I’m make this! As we are retirement homesteaders, we need to make farming as easy as possible on our bodies so we can do this lifestyle as long as possible! Thank you!
WOW! This is awesome! You know, you could make a nice business for yourself building these aluminum chick shaws for people. I know I would buy one from you! Excellent example of improving an already great product! Kudos!!!
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL AS IT IS INGENIOUS, RH!!! the chickens seem quite secure & happy, the youngins'as well! where are you located? i hope you share with us your experience with the BREESE CHICKEN BREED, YES?!!
Thanks for watching and for your kind words. We are in Michigan and we do have quite a few videos on the 🇺🇸 Bresse, we love the breeding so much and have been helping people get there start in on this breed for 6 months now.
Thanks to your video I have a Chickshaw in the works that will hopefully be just like yours. What brand of door opener is this? I'm only finding ones that open by sliding the door panel vertically up which won't work. And do you have an issue with hens sleeping in the laying box? I see that the Best Nest Box offers their "original Perk Popper" to help prevent this. Just wondering what your experience has been. Thanks.
Thanks for watching, we are in Michigan so mostly 0-95 degrees Fahrenheit. I have close to 60 birds in it right now and I would say that’s about max. I have a Chickshaw without the nest box and have had almost 100 grow outs in it.
Thank you Dawn, my goose never goes inside even when I had a ramp. It stinks when you want to move them because you need to catch the goose but if someone try’s to even go up to the coop the goose is on them. He does a great job of keeping a lookout all day and night.
Thanks for subscribing, this one was about $2400 in supplies. I am not sure what the wood one would be, I know I priced it out in 2019 and it was around $1200 I think
I just built a traditional chicken coop. I don’t live in as harsh of a state as far as winter goes . The birds are ok living in that in the winter time ? Is there anything special that you need to do for them in winter months for them to survive the cold ?
I have had hens in it down to -10 degrees Fahrenheit but they aren’t laying eggs at that point. Putting straw bales around the outside definitely helps when you get below freezing
@@The.Recreational.Homestead thank you for responding. This will be my next coop that I build . It looks so much easier than what I did and much easier to move around the land . Thanks again
Good question, at 105 they are in it and under it to stay cool in the shade. I don’t love that part because they end up pooping on each other but they seem to do just fine. I would like to add a different source of shade at some point.
What kind of climate do you live in? Worried the metal might get too hot for the chickens. This is my first year with AMerican Bresse Chickens. Only got 6 at the time. Then couldn't find any more. Later I will be gathering eggs. They are curious birds. They don't like my feet sometime go after them. I am still not sure if they will be aggressive odd or different personalities. Not really mean they however are only 3 months old. Kind of like them because they seem different.
I am in Michigan and last week it was 95 with high humidity and the birds all hung out in or under the chickshaw. I did the cedar roosts so they wouldn’t be hot or cold. The 🇺🇸 Bresse is a great breed and if you give them enough room they are not aggressive at all.
I love the idea of roll out nest box.

Great improvements on the Chick shaw. This looks a lot lighter than the original plan. Great Idea on the automatic door.
Thanks Zola, the automatic door is about $260 but I am sure it’s saved enough hens to pay for its self

Just awesome 🐓🐓🐓 Wish I could take a class from you and learn how to build one!
Well done
Proud of you
Good stuff! “Run chicken” makes a great automatic door. Avoid the cheap stolen copy from China as the door I hear jams. Welding aluminum is difficult.
Where can I buy the automatic coop door?
Wow this is the most practical chicken trailer ever made.
Thank you!
do you have plans i could buy for this?
This thing is outstanding!
Thank you so much
How much did this cost to make ?
What kind of door is this?
Great job thats awesome!!
Thank you and thanks for taking the time to watch my video
What are the dimensions of this unit?
Brilliant! Great job!
Thank you and thanks for watching
Wow! Pretty nice
Thanks
Fantastic!
Thanks
Can you give a parts list for the automatic door? I would love to incorporate that into the unit that I am building.
Great improvement. I’m gonna see if I can get s as me use aluminum
Thank you
Do you have a parts list for the Chickasaw?
Google
Justin Rhodes Chickshaw
I think the site is abundant pastures

“There’s poop in there!” 😂
Says the boy I have been telling to stay out of the ChickShaw for 3 years now 😂😂😂

Cool design...What type of aluminum did you use?
Any idea on the weight of the whole thing?
Wow what did it cost to build? Great tool.
yes how much for materials
$2400 for all the materials
Excellent design. What is your climate like in the winter? How many birds does yours hold?

Loved seeing your aluminum version. Looks very light and easy to move. Does your goose climb inside without the ramp?

I don’t think my other post went through. New subscriber here.
What is the cost 💲 difference between the metal and the wood version ?

Would the metal get too hot in the summer?
It seems to be ok but that is why I used wood perches because I thought the metal would be hot or cold
Will they cook alive on 120°+ weather while inside? If not how much do you think they'll last?
