Brad deserves more views. Not too many people who seem as happy, friendly, and genuine as him. Love the videos!
@TiffanySmith-ed2lj lmao the fact you think he has time for that
Should use vinyl or linoleum for floor. Doesn’t absorb moisture from bird waste , can be hosed out. The wood floor will start to smell and can’t get rid of the smell once it’s soaked in
I use the James Hardi 4 x 8 sheets of concrete siding with an exterior paint… I hope that works
I love it brad! It reminds me when I built my chicken coop. Here’s some ideas for you brad that I did on my coop. I have cameras in my coop to watch my chickens from anywhere. I used heavy duty metal screen called hardware cloth for the run. I also have a 50 gallon barrel of water that is on a circulation pump so the water doesn’t stay stagnant or freeze in the winter. And I remember you saying in a passed video about the electric door. Man that was the best thing I could have done. I went with a company called run chicken. Worth every penny. Can’t wait to see the finished product! 👍🏼
I like the idea about having a camera on the chickens and your circulating water… Keep the tips coming👍
Talking about return material, i built my two sons a clubhouse using material from a convenience gas station. I asked the job boss if they had extra wood. He took me to pile and take what i needed, but leave 20 2x6's, they are for his house. Thats the day i found out job sites get charged for extra wood to finish workers projects.
Eugeno is a beast! Great guy to have on your team!
Brad is one of my favorite you tuber now. I have learn a lot from him about building houses. It always a good day when Flair and Brad post on the same day
Thank you so much for your kind words… That means a lot❤️👍
@@BradtheBuilder it is the truth, you keep it light, fun, but informative
@@BTarpley805 thanks👍
in your screen area, put in a small chest high access door, so you can quickly throw in table & garden scraps. (with racoon proof latches) that way you dont have to go all the way in to quick feed.
I like it👍
Your good friend Flair needs to take some lessons not many people take in consideration as I mean an animal usually needs twice as much room as they think. Just something to keep in mind, not saying you not just wanted to throw that at there to the masses. Love your craftsmanship
Let Flair know
Brad you should get several round wood post to put inside and outside the chicken coop to make perches and you should put up a couple motion censored flood lights on corners of the chicken coop that will come on when a varmint walks by so it scares them off and you should put a small piece of sheet metal around the bottom of three sides of the screened chicken porch that goes in the ground several inches to help keep varmints from trying to dig into the chicken coop.
You’re going to see all that in the final video walk-through👍❤️
@@BradtheBuilder Ook cool
I see your video is back.
That's going to be one fancy Chicken Palace !
I hope it’s not too nice to wear. My wife thinks I should be sleeping in it.
If anyone can do it you can I think its a little high end fur most of us. Awesome build!
You are going to like it
Being that chickens fly up to find a place to roost, I'm not sure if the ceiling fan would be a good idea. They might get chopped up. Just a thought. : )
Oh…? I am putting in a window mound
Brad,
Good looking chicken coop .
Are you raising any meat chickens for yourself??
Just a suggestion, you can buy a couple of calves at a livestock auction and graze them for a year then butcher them , also a pig to, then get
4 deep freezers and you will be stocked for a year +
Then once your pond gets established you’ll have fish too . Your grocery bill will be considerably less ,
If you do the math of the cost to buy all the meat at the grocery store vs butcher your own you will save around 1200,00 dollars,
And it’s grass fed beef and pork, and a lot better tasting,,
Anyway just a suggestion
Good luck 🍀
I really like the way you’re thinking… We’re trying to do just that, but we’re going at it a little slower Oceanpoint yes we are raising meat chickens as well.
My boys have been doing that all summer with the chicken tractors only feeding them organic food.
Glad to see it back. Sorry for pointing out Flair's address. I see it's now blurred out.
Thank you for doing that!👍
I don't think Flair will be in a big hurry for the marina, at least not until he gets the pond to hold water!
I know I’m a little bummed. I was looking forward to getting the marina started soon.
Very nice Brad. Can’t wait to see it finished.
Coming up real soon
Brad you have to multiple levels to the roost. That will set the pecking order. You will need the appropriate size board for them to roost on. Too big or small it can cause problems with their feet. I like this coop gonna be super cool!!
Is it important to have different levels? Because some people are telling us keep it at the same level so there is not a pecking order established… I’m confused.
@@BradtheBuilder chickens need a pecking order. Chickens use the pecking order to establish who in the flock is more dominant. While the idea of the pecking order may seem violent, it can help keep order in the coop. Without a hierarchy, birds will constantly fight or squabble for access to mates, food, water, or roosting places.
@@SGTshankem thanks for the tip. I’ll definitely tell my wife and son to raise a few of the bars.👍
He got that backwards 5 de Mayo is just like the battle won. It just got really big in the US but September 15 going into 16 is the independence.
Thanks for clearing that up! I will tell Eugino
Looking good!!! Can't wait to see the finished product & chickens inside!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!!
Soon!
Hey Brad, ALWAYS 💕 your build updates!
👍😎
Love your work Brad, I need that Polaris mountain sled!
I’m only asking $8500
Don’t forget to put a floor in that is easy to clean
I’m on it
Wow!!!! Nicest chicken coop I have ever seen. You are going to have some happy chickens….
Thanks Theo we’re looking forward to having fresh eggs hopefully here in the next two months
That’s a fancy chicken coop Brad. I think it will double as the dog house when you get in trouble 😂😂😂
How do you know my hidden gameplay?😜
Did you get any tips from Andrew about how to protect them from the varmints that will be after them ?
My nephew put chain link fence wire under the edges so raccoons and other things could not dig their way inside.
He has seen raccoons, foxes and bobcats run through his property all times of the day and night.
We ran about 8 inches of steel into the ground underneath the entire perimeter of the chicken coop
Absolutely going to be one awesome chicken coop great build looking 👀 sharp
😎👍
Looking good.
Hey Brad,your Chickens are lucky girls to have a Chicken Palace for their fluffy butts🤭.
A lot of people lay down Linoleum on the floor so the poop doesnt stick to the floor!
JO JO IN VT 💞
I’m always looking out for my chickens butts😜
Looks good sir👍👍
Love your videos brad you have to get flair to make one of these chicken coops
Tell Flair that! 😎😜
Like I told flair if your building a floor and not using a dirt floor your gonna need water proofing due to chicken poo and cleaning
I put down the James Hardie concrete siding, which should hold up really well
😂 I gotta crawl to get into mine, I like that design much better
Cedar doesn't last in ground/concrete contact. Fortunately the cedar was about a foot thick.
We wrapped it in plastic, which should help protect it, long-term
Would that reclaimed wood survive outside and on the water if you used it for a boat house?
It would deteriorate a lot faster than the new concrete siding… but it would look really nice and a Flairs planning on a 20 year building
Good Job
Thanks for watching
We never got to see the finished state of the bus.
Go through some of my previous videos and you’ll see the finished bus tour
👍
That coop is nicer than a studio is San Francisco lol
I’ll rent it out to you… Like cheaper than San Francisco prices?😜
I wanted those nesting boxes but the wife said no dice so I had to get the cheaper ones
Let me talk to your wife… I got your back
Awesome video as always Brad featuring my cutie Nate 💋. You did what you said and are getting Nate 💋 in more video's 🎉
I told you I would ❤️
@@BradtheBuilder awesome 💋🎉
Your perches need to be about 1.5" in diameter. They need something to grab onto. I started with handrail but they were having trouble moving around because it's only like 1-3/8ths" They say not to use 2x4 because it collects poop. So I ended up with 2x2 and the hens seem to like it. They can hop up and turn around without slipping off.
I started with a fenced run but as they got older they started screaming all of the time. So now they roam the backyard. We have hawks, owls, and eagles so their life is endangered. They go in the coop at night so owls really aren't a problem. I doubt the eagles would land in the backyard but I have seen hawks land and trigger the motion detectors on the security cameras. I live in town and can't have them screaming and bothering the neighbors. If would be a shame if they did get smoked but I can buy more and start over
Thanks for the tip on the roosting bars… Isn’t it crazy how many predators are trying to take the chickens out?
@@BradtheBuilder I live in town and have a 6' vinyl fence, and I still have to trap raccoons, opossum, and rats. That's the crazy part. It's like they're all attracted to the chickens.
@@fauxque5057 wow! 🙆♂️
No screen!! You need rabbit wire
I use the wrong term it’s not screen, it is 1/4” hardware cloth
Hey Brad sorry I've not been commenting alit lately. Been our house into our name we just bought the house we were renting.needs work to make it OK for my disibility. Wish you lived closer lol.
If you need any building tips to help make your house wheelchair accessible please reach out to me
This looks like a one bedroom house with nothing else for someone to sleep in
Shhh🤔. don’t give my wife any ideas… I could end up in this thing🙆♂️
Why was it deleted earlier
Had flairs address showing.
A 160 Sq Ft Chicken House; LOL. Thats bigger than my first appt'nt.
I don’t think the chickens know how good they have it? 🤔
I assume the 3000 is just for materials. I am sure Eugenio doesn't work for donuts and eggs lol.
I wish you did work for donuts and eggs… That was just for the materials
Definately the strongest coop in Nebraska..lol
Hopefully it’s tornado proof
What happened? The video disappeared for a few hours!🤷🏻♀️ For Flair's marina, you could also use wood from the old buildings on hid property.🪵 Huge confidence that it'll look amazing!😲 I can't wait for the next episode!🎉
Had to take it down because Flair’s address showed up in the video
@@BradtheBuilder oh crap! I'm really glad you guys caught it!💙💙
@@mamawnamidreviews9978 me too
Flair has enough chickens that you can get his eggs for free
True… but my wife wants to have her own chickens
Really nice I got one I get a lots of eggs❤😂😂
Stranglehold Outdoors
Must have two doors, otherwise it’s not a coupe.
We have a big door in the front and a small little door for the chickens to come in and out of… There’s your two
Those chickens have a nicer house than me 💀
We went a little crazy
@@BradtheBuilder lol
What the heck happened to the first video lol I was lile half way through it
Flair's address was showing.
You mean they are building , you ain’t doing a dam thing
Shhh! 😜
You lost a few views redoing this... I already watched this... then you like post it again
Sorry about that
brad thats the nicest wood I ever saw on a chicken coop it looks amazing
I don’t think she’s gonna blow over anytime soon
