Building the ULTIMATE CHICKEN COOP for our Backyard Chickens! 🐔

- It's a huge 20ft x 12ft CHICKEN COOP -- here's how we built it to spoil our chickens!
This year we decided to go BIG with our backyard chickens by building them a huge walk-in chicken coop. We have nesting boxes, a roosting tree, gorgeous plants, an egg basket hanger, and an automatic chicken door. We've been raising chickens for about 10 years, and have always had small coops, but this year we searched around for the best chicken coop ideas and came up with this DIY homemade design. We built it from scratch without a plan, and we love how it turned out. Join us in this video as we complete our chicken coop project and give you a chicken coop tour!
Hi there! 👋🏻 We live on a 1-acre farm right in the middle of the busy city of Phoenix, Arizona! Our names are Kevin & DaNelle, and we moved here in 2009, when our kids Ethan & Lydia were just 6 & 4 years old 🥰 Over the years we've raised goats for milk, chickens for eggs, built a fish/swim pond, planted fruit & nut trees, and grew a large garden full of veggies. We've also raised a bunch of other animals like pigs, sheep, turkeys, geese, peacocks, and more!
Now that our kids are away at college, we have settled into doing what we love most -- which is raising & breeding goats ethically to improve genetics. But don't worry, we'll forever love our goofy pet goats like Luna the herd queen & Willow the stump lover. We also still love raising chickens for eggs, gardening, tending to the fruit & nut trees, and growing fish in the pond. We use the fresh goat's milk to make cheese, butter, yogurt -- and we use that + everything else we harvest on our little farm to make delicious meals. Having a getaway from the busy world right in our backyard brings so much joy to us each day, and we hope it brings some to you, too. 🥰

You people know NOTHING about the needs of chickens..WHYYYY would I watch your video on raising goats??!!!
That is the most beautiful coop I've ever seen! It needs to be in a magazine!
Cathy Steenson I agree fancy coop where no chicks are to poop lol 😂
I agree
It looks so good
@Heather S Did you come to the comment section only to be a "negative nelly"? This is your 2nd comment about it. Am quite sure they know the chickens will poop & make a mess. 😁
It sure is! Love it and so will the chickens
love the coop only thing missing is water.
tiggercares maybe they’ll add it later?
@tiggercares omg yes, that was all I could think of throughout this whole video - where’s the water?
My thoughts too 🤷
Oh good, I’m not the only one! I’m honestly confused as to where the heck the water is!! 🤔🤷🏻♀️
I think the chickens waterer is outside of the coop, near the goat feeder.
Awesome chicken coop set-up! Now take a picture cause that'll never look thet good ever again!!! :)
Lol, right!
Such a gorgeous book - each shed is unique and inspiring, and I love all the tiny details Kotite features to help readers imagine how to create their own She Sheds th-cam.com/users/postUgkxe9yi0sulKgsp0VJJCIrLWWkvVqcU7LFR . The feature on Dinah's Rustic Retreat is like something from a fairy tale. It's really inspiring to see how creative all these ordinary people are in making beautiful and useful spaces on a modest scale.
Need to stop everything when Weed 'em and Reap uploads ❤️❤️
Yep
I did the same!!!
Rav Dc hell yah
Rav Dc same
Omg same
"Well, we discovered where to hang this -" "After only arguing a little bit." "Discussing, discussing . . . "
As someone who doesn’t know much about building, coopodoit was a lifesaver.
Be cool to see an update on how this build has held up and how it looks with the roof on. Also how the low nesting boxes worked - most people put them high to avoid rats and similar, so how did that go?
YESSS I've been waiting for this YESSS
Katy_38 P that is what I said when I saw it
The nicest chicken coop I've ever seen 🐔
Love the coop but where’s their water? They need a water fountain haha
6:49
Oh wait wait, guys let's see if she goes In the nesting box!
"I don't think she know what they are... yet."
Oh she knows, I told, I told her all about it!
"Okay."
You just made my day!😂😄😊
i quit the vid i was watching to watch this, love u Weed'em and Reap. ur definitely my fav youtubers
Finally your chickens aren’t homeless! 😂 it’s actually amazing and I love the look of it!
This was designed more for human aesthetics than the practical needs of chickens.
I thought the same. It's a chicken coup .
Although a beautiful structure, I cringed at a lot of things that are not recommended for chickens. I wondered how much research was done. Those wood chips are not absorbent and can damage chickens’ feet and lead to infections. 🙁
I thought the same too. I kept waiting to see the coop and then I realized it’s just a run. They tried though. And they seem like nice people.
as soon as i saw them lay those beautiful flowers down i was like. "huh.....okay.....?". don't see the point in all that when it's just a place for them to sleep
It is still their back yard I don’t think they want it to be ugly
What kind of protection will there be for the hens ? Incase, of high winds , hail, rain, predators ? Your coop is cute however, it should have more protection from the ground to the roof. Your nesting boxes should never be left on ground. Safety reasons for your hens.
love the new coop, I'm surprised there isn't some kind of water feature!
i was wanting to see something like that too.
Some type of water fountain would be most appropriate for these sophisticated ladies.🥰
So funny.. “didn’t you know this is a no poop coop”? Lol 😂
Christina Scott, oh, so that is the scoop. We need to be kept in the loop 🤣😂😂🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
I don’t understand why this video has thumbs down like there is literally nothing wrong with this channel it’s so genuine and friendly 😒💜
I already see problems with raccoons, snakes, and rats having easy entry. It's pretty, but not very functional.
Omg the chicken coop is literally so beautiful! Good job to all of you! Oh my gosh I hope you do something like this for the goats in the future ahhh! I love the paint and the antique feel in the coop 🐔 🐓
I’m obsessed with it!! It’s so antique and modern at the same time but!! It’s adorable!! U guys never let us down!! 😂❤️
Coop looking good, Kevin too! ;) Bright white roosting boxes is a nice contrast on the dark backdrop, and matches the little shelving unit too.Totally worth the wait to see it done in all the details!
Love it . Those of you asking about the water they have water outside of the coop by the milking station where the goats eat it can be seen in other videos . They have access to water all day as they are out roaming and go back in at night
Doesn't the feeder need to be where the roof is over it so that the feed does not get wet when it rains?
I always cheer up when I see a new update from my TH-cam family 💙
I have SUCH coop envy!! Once the poultry ban is lifted, here in California, we plan on having chickens. We cannot WAIT to get started!
In Australia we call that a chicken run. The chicken run goes next to the chicken coop. The chicken coop is an actual chicken house.
yes, we agree here in FLORIDA it's a pen or a run....I guess once the roof goes on the back half it will be an open shelter
I love everything about it, the old door and window etc,the flowes etc
These chickens have a more stylish home than I do
penguin 3.0 yes, their house is nicer than mine
Ok, now my chickens are getting a swing for Christmas.
Jennifer Duncan sane here
Your coop looks beautiful your so creative!!!!
Finally the chicken coop yay!!
OMG YASSS IM SO EXCITED
Same!
Everyone gangster till Weed'em and Reap uploads 😁😁😁
THE DESIGN OF THE LAYING BOX IS IMPRACTICAL. YOU NEED TO WALK ON CHICKEN POOP TO FETCH EGGS. THERE ARE OTHER DESIGNS THAT WOULD ALLOW YOU TO FETCH THE EGGS WITHOUT BENDING OVER AND OR WALKING ON CHICKEN POOP. BUT OVERALL, GREAT JOB GUYS ....THANKS FOR LOVING ANIMALS!!!
Don't they need a water dispenser too? I didn't see one is why I asked ...
if it rains. maybe you guys should make sure. The food don’t get food wet.should have something over the food
Beautiful coop! Those birds are going to have a field day tearing those flowers up! LOL!
My Grandparents had a Mulberry Tree inside Their Chicken Coop.. Was Beautiful, We Got Mulberries and Eggs and the Chickens Were Always Happy There..
Can you do more updates on this
I’m hipped
Yayyyyyyy
So they don't even have a coop? They just sleep outside in the run? That's not predator-proof or protected from the elements whatsoever...
Let the beautiful lady have her day. Home maker if I ever seen one. Quality goes in before the chickens.
I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!
Yass, I came as soon as my notification came!
Its so nice to have a backyard that large. Your coop is bigger than my backyard.
Y'all should call Country Living Magazine or send pictures. That's the best country coop EVER!
As soon as I saw the notification I rushed to watch it 🥰
I'm so excited to finally see the finished coop!! I love you guys so much!!
Love it!! Great job, fam!
Just want to say thanks for your videos, they make me so happy, bless you all and thanks from Sherwood Forest England 🏴
The aesthetic is amazing, I want to live there
Linnea Burkman me too; but, I'll wait until it gets air conditioning 😁😂😂🤣🤣
Did Eggbert get rehomed?? I didn't see him at all during this video. the chicken coop looks really good, maybe you could add more roosting areas though so they aren't on top of eachother too much!
Can't wait for your next video, love from englandd
Yep, eggbert got a new home because they didn't want a rooster cuz its noisy
Oh
He did, sorry! We mentioned it but didn’t show it. He was too loud for our neighbors.
@@Weedemandreap I can definitely believe you! 😂 Love your videos so much.
@@jellyace7864 how did I miss that...
Because of this video my mom bought us chickens.
You have to have the prettiest chicken coop on the planet. GORGEOUS I love it!!!
That’s the prettiest Chicken coop I’ve ever seen!!
Love it!!
It looks lovely! Good job guys.
This is definitely a luxury chicken hotel. But it's well done. The only things that are missing are an area for dust bathing and drinking water. I really like the roosting tree.
This a beautiful!!!!!! The only suggestion I would have it somehow move the nesting box so that you don’t have to go into the run to get the eggs and refill the the food and water
Finally this chicken coop gets finished! I’ve been waiting.
It looks like the nicest chicken coop i have literally EVER seen
Like 👍🏻👍👍
My old coop in Houston had a sign that read “Starclucks.” I had blue-egg laying hens.
Nice 👍🏻👍🌹❤️
Love it 😍
Haha everyone wants to put their 2 cents on how you should do it but this is literally amazing! You put soooo much thought and love into it! They are just jealous ;) This is the best!!!
IM SOOOO EXCITED FOR WILLOW BABYS EEEE THERE GOING TO BE SOO CUTE LIKE HER PLS BE PREGO WILLOW PLSSS LOVE YOU GUYS
The chicken coop is just sooooo gorgeous!
Great job, guys~
Da Nelle had such a great vision for this coop.
It's the prettiest chicken coop we've ever seen. You all have outdone yourselves and as soon as you get the roof up let us know so we can move in!
She is a good cheer leader .and Kaven doing all the work . Now Kaven come and do my chicken cubes.I love having the birds I am old and have no money and your bird look gorges!
I clicked as fast as I could
I love u guys ❤️❤️
This is the most beautiful chicken palace! I love it! ❤️ very lucky chickens!
Not have a chicken coop, but a Chicken Palace. It need to be in a how to build you own chicken coop magazine. It is beautiful.
Somebody LOVES their chickens. It's a huge step up and I dare say there is none to compare!
What about water? Kevin needs to make the wind mill into a fountain!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS IM SO EXITED I LOVE WEED "EM AND REAP
You guys should get a little farm dog to help around 😂💙
"And the flowers are still standing!" Classic!
You should paint "weed em and reap" on the roof of the nesting boxes
Yayy!
YESSS!!!!!💖
@@nancymontgomery8897 😃😄😜🤗😊
I was thinking that Too, Great Idea.
Finally it’s done. We have been waiting for so long lol. It turned out wonderful!
I LOVE IT, I am such a sucker for antique additions to new things!!! When the chicken was on that swing, I thought I would DIE from joy and amusement!! You all inspire me and my family SO much. My kiddos love watching everything but the birthing videos.ol
When I move I really wanna build one just like this. It’s so pretty and absolutely love it. I was waiting for this video of ages. ❤️🌸🌼
We would all love to see transformations and all things in this nature! Great content🦃
it is always nice to have a new coop.
Omg😲 Chicken Coop is better than my bedroom 😜🤣
I loved it,so beautiful.😍❤️❤️❤️
I am so proud of y’all for getting that done and by the way it looks fanomanal!
Lol it’s phenomenal
i’m so excited to see it
I love it! I'd add a little coffee table in there! I love drinking my coffee and smoking my meds with my chickens every morning (very therapeutic)!
I love ❤️ how you all work as a TEAM.cuz it’s true,” T-ogether E-verybody A-chieve’s M-ore” 💪🏻👍🏻
If I was still a little girl, I’d make the chicken coop into my playhouse!
Who thinks they should get silkies?!
LunaMoona 0129 they would have to build another coop. Silkies can’t be in with regular hens
SimplyPerfect ! Why? I have one silkie with mine but they are 4 months
@@simplyperfect7794 actually yeah they can. I don't have mine together for breeding reasons and cause my chickens never free range, but their chickens are only up at night, so during the day they can spread out and be away from each other
A lot of silkies and regular chickens live together though
LunaMoona 0129 how come your chickens don’t free range, is it because of predators?
Silkies in north america are the small bantams that are easily picked on by bigger breeds; get ayam cemani instead, they are readily available in the southwest, they are bigger and have more fibromelenosis.
Wow, that's one fancy chicken coop!!
Oh, for Pete's sake... Oh, and bless his heart.
I picture she would put a tiny diy waterfall in a cute little water trough for the chickens to have water
I was so excited after u posted it Instagram post! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a beautiful chicken sanctuary!!! 😍
This is probably the loveliest and coolest chicken coop i’ve ever seen! ❤️
Most of those plants are succulents animals don’t eat certain ones cause some are poisonous (I grow them)
I have tons of succulents in North, NORTH Scottsdale, where we still have dirt roads and horses. The rabbits, rats, and mice eat them down to bits. I would do mexican fence post with some artichoke agave, maybe tiny golden barrels. They don’t have the javelina in their yard so that’s good.
Whiskey and Cigarettes ik I meant to say some are poisonous not all
@@whiskeyandcigarettes6011 javelin..as in wild boar?
@@silasmonk2458 Technically peccaries, but yes.
What? Those are not succulents.
Its so nice and it look amazing and also i live ur vids❤️🐣
This is the most beautiful Chicken coop ever
Oh my gosh I Love it! Great job and how fun with all the Primitive Collectables. So Fun I know the🐔🐔🐔🐔 Will Love it.
