Backyard Chicken Coop Anyone Can Build!

- Hope you enjoy this time-lapse of building this backyard chicken coop! It took a bit longer than expected but we're happy with how it turned out, and so are the chickens! I went with yellow because we wanted some color and were inspired by some of the traveling we've done. I don't know the exact cost but it was somewhere in the ballpark of $700 or so worth of materials.

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!
Indeed! I'm a skillsaw/speedsquare kind if carpenter myself and I appreciate the simplicity!
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?
You can do this with a handsaw, hammers and nails if you wanted too.
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.
The fact that he didn’t use techno music as the audio deserves a like in itself. 👍
Dream house for every chicken in the world👏🏻
Thank you! I just bought the same plans and was so glad to find a video showing how to build the coop!
Looks like exactly what I need . Nowadays though , I might want it camouflaged .
Thank you for taking the time to film this, it really helps me figure out what I want to do✌️
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.
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.
I IT!!!!! That is exactly the type and size I want mine to be! Thank you for sharing!!!
Great job, this is the best chicken coop design imo
Awesome. Love the simplicity. Not crazy like some others
I bet you have some happy chickens in that awesome coop.
내가 본 동영상 중 닭집 최고!!!!!
굿~맨 수고 많이 하셨어요
영상 잘봤습니다~^^
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
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
Good job. Nicely planned and done.i like the colors
Good morning from uk just found you i now you were no lost i had chickens along time a go but still look how guys make the sheds for birds and all are diffrent good luck keep safe
Wow that's a fancy coop windows too great video
Love this design.
Dankeschön für die schnelle Vorführung. Vielen herzlichen Dank ❤
Absolutely Amazing. This is the best chicken coop design I have ever seen. Functionality and the look both fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
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!!!
@@WeekendRenegades hola muy lindo el gallinero . Me gustaría saber que medidas son porfavor .gracias
I love it , turned out great 👍🏻
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.
Totally agree, limited wood needed. Well done looks damn good...proud! From the United Kingdom ❤
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.
Good job on the chicken coop🏡🐓
Love this idea.simple ...I am glad I found ur channel.thanks for sharing.new subscriber here from canada.god bless
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?😅
@@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
This was a beautiful build.
Thank you!
Bel lavoro, COMPLIMENTI ❤️
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 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Adorable 😊
i like my ryobi stuff for around the house too, great video man
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!
Great and helpful tutorial 👍
lol straight monster bro, great work.
Hopefully my project is that successful.
Harika bir proje elinize emeğinize sağlık 1👍🔔😊
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!
Thanks! And yeah painting is not my favorite. Thanks for watching!
Hello Sir. Can I ask You what was the size on this chicken coop ? Listing on etsy doesn't say the dimentions and for how many chicken is the coop.
Building mines just like it don’t buy plans just build as I go it will be just like it once finished love the your model 😂👍🏼
Great build
Like the egg yolk and egg shell paint scheme.
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!
Great Video inspiring stuff
Super chicken coop. I like it very much. I will build the same.
Great idea 💡
You make it look easy! Thanks

I like your work :)
Great job.
Thank you!
Nice work.
Thanks!
Great music choice😄
Omg it is nice.
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.
nice job
You are the best !
Complementi, veramente bello.
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!
Good luck with the project!
Very good 👍👍🙏
Cool👍👍👍
Predivno.
I really like that. We are just starting with chickens. Do you have the building plans? I would like to build that very coop.
Nicely done 👍
Thank you!
Man I just want chickens now I gotta study trigonometry and craftsmanship
I'm doing this with two saw horses & a borrowed skillsaw this weekend.
Good luck!
Just finished basically the same coop but with some changes.
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.
Liquid Rubber has worked great for me
@@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 🏴
Nice coop! Where did you get the windows? They are perfect and the coop is just perfect!
Where do I buy the plans??? Absolutely inlive with this coop! You've done a great job
It's very prüfesional.
Thank you so much for this.
Thanks for watching!
we put vinyl flooring down in the ones we have built great job god bless
I've seen that done before, seems like a great idea! Thanks for watching
Wauw beautiful
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.
How much did the build end up costing?
Good job !👏👌
Thank you!
nice 👍😎👍
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.
Won’t that leave space for snakes and vermin to crawl in though?
@@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"
Super❤
Excellent job. Pure of mistake.
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?
Nice work. I really like you showing the process and the tour at the end. My son and I are looking to build a coop the the next couple weeks and my wife says she likes this one the best. One Question: what kind of lumber did you use for the exterior trim 1x4's? Can it just be treated wood that get painted, or does it need to be cedar? Trying to see if could build this for $500 with lumber prices having gone down in our area just recently and I already have all the roofing materials.
Pretty sure I used something like this for the siding. It doesn't need to be cedar, if it's treated wood and you paint it and caulk it with exterior grade paint and caulk you should be good. But, if you're trying to save some money you could always buy 1/2" or 3/4" plywood and rip it down to make all your trim. Wood prices are weird right now so I'm not sure how much that would save you. Thanks for watching!
@@WeekendRenegades Thanks th-cam.com/video/eL7BIGnj4SA/w-d-xo.html
Did you treat the coop floor with anything (for damp protection or the like), before putting the shavings down?
If you did this again, would you paint the pieces before assembling or not?
Really enjoyed video. Do you have a list of supplies?
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!
Great video!!! Where did you get those windows from?
