You've inspired me to try to make my own coop! Thanks for showing all the steps and not leaving things out - I'm still learning how to best put things together and use my tools, so it is helpful to see you use them yourself.
I am making a chicken coop for the first time, out of a large bathroom vanity that someone was getting rid of. It’s definitely a learning process, for me as I have never done this kind of stuff, but my husband is trying to help me. I think a chicken coop is a fairly good choice for a first time build project, even though it is hard for me as I have never built anything but am enjoying the adventure. Thanks for the tutorial. I wanted to se how you put on your hinges as that is what I am working on now.
the greatest results that ive ever had was by following the Coop Magic Tactic (i found it on google) without a doubt the best info that I have ever followed.
Such a complete and comprehensive video. Thank you SO MUCH for adding the plans and the materials. I'm building the coop and I will be using these plans and following your video, since it has been the best one I've found so far, simple and clear, but also complete and elegant. Awesome work!
Thank you very much for the complement Robert! I'm happy to hear you'll be building your own coop! Good luck, and if you have any questions, just hit me up 😁
Really clear concise video without skipping any details. A good simple design that has good functionality. Looking to make this in the next month or so!
While there are a number of design flaws and omissions, for one that is clearly not a builder by trade you've done a pretty okay job of your chicken coop. I would recommend viewers see a few other builds as well. The camera work and the way you have displayed the actual framing and assembly of your project are possibly the best I've seen yet. Fortunately, chickens are uncomplicated and not that difficult to please and the end product is aesthetically, not bad at all.
Thank you for your honesty Greg. I've learned a lot since building that coup and I would agree it's not a flawless design. From what I remember when designing this coup I watched a lot of chicken coup video's online before starting so I take it most people will!
Thanks! Good question. A Bantam chick doesn't need to much space to sleep. Best to focus on space the run around and look for food (the run). We ended up having 13 bantam chicks in this coop without any issues 👌🏻😄
I have a question… but first let me say thank you for a great video. Also, such a great looking coop. I love how the design integrates the nesting boxes into the initial floor plan. And the colors are awesome. My question is … I’m looking at the blueprints and on page two, titled Chicken Coop Beams Front… at what angle on your miter saw did you cut the ends of the top board for the nesting box ( the board is listed as 36cm). Also, what angle did you cut the top of the board that frames out the back of the nesting box (the board is listed as 95cm). Any help you can provide on the angles of your cuts would be much appreciated. I am a first time builder of anything and while you made this look like a very approachable project… I’m still nervous to get started.
Hi Tim! Thank you for your kinds words. The angle for the nesting boxes roof (95cm beam) is 20 degrees. Following that 20 degrees angle into the 36cm beam. I hope this helps! If you have any other questions feel free to hit me up ☺️ good luck building 💪🏻🔨
OSB is not for outdoor use. That coop won’t last more than 4 rainstorms. Horizontal cuts are helping water penetrate the OSB. After 1 year, the OSB will be sawdust. The 2x4 frame will still be around though. You can try again with plywood and siding
Hi Julia, you can find the blueprint will all information on sizing in the description. We currently have 13 bantam chickens in the coop. The run is more important than the coop!
Hi! If you have 8 big chickens it might be a bit on the small side. But I think you can make it work by making the roof higher and creating a bigger run. If it's 8 bantams the coop might be okay but I would still suggest a bigger run! They don't need to much sleeping space as long as they can all sit on a perch. But they need space to run, jump and look for food, else they might get bored and pick on each other. Hope this helps!
Hello nice video I have question hope you have time to answer me. Can you tell me how much do you spend and do you have a list of the material I need too buy lumber? Thanks

Hi! If you want happy chickens I wouldn't go over 4. It can be more if you make the chicken run a bit bigger tho! Chickens don't require much space inside but during the day they like to wonder around.
@@certifiedfreyiasimp5569 the main thing to look for would be the weight they can support. I haven't looked into it myself but I would say wheels that are used for a handtruck (trolley) would be good to use!
It took 5 hours of work for 9 days. But that was including all the film work and letting paint dry. I think you can get it done in about 15 to 25 hours in total over one week depending on your woodworking skills and tools.
I built the chicken coop and I didn't have any measurements in mind or nothing or any plans or anything and my floor was not level... I just made it work.. but used to level because all of your measurements might end up different but as long as it's measured level it's good
Interesting! Just did some checking myself. I think the coop would be able to use. But if you keep on adding and adding it might get a bit small inside 🤣 but this might just work!
We've used it for 4 maximum so far. You could fit more probably but I like to give them some space. The run usually determents how many chicks it can fit. 😄 Since the coop is only for sleeping. I know that some farmers have a coop of 2 by 2 meters that is filled with 20-30 chicks. But during the day they have an open field to run in. Hope this helps! 😊
Hi! We currently use the coop for 13 bantam chicks, which are just fine. More important is the outdoor run, as long as there is enough space so they can entertain themselves during the day. The coop is just for sleeping. I would suggest making it a bit higher if it's for normal-size chickens tho, they need some extra head space above the perches.
Hahaha, they were inside the coop! They were still too young to go outside. since we only had them for 1 day when finishing this coop build. They are now running around happely!
If I made it from plywood it would be more expensive than our own house 😜🤣 jokes a side. Wood here is really expensive. The coop is still doing great after all these months. And I live in a very damp climate. So I think it's fine 👌🏻

Hello! Great work. Do you mind linking where you got the roofing from? The pattern is beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you 😄 I got it from a local hardware store "GAMMA". The product is called easy shingles. Maybe that helps in your search?

It's been quite some time and it's still standing 😁 but I did indeed start the video out by saying the OBS should be replaced with plywood 😅

Great quastion Tremell. So far so good really. The paint is keeping the moisture out and we don't have any issues with the coop 😁💪🏻

Nice upload
Thank you! Glad you liked it =D
How much approximately did you spend on materials
About 300 to 400 euros. But that's mainly because wood is really expensive in the Netherlands. 😵
Sorry of this has been covered already but what is the angle on the 95cm uprights? is it 45degrees or just a random cut? thanks!
Hey! Good question. I did some extra measuring and it's 20 degrees 😁👌🏻
20 degrees is the minimum for most roofing to work properly.. you can adjust it a bit to your liking of course

You didn't use "PRIMER" before painting.
That paint WILL PEEL in a few days.

@@lusofreak I feed them from my hand every morning. That's about it. Any tricks you think I could teach them?!
This wood is not suitable for outdoor use if it is not going to be covered. As soon as it gets wet it will fall apart like cardboard.
You are correct. That's why i said replace it with plywood 😁 the chicken coop is doing fine tho. I think the paint protects it a bit.
