nice and would love an update tour of the new modified coop
Love the drone footage. Great vid as always!! Approaching 48k subs. Good work and great content. Bear Down!
Thanks so much Henry! And it was good to see you check out the livestream too:) Drone footage was compliments of Derek and Hannah at the life inside a box channel:)
joe
You have great ideas. Love this one.
Thanks so much Jess!
Joe
thanks for the tip :) we're adding a chicken coop to the family farm.
Smart design. No hassle.
Thanks so much Yak! so far so good:)
joe
great upgrade. yes to another walk around tour video
Thanks Ciaran! I have a couple more things that I want to finish first then I'll get to it:)
Very nice Joe. Well built as always...
Thanks so much guys!
joe
Yes would love to see another video.
I like this idea!
I haven’t built my clean out yet. I built the nesting box last weekend based upon your feedback (no dividers). I have the poop door just no sliding mech.
Hey mate. Yeah would love to see an updated walk around.
That is a great way of doing this! Really like this a lot!
Thanks WTB! Glad you liked it:)
Joe
Awesome series.
Man, what a great video.. Thanks for yet another epic job :D
Thanks so much KH! Much appreciated!
Joe
Great job! :)
Awesome! My girls will be ready in a couple weeks for their new home! Looks like I've got next weekends project scheduled! 😬
Thanks Mark! Awesome that you got a coop project going... let me know when its all done as I'd love to check it out:)
Joe
Nice! Yes, Joe. I'd be interested in seeing more of the coop. Possibly looking to build a winter coop closer to the house for when the snow is flying, and a smaller space would mean they cooks keep it warmer during the cold temps.
*Could keep warmer...
Yes, indeed. Smaller space would be easier to heat for sure:) And I'll get the coop tour on the short(er) list of vids to come:)
joe
Really cool 😎
Another nice video Joe. Always glad to have more coop videos although the nearest I get to a chicken is at KFC. You make all of the hard work that goes into your videos so easy and it would be simple to think that there is not hours of hard graft behind each video slot. Keep up the fantastic work.
Thanks so much Tony! I really appreciate it. I try to do my best on each video and they are certainly not the best out there but even the simple ones take quite a bit of time.... between playing princess (me prince) with my daughter, other chores and work... oh yeah, and still digging for my cooling tunnels on the greenhouse...lol. But it's fun and I really hope that they inspire others on their own projects:) Thanks so much.. .I always love hearing from you Tony:)
Joe
I believe I'll be doing one very soon. Thanks
Can't wait for the coop tour
Thanks Emily... working on finishing a couple more things first then will be on to doing the tour video:)
I'll see if I can post or upload pics/vids! Thanks again!
Pretty ingenious!
Thanks Tania:)
Joe
Yes I would love to see an update video.
cool... got it on the short(er) list of ToDo's;)
thanks for watching Keith:) Joe
Nice demonstration man
Good job 👍
Your a genius love your work want chicks in my future tiny home attached to house or on the side don't know yet
Thanks so much Denise! Your tiny house with chickens sounds cool:)
Joe
Now if I can add some 1 inch hardware cloth floors above the removable trays I'll have it made!
Yes I would like your design plans and cost or supply list!! Thank you kindly🥰😊
Really good job... I am sure that is gonna save you a ton of work in the future... Props !
Thanks so much BBJ!
joe
Nice upgrade.
Thanks tommy!

homesteadonomics bkkkgg
Holly shit , that's a great idea !
Thank you very helpful
Pretty Slick Joe.
Thanks Eric! Glad you liked it:)
Joe
Hello mate ! thank you for your time in the making of this videos ; which are a good source of information for the novice DIY guys like me . I got a question : I know you live in the desert and you probably don't get as much rain as we do here in Sydney , Australia ; my question is ,on a rainy day wouldn't you get water in your egg box through the gap where the hinges are ? we get days of continuous rain here in Sydney and I'm just wondering wether to make some mods. to your original design ? , thanking you again for your help ,kind regards , Juan Ferrari .
I love it your job men 💪
Thanks Carlos!
Joe
Great Idea
Thanks P71!
I like the clean out and would be very interested in the total look at the coop.
Bob
Thanks Robert! Will be planning on the updated tour soon:) and in the mean time until the new tour vid...I have a tour I did a couple years ago... but it's way older and not as great of video quality... just check the videos tab on my channel page.
I live in Oregon, where it rains a lot and it's old all the time. especially in the winter when it snows. How will I keep them warm. I am in the plans of getting my own house and coop pretty soon.
Very Nice
I like the cheesy wave at the begginbeggining
thanks for sharing
thanks for checking it out YL:)
Joe
I would love to see an update on your modifications!
Will put it on the list Stacy! thanks for watching
Joe
Nice.
Chickens love swings in the coop.
Duh! I should've just gone to your next video on your feeding/watering system.
If you drilled small holes in the sides of the ripples on the panels, will this add air and start the composting?
Would love to see more about the coop
Will put it on the short list terry:)
joe
How do the chickens do once the bedding is added on top? First timer with chickens and can see how this would be a slippery surface
I would really remove the handle and build a better attachable/detachable handles so it doesn't get cover in straw and poop.
Would love to see an update tour.
Awesome... got it on the short list:)
Joe
Yes... I would like to see the chicken coop... will you build an other one..?
Dig the drone footage Joe. thx for a different view
Thanks Tory! Yes, they were compliments of derek and hannah at the life inside a box channel:)
But I really would like to get one someday:)
Joe
Hey Joseph!!! I use to live in Oracle Az when I was a kid with my little brother Joseph, yes Joseph. My Dad's name is guess what Joseph. Anyway are you in or close to Oracle? Dad use to work at the copper mine out there. I am a old fart now 54 will be 55 oct 22. Just thought I would say your water collection is beyond cool!!!!! Joseph
I have spent months studying building coops and discovered a great website at Coop Magic Tactic (check it out on google)
I am about to build your awesome coop for my wife and kids first chickens and was wondering if the handle on the trays systems bothers or could it hurt the chickens? Your coop is great and looks easy to build with my kids. Thank you for the you tube videos Just found you today!!!!!
thanks CP! the handles don't seem to affect them at all they stay low under the bedding. And good luck on your new coop build... excited for you:) I'd love to see pics when you get it finished!
Joe
Ok on the theory
How did they really work out after 4-6 cleanings?
Ahhhhhh !! I was hoping to see some chicken poop !!
haha... nope... you'll see some on the chicken coop tour;)
Joe
Yes, please
Will get it on the shorter list;)
thanks for watching paula!
joe
did you put down a metal sheet for the bottom floor below the poop trays?
Hi! I love your coop. In your video, I noticed the PVC pipe behind you up high on the coop. Is this used for water runoff? Can you do a video of your feeding and watering system?
Hi CF... I have a video of the watering and the new feeder... just search the videos page:)
joe
Hey! Have u put any mettle netting
Inside tha coop also, so that chicken feet can't get dirty with their own poop.
How cool is that?
Thanks for checking it out Robert:)
I'm wondering if you will need to create a short handled cleaner to assist you with cleaning out the trays. Something shaped like a rake. But with the ends formed to follow the contours of the vinyl tray bottoms. Maybe a wooden dowel with a plywood end would work. Just my 2 cents...LOL
That;'s a great idea Timby:) I'm might just have to make one!
Joe
homesteadonomics Might make things a bit easier. As I've gotten older I've gotten lazier...LOL
How many chickens does your coop hold?
Do the chickens walk on those? Do they slip?
Very Good , bytheway , did you think in raising turkey
Thanks Alhumaidy! Yes, I've actually raised Turkeys in the past but just haven't gotten around to doing it again... maybe this next summer I'll do some for thanksgiving:)
joe
Just like crumb tray for a toaster
Yes, indeed... I didn't think about that but that makes much more sense. I might just call them that from now on:) thanks!
Joe
I gotta find that compost link
drone view, someone got a new toy.
haha... I wish, but my wife wouldn't approve that purchase..lol It's actually compliments of Derek and Hannah of the Life inside a box channel th-cam.com/channels/b0s0qC96lCcx2pO2za6mcw.html
I would like to see the upgrade video
Will do Steven.. thanks for checking it out:)
Joe
