Congratulations on your news of the new family member. Very excited for you both! The coop looks great however, I will caution you, especially since you live out away from the city predators, can definitely get into that coop with chicken wire raccoons will just reach their little hand right through it and grab your birds and pull them through the wire and other animals can break it. I would strongly suggest you use hardware cloth, especially on the bottom 2 to 3 feet as a skirt to protect your birds. Thanks so much for sharing. I love watching your videos.❤
@@HoneybeeHollowGardens not really since I’m in Sweden and we don’t have the same varieties. I do have a swedish breed called Silverudds blå that lay green eggs which is funny to me since they’re actually called ”blue”. I’ve been more focused on getting a colorful egg basket than on certain breeds so my flock is a mix of wyandotte, silverudds blå, marans etc.
I love the esthetics of your structures. Much prefer that look to the sleek, modern cookie-cutter commercially available. Only question I have is do you have raccoons in SC? That chicken wire would not keep them out. They can also reach their clever hands through and grab a chicken snoozing too close to the wire. We went to quarter-inch hardware cloth after a few intrusions.
You are so innovative!! I love the unique chicken coup. It really matches all your other builds, like your trellis ❤ tell your sweet wife that I'm missing her videos and I hope she's doing well. Blessings From Florida!! I pray y'all have a great Christmas ❤
I'm pretty sure they're native, but they are prolific. They are the dominant species in most forests around here. Granted we don't have much old growth left. They die out when the oaks take over
Another great project. How exciting to have a new addition to the homestead. Bless you both.
Gonna be a lil forager!
Love your videos. Congratulations on your baby. A life changing experience for the good.
Thank ya! We can't wait!
Perfect! Thank you!
Thanks Wil 👍🎄
That’s some coop! Looks great sir. And congratulations, welcome to the parenthood group. We welcome you with open arms.

Thank ya!
Yeah someone else mentioned the chicken wire situation, I reckon I’ll just board it over I have plenty of scrap wood
WOW! 😮 That chicken coup is going to be epic!
Hoping so, seems I may have to board up the bottom though folks are saying predators get through their chicken wire
I love the sound of the train.
Nice coop! Congrats on the baby as well. Y’all r going to be great parents ❤
Many a thanks!
Raccoons can also master that chicken door fastener
You need 2 fasteners not near each other ;)
Yeah I can throw another one on the top, that one is really tight though I think it’d have a hard time
Dude!! You got some mad skills. Nice edit. Merry Christmas.
Thanks homie, Merry Christmas
Nice Turkey Tails!
Drank em that night!
chaga in coffee! Best thing for your immune system!
I’ve never found any chaga unfortunately we don’t have many birch trees if any
Hi Will! Great job on the chicken coop. What kind of chickens are you getting?
I'm not sure, I'd like to help preserve an heirloom variety. Do you have any suggestions?
@@HoneybeeHollowGardens I do lol Blue Laced Red Wyandotte. They are just gorgeous to me.

Yeah we do, didn’t think they’d be able to infiltrate.. may have to board the whole thing up if we have that issue

@@LoriHakaMyHeartCries thank you! You’re in luck though cause she posted today !
I was goin to ask the same question. Also coyotes are also known to rip through chicken wire.
@@WelcometomyCapeCodlife seems chicken wire is pretty daggum useless, eh?
Are Sweetgums considered an invasive in your area?
