I like that you didn't use a $100k wood workshop to do this like some videos. Just using your skilsaw for most of it gave me a little more confidence in my project. :)
Ha, yeah I definitely don’t have a fancy setup. Honestly you could probably do the whole job with a skilsaw. Thanks for watching and good luck on your project!
I love that he can actually use the tools and knows to simply flip a 4*4 over to cut it all the way with a circular saw. I see people using hand saws and other stuff and one guy had some Japanese pole saw or something .
Awesome build, quick question. On the side where the two vents are do you think modifying the bottom to have a panel open up to allow for clean out would be feasible? Or do the plans already have that built in?
I bought the plans. Im starting with the mayerial list to gather everything a piece at a time. Fits my budget. Thanks for the great video!! Its gonna be the perfect addition to my John Suscovich chicken tractor.
We elected to build our Chicken House 24” off the Ground…the whole House & 10’x 24’ Run are 1/2” Hardware Clothed Completely Under & Up All Sides of Run so it is very Secure. My only Issue (didn’t see this coming) is my Girls occasionally Lay Eggs under the House…I can’t Crawl under it, so I won’t do that again. House is 8’x 8’ Floor but 12’ West Wall & 5’ East wall so we have a decent Pitch on roof…we have lotsa Rain here, so went with Green Metal to match our Home & Garage. You did a Superstar Job on your House!! Wonderful Video too!!!

Great tutorial! Love the simple design you made it look so easy to build! One suggestion I always make is to use natural wood sticks as roosts of various girths so your chickens don’t get arthritis. Makes it just a little bit more comfortable for them.
Thanks! And yeah I've heard a lot of different things around that particular debate with roosts. But from what I've read 2x4s with the 1 1/2" side up make for perfect roosting bars as long as you get rid of the sharp corners. I'll look into the arthritis thing though, I haven't heard of that.
Like how you used the circular saw to cut the miters, and the miter saw to cut the straight cut. And the ax to nail the roof. But it’s a fine Hen house.
@@bambamnj I was shocked when I was told this as well but it was true. Natural isn't always best for farm animals they have adapted to the easy life and he is actually right they do prefer it. Try it with your chicks too
Professional chicken keepers say that the way their feet are shaped fit better when the a board is used for a roost. If a branch is used it needs to be big around enough to be comfortable. Chickens are pretty heavy so they need a perch that supports their feet. If you are interested in learning more there are any number of sites that can educate you.t@@bambamnj
Yo! Nice job man! I built the same exact coop and it took about a month. I thought painting was going to be the death of me lol Your coop turned out great!
A garden client of mine had exactly the same model and I was floored when she told me what she paid for it..!!!!! Needless to say I could probably make three or four of these for what she paid for hers… thank you so much for sharing
I literally just finished this exact chicken coop... The biggest departure in how I went about it was that I used more whole sheets of t1-11 siding and then used a flush cut router to get my doors and windows cut. I also decided to use PVC trim... So I only had to prime and paint the building and the trim was already white and ready to go. I still gotta caulk some screw holes but am done. I also am insulating mine as I'm in South Dakota where it gets both toasty and downright cold. My only dislike of this coop design is that the nesting box lid still manages to get water under it... At least with wind driven rain.
Good notes overall. PVC trim was a good call. I may still insulate mine as well at some point. Something else I would've done different as well was buy thicker t1-11. The siding I bought was thinner and saved me money but the thicker one probably would have been better. Thanks for watching!
Thinking about building this and I thought the next box lid would probably leak. I will probably modify so that the front drops down rather than the top lifting up.
I built a similar design ( not based on this video) and it leaks to much where the nesting boxes are located. I tried different types of flashing and eventually got it fixed. The wind driven rain comes down/in where the hinges are located.
I've been a builder for many years and have seen quite a fair bit of sheds. The plans in ryan's package th-cam.com/users/postUgkxB7IXYxLzb_Ichhe45zM3Im5xfEiSp9vB have some of the nicest looking sheds i've seen in a while.
I paid for 6 chickens. I live in DC and have a decent sized backyard. I needed a simple plan like this. I can adjust for my needs and the tools I have which is basically a saw and a hammer and a bucket of nails. Thanks.
I have all this material. I have 4 chickens in a very small pen. Im disabled but do things a little at a time. fun watching sure hope I can do you it. :D
Great coop, im making a new one soon with a sliding out muck tray as easier to clean, my trouble is finding the right weather coating for the plywood as over they years I have tried many products but none ever seems to last.
@@shannongamble2715 hi there, I shall give that a go, I'm from Wales in the U.K and the weather is so mixed here its been really hot for sometime and now its hammering down with rain, I have tried most weather coatings even the best that is recommended but nothing lasts long even Marin vanishes starts cracking off. I will take a look around for some of that liquid rubber thank you 🏴
Ha, I didn't even realize. The original paint choices were inspired by a recent trip to Mexico. But, egg yolk and shell is pretty good too. Thanks for watching!
I have some chickens. I love them so so much. They are like my babies. They live with us in our Apartment. We do not have enough space to make any coop for them. They are free though. Most of the times they stay in our rooms, on our beds, laps. Its my dream to make a coop, a tiny beautiful chicken palace for them 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
All things aside, gotta respect this guys willingness to so this.. and despite making past errs with markups and what not, good for him for taking accountability and making positive change. We'll done to both of you.
The easiest way for me would be a shovel and wheel barrow. But, I’m about to try out the deep litter method which people have gone 6+ months without cleaning it out at all.
I used pine shavings, the larger ones. The small, fine shavings can apparently cause some breathing issues. I've seen people use hay more for scratching in the run, or in the nesting boxes.
One small idea for the floor so it will be self cleaning I got from "Just a few acres farm" channel, space the floor boards about 1 1/2 in apart. The chickens scratching will make it clean itself. There are few chores worse than cleaning the henhouse, for me at least.
@@carmenfarmer337 Chickens eat snakes unless they are really large, plus I am talking up off the ground a bit. See Pete's eggmobile update on "just a few acres farm"
I know it's not really necessary on such a small structure, but cutting the birds mouth on the roof rafters makes it easier to attach them. And it's just an overall cleaner look. I'm a bit OCD and would probably cut them on a dog house haha.
Great chicken coop.Could you can tell me what are a dimentions of this coop please? On etsy I can't find this informationa and also how many chicken can live in there
Partially because I was following the plans to a T and partially out of laziness. I did think about it though and the birds mouth would be nice. Thanks for watching!
I'm converting an old unused shed with a new metal roof and good wood into a large chicken coop with 2 doors and a nesting box. Nice to work along with someone!
I made this same coop a couple years ago totaled a bit over 2000. More than I was expecting, and I didn't buy windows, I made my own with wood and plexi.
Check the description for a link to the plans! I'd rather have people support the creator of the plans and not give them away for free. Good luck with your project!
If they aren't naturally catching on then keep them inside the house for a couple days when weather permits. They like privacy when laying so they automatically go for the boxes.

You can do this with a handsaw, hammers and nails if you wanted too.
The fact that he didn’t use techno music as the audio deserves a like in itself. 👍
Finally a video that actually shows me what I want to see. Thanks for the help!
Thank you! I just bought the same plans and was so glad to find a video showing how to build the coop!
What plans? I don’t see a link.
best one ive seen so far, simple enough for a new woodworker to do.
Thank you! And this is definitely a great project to tackle. Not many tools required.
Looks like exactly what I need . Nowadays though , I might want it camouflaged .
Pretty good video. I would only add one thing. You might want to add drip edge if you are going to shingle your roof. Take it from an old roofer
I was just looking into getting a coop, but a coop this size from overez cost nearly $2000! so seeing this makes me so happy
Well save yourself the effort, bc building this yourself costs about $2000 lol
I bought the plans. Im starting with the mayerial list to gather everything a piece at a time. Fits my budget. Thanks for the great video!! Its gonna be the perfect addition to my John Suscovich chicken tractor.

Nice chicken coop, I would've gone with a tin roof and the color red (yellow is too loud imo). Overall a very nice build, thanks 4 sharing.
Thanks for watching! I wouldn’t typically go for yellow but wanted to do something a bit different.
we bought the same plans and built the same coop. we added a cattle panel hoop house w a turnout, and they love it.
nice job
Nice!
i like my ryobi stuff for around the house too, great video man
Wow that's a fancy coop windows too great video
Like how you used the circular saw to cut the miters, and the miter saw to cut the straight cut. And the ax to nail the roof. But it’s a fine Hen house.
The chickens actually prefer the 2x4s for perching oriented the other way, so they're on top of the wider side of the wood.
yeah because in the wild there are lots of 2x4's for birds to perch on. LMAO and of course you asked the chickens what their preference was.
Oh did you ask them then?😅

Adorable 😊
Thank you very much for this great video. Your coop looks great and has functional features too. How many chickens do you suggest to house there?
Thank you! The plans say it can hold up to 12, but I only had 5. 8-10 would be a good number for this coop in my opinion!
Can you share the measurements please?
Totally agree, limited wood needed. Well done looks damn good...proud! From the United Kingdom ❤
Super chicken coop. I like it very much. I will build the same.

really good music, Ryan
How high does this coop stand with these plans? I'd like to put it inside a large dog run.
What's the easiest way to clean it out and how often do u clean it?
The easiest way for me would be a shovel and wheel barrow. But, I’m about to try out the deep litter method which people have gone 6+ months without cleaning it out at all.
Builds as pretty a little hen house as you’ll ever see and attaches the most eye sore looking run to it as you’d never want to see.
It was temporary. Within a few weeks they had a large fenced run.
Great job, i just need all those tools, all that space, and a sprinkle of woodworking training and voila
Awsome..The most simple, yet less expensive equipments used for a coop I've ever seen on TH-cam . Really I like it.. can u provide the drawings plz?
Love this idea.simple ...I am glad I found ur channel.thanks for sharing.new subscriber here from canada.god bless
What is the best bedding in the coop and nest box's to use, pine shavings or hay?
I used pine shavings, the larger ones. The small, fine shavings can apparently cause some breathing issues. I've seen people use hay more for scratching in the run, or in the nesting boxes.
Very nice job. I'm thinking of getting chickens. And I will build one of these, not bit this large. I need it for only 3 chickens.
Good luck!

Looks great and am going to replicate! What size/dimension is the initial base?
Can't remember off the top of my head, but I did link to the plans in the description above.
I wonder if I could build something like this all by myself. Do you also have any videos and plans for a run?
I think you can do it. There's plans to this coop in the description above. I don't have any plans for a run, sorry. Good luck!

How do you make the chickens lay eggs in those exact slots if the entire coop is covered in the same stuff? Just so I know how to do mine thank you
If they aren't naturally catching on then keep them inside the house for a couple days when weather permits. They like privacy when laying so they automatically go for the boxes.
