I'm about to start building mine, just waiting for the rain to break! The options out there are coops large enough for two chickens, and multi thousand dollar coops meant for either people with a lot of excess money or giant flocks. I'm just a regular human that wants like five or six chickens lol. So I'm about to build my first building ever.
That’s exactly how we felt too! Lol couldn’t agree more
Do you have a list of all the materials used to make this coop?
I absolutely love this coop! I am in the midst of building mine but had to take a break due to 4 days of rain. Your design is so nice and I am implementing some of your strategies in my coop as well!
Y'all are Great! Keep up the good work and sharing knowledge.
I love you guys! I’m researching before building my first chicken coop- my girls are 3 days old so I need to get on it. This video was very helpful and inspiring. The simplicity and beauty of your design is perfect! Everything I want in my own coop! Thank you for taking the time!
Thanks so much! Yes they grow so quickly it’s nice to be prepared and have their home ready for them for less stress 😊 we do have a video we posted recently on what we think are chicken coop must haves if you want to check that out. Just things to consider. This was our very first diy and now we build and sell them locally. It really inspired us to tackle more diy projects and gave us confidence. We really had never even picked up a drill before! Lol
Good job guys. Your coop is beautiful. The Farm sweet farm sign looks great. I love it!!
Thank you very much! We honestly didn't think it was going to turn out as well as it did. It was a lot fo fun though! Thanks for watching!
You guys did an awesome job! Looks great 👏🏼
Thanks so much!
Great job you guys I love it it’s beautiful Chicken and House coop sorry great job it came out fabulous
I just found y’all and I’m so glad! Love your videos!
Aw thanks so much!! Welcome to our channel ❤️
Great job!
Great job y’all!
built my first chicken coop this year as well, such a fun and satisfying learning process.
yes, definitely! It has inspired us to do more around the house for the chickens =]
Love the coop!!! Great video!
Thank you!!
Good job on the build!
thank you very much! We could probably finish a coop like this in half the time now that we know how to build one. We Loe the way ours turned out
Beautiful
I've been watching your videos for a while now and really enjoy them and what you you two have done there. I'm 7 weeks in with my first flock of 7 Chickens and used your idea of the cage run covered in tarps to keep everything dry inside. Next is the chcknick table ! (Super cute idea ) and I'm going to build a full size coop instead of the store bought one I have now in there next year if all works out well ! keep up the great videos and good luck to you both !!
Thanks so much!! Thanks for watching. That is exciting they grow up so fast. Let us know how the chicknic table goes, we love giving our flock treats on it. With this weather we have been giving them lots of melon on it. Have fun with all your future projects!
Love small channels like this that share similar interest as myself. Having a mini backyard farm is so satisfying and great for your mental health. I’ve been wanting to start some videos as well. I would live with my chickens if they didn’t shit everywhere haha. Great job on the build you two make a great team. definitely subscribed. By the way I live pretty close to you guys
Thanks a lot! We adore our chickens too and we always say the same thing, that they would be indoor pets if they didn't poop so much (and we don't want to deal with diapers lol). Let us know if you end up launching a channel!
Aww 💓 Dorothy! That name is so fitting. Great job on the coop. Great work y'all
Oh yeah, she is sitting on our lap in the begging of this video. Thank you!
Very good guy! I love it!!
Thank you! We almost didn't film it because we had so much to do, but Kelly insisted we document it. Glad we did!
Thanks for the video. I will incorporate some of your designs into my new chicken coop this weekend. I will have taller legs in order to store feed containers beneath the coop and use a center, clean out door.
Glad it was helpful!
Great job! I was looking at prefab coops but you have inspired me to make one. Thank you!!
Thank you! It feels good when you build your own coop and you get to customize it all, you get to build it with better and stronger materials.
@@BockBockBouquet and you get to put your love and energy into it. Love your channel so much. Thank you for all the inspo!
@@cypressmoon5090 thank you!!
You guys are just amazing 😃 and you really bring rookies like my husband & I a ton of value! Thank you sincerely for sharing your knowledge. We ordered 5 of the fly traps and the feeder is next 😂
Aw thank you so much for the kind words and support of our channel! ❤️ We love helping others and only share the products we generally love and think others will too! This diy was our very first ever, my father had always built all my livestock housing in the past. Now with our new found confidence we diy all the time and actually sell chicken coops, brooders, aviaries, Chicknic tables, dog houses, turtle, rabbit, and quail homes locally in our area now! It just takes tackling that first project to get a little experience and practice 😊 TH-cam is a great tool we learned mostly just from searching how to build a stud wall, then my dad showed us how to reinforce the foundation and do the roof
@@BockBockBouquet way to go on the evolution of your skills 😃 if we were local you’d have a coop sold for sure!
Haha thanks! Where are guys from?
Very nice coop! TFS. Christine 🇨🇦
Thank you! We still love it & has inspired us to take on other projects DIY =]
Great job guys 👍...if ya ask me, it doesn’t matter how long you guys took to build it......it’s your personal touch, and it’s beautiful. Team work, makes the dream work 😇🙏🐣🐥🐔🐓👍
Thank so much! We are very proud of how our dream coop turned out. We might do a follow up tour video, now that we've had it for over a year =]
GREAT INFO 🐔🐣🐤🐥
Nice job ,well done
thank you very much! We couldn't be happier with our coop
Great job
Thanks so much! Coop took us longer to build since we had never done it before. I now build them for other people in about half the time!
Great job! It must be hot where you are...your chickens are panting. Can you say ice treats? LOL. Congrats!
haha yes, that week was over 100 degrees in our area. We do usually give them cold snacks like frozen peas and corn, watermelon, cabbage, and ice in their waterers. Thanks for joining us!
I LOVE this coop design! Any chance you have plans I can use? I’m definitely going to need to get Lowes to precut my wood. All I have is a saws all lol
I LOVE it! Great job!
Thanks so much! We didn't think we could do it but it has given us so much DIY confidence since then.
@@BockBockBouquet homesteading is one big, scary experiment and you better hope you come out Handy on the other side lol
@@APennyForYourCropsHomestead Glad we took it on, was quite a labor of love. We wanted to have some of our babies right by our house in the garden. (We have a huge chicken coop that's a converted horse stall in the barn) that has our free rangers & it holds about 100 birds lol...we're not poultry hoarders nooooo
@@BockBockBouquet Hmmmmm sounds legit 🤔🥸🐔
looks nice!
Thank you for watching!
I love the Minor Threat shirt lol 😆
Building the house up on 4×4's was really smart to keep feed under#
Thank you! They also love hanging out under the shade of it on a hot day or taking dust bathes enjoying cool breeze 😄
Your Star Wars shirt tho 🤣❤️
LOL! Just had to get it, big Star Wars fan here and all of my family and I speak Spanish =]

Omg I am a big fan of both of you!
I really like the build and actually implemented the main door access with 6" high board for the deep litter method too on my coop which I'm still working on. Since I understand the high temps with living near Sacramento, I was thinking about adding a fresh air door to the main door so even more air gets into the coop. With you guys having pretty high temps like me, do you feel the ventilation thru the top will be enough?
I have situated my coop so it faces the east which also is up against the back of our garage so it have the maximum amount of shade throughout the day. I'm planning to extend the run far enough so the chicks have a place to sun bath when needed.
I really wanted to get your take on more ventilation from the side main door and if it's really needed?
I have good ventilation at the top of the coop, fyi.
Thanks and I appreciate the video
That is a BEAUTIFUL coop! Be happy and proud of your work. I hope you don't mind if I copy the size .
Thank you!!! and not at all. Although, I would recommend building it as a 4x6' instead of 5x6' only because the sheets of plywood come in 4x8' and for that extra foot to make it 5x6', you need to buy a second sheet of plywood for the floor. But if you want it to be 5x6', go right ahead, don't mind you using this as reference at all!! God luck!!!
You are one lucky guy! Man...
stellar information, been watching your videos all day- chickens, and some gardening too... thank you for wonderful, valuable, interesting, and necessary information!
....we are prepping for a 'suburban" chicken coop and run... what fabric/tarp do you use over your enclosure? it looks nice, and bright and lets light filtrate.... so would love to check out. thank you in advance!
Thanks so much and thanks for watching! That is a 90% shade cloth and we do have the same one we use linked in the video’s description
I need to hire you guys for our production team for Coin Cube Trading!
I like this. I might make a smaller version with internal nesting boxes. Is a 4x4 coop fine for 4-6 chickens. Probably australorps. Maybe plymouth rocks.
Awesome! Yeah, a 4x4 will probably max out at 6 chickens, but should be fine for 4-6 hens. Good luck on your build!
We ended up going with Behr Blueprint. Looks pretty close to this.
7:17 Thanks to you both I am inspired to build for my chickens ! How thick of plywood did you use for the floor and walls . ❤
Love your tattoo sleeve btw
oh thank you!
Your coop is nice.
Thank you! 😊
punk farmers...I've found my people lol
Hi Can you share what you do to keep the run clean of their waste?
I like how the chickens were there "helping".
Hahaha yesss they were anxious to try their new coop. They took to it right away and I think they love their new home
please do a farm tour of the poultry and goats!
Thanks for watching! We have been posting blogs lately showing our setups. Se do have a cleaning video a couple months ago showing our giant walk in coop 😊
Beautiful good job guys. what size is the hen run?
thank you! 9x18.5x6.5
Very nice coop... how many chickens can you keep in this coop
Good job! What are the dimensions of the coop? Thanks
Thank you! It’s 5ft x 6ft
You guys are so cute❤ you rock the flock block💁🏼♀️
Do you know what paint color this is? looks great!
Ive been searching and can’t find it but I remember it was “Indigo” something from Behr. If I find it I will update!
Where did you get your walk in chicken run?
They sell it on amazon, Walmart, wayfair. Ours is the 9 x 18
How many chickens do you have for that size coop? ☺️
I am great at building but bad at drawing plans do you happen to sell the plan to this coop in a pdf file?
hahaha I'm the same way! I don't really have pans for them, I just draw something that looks like a child drew it just to help me know where I'm at, but I don't haver actual plans unfortunately
what was the roofing material you used on the coop itself? she cut it with ease looked like maybe a vinyl material??
yes, these roof panels are from Home Depot and are vinyl PVC. We are able to cut them with some scissors.
@@BockBockBouquet Ty so much for the reply., I’m loving your channel
Where did you get the large fenced in kennel, please?
We have our Amazon affiliates link to it in the description under chicken run 😊 They come in many sizes too
@@BockBockBouquet Thank you!
Is that siding from Lowe’s ?
No experience my ass 😂😂😂 man has every tool possible
I borrowed my in-laws impact driver and a couple of other tools. I now have my own mitersaw, skilsaw, drill, impact driver, straight edge guides. This really was our very first project ever and had never touched a drill before Covid. I work in the dental field, but during the shut down, I got curious and decided to give this a try.
@@BockBockBouquet If that’s the case you are a genius my friend
what camera did you film with?
For this particular video, we filmed with a GoPro camera (it us currently on sale $50 off regular price on this link) amzn.to/2LZOfeu
But on most of our other videos we film with a Canon M50, here is the link for that one amzn.to/2LZHPMJ
Yer father still loves you Colby!!!!
Hu??? Why do you say that?
@@BockBockBouquet ..movie quote
Adam sadler movie..i ferget the name...
Oh lol!
Do u need to insulate the walls?
Definitely not in our climate. Wild birds survive the winters. You could do it if you wanted, but we did not need to insulate.
@@BockBockBouquet Do u still get really cold winters? Im building one but not sure if i should insulate it 👍
How many chickens does it house?
We were able to house up to 20 with some bantam breeds, but 15 large chickens with a little room for more.
How many chickens do y’all fit in this coop?
we are currently housing 17 chickens in this one, we also have bantams in our flock so we could fit a little more than that if needed.
How much did this cost you?
Hmmmm, we didn't keep great track of all the receipts, but I would say it's about $500-$600, but that is much less than you can find out there for a finished coop comparable to this one =]
I love this coop but worry about the run. Any animal can dig underneath.
We have a predator apron squirt around the whole outside of the run, 2 ft all around of thick garden wire fencing. We just covered it up with mulch
RIP camilla 🐔
Sorry for your loss ❤️
When punks grow up they raise chickens and grow their own food. Probably the most punk thing one can do 🤙🏼
😁😁🙌🏼
You built it off the ground and used screws. Those are two very important factors.
Kelly is a beautiful girl.

Not sure what you mean
Beautiful
Thank you very much!!! We are so happy with our custom built coop!
