I've been making ladders for my chickens and have been cutting expensive planks and squared wood, but I would never have got the idea of just taking natural sticks for the ladder, which sounds more logic. Thx for the idea and I love their obstacle course. Truly worthy for a bird descended from jungle animals!
I swear, those chickens are treated better than *some* people treat their children. If I were a chicken, I'd want to come and live at your house! LOL 👍😊
I love your shoots and ladders for your chickens. I appreciate your love and kindness towards them and you how to take care of them. The chickens really enjoy the shoots and ladders and it is fun to watch them have a good time! Great video!
I am glad to see the chickens using the rope wrapped perches. I just ordered some to use in my toolshed to coop conversion. This also gives me ideas for the run once it's built.
Nice ideas. , in my run I found that the ramps caught the droppings, so I used long sticks on the sides to make latter's. Much cleaner dear😊. Agape love ❤️ 😊
You have provided your hens with a palace. We’ll done, especially if you created it cheep. So much to do and little rewards along the pathways. I will incorporate some of your designs in my chicken run. Great Job Chicken Dad.
Your video just popped up and I was immediately attracted to your cool looking chicken house! I love these ideas, I'm going to build something cool for my chickens, esp as we get closer to winter, they'll need some place to hide if they're cold and play without being exposed to the outside where hawks/predators can get them. Love the use of the twigs/sticks for "steps"...
Awesome and inspiring!!! Are your post secured with cement? Hopefully you didn't mention it but I have to rewatch this anyways lol. Also what type of shrubs do you have that are surviving the chickens? If serenity was a video...🥰
Yes they are because we have heavy snowfall in Minnesota so I had to secure that with cement into the ground. We’ve tried growing different plants in there and they eat them so we just swap them out every once in a while and sometimes I put chicken wire around them so they can’t fully eat them. You should check out the other video where we built a three season porch off the backside of the chicken run for more details :-) thanks for watching.
Yes you are right, they do love it when we talk to them because they always have some fun kind of replies for us. The chickens lay A total of four eggs a day. Thanks so much for watching.
Did you have trouble with the chickens not wanting to go into the coop to roost at night? I want to add vertical space in my run but I'm afraid they will try to roost there instead of their coop
Absolutely, every once in a while, they’ll sleep in the hot house, but they often and most of the time sleep outside. I wrapped the chicken run in plastic in the winter to keep the wind chill down. You can see all of those videos in our playlist called Minnesota chickens. Thanks for watching. :-)
Do you have a detailed video of when you were building it? How you installed the snack bowls? I’m a new chicken mommy and mine have just reached 17wks. What should I be feeding them? How often? Etc. thanks in advance

Those are the happiest "little girls"..🐥🐥🐥....you are such a great Chicken Parent🐤🐣.....I love the names you gave them....Question::how often do you change the material on the floor....do you ever sweep it all out....it seems that would be a big job....also how big is your structure....can't really tell from the video.....I'm asking because I have long wanted a few chickens but I want to make sure they'll be happy, heslthy and clean so I'm trying to learn all I can.....thanks😁
We just got the chickens the spring so we have not changed the flooring in the chicken run yet. The technique that we went with was mulch and pine shavings on top of dirt/earth. So far what happens is that it turns into natural compost and blends into the earth so we haven’t had to clean it out yet.

This entire new addition to the chicken run is fabulous and delightful.

That's lovely !
I love your shoots and ladders for your chickens. I appreciate your love and kindness towards them
and you how to take care of them. The chickens really enjoy the shoots and ladders and it is fun to

Your entire backyard is so relaxing! I gotta give my chickens some entertainment. They have a swing. They just started swinging yesterday. Lol.

What an inspiration! Love your project; makes me think what can I do to make happy hens.
Omg! I love your yard and your chicken. Great ideas. Definitely want to replicate your run in the future. ❤❤❤
That's really cool.
Lucky chickens, they’re well cared for.
Thanks for posting !
Your mushroom houses are beautiful. In p.a. I've never seen them so large. Beautiful pond too

Great idea!! I’ll have to see what I can do with my scrap pieces of wood, thanks for sharing!
Thank you, this is great!!
Adorable and so sweet. They sound happy
They are such beautiful and loving friends!
I like how you made the chicken ladders with sticks/branches so round and they can grip well.
I am stealing some of your ideas for my Chicken runs!

Can I move into the chicken coop?!😂 They look like the happiest chickens EVER!🤩👍🏻
There’s room 😊
This is such a cool set up! I would be concerned about the chickens trying to peck the string lights though…? Have you had any problems with that?
No, they can’t reach them.
Brilliant! Love it!
Awesome, I love there home!!!
That is soo funny, I live in the brutal desert and can't do this setup
Very cool! Now you've got me all worked up, to spoil my girls....lol
That’s a dream coop!!
Love this!
Great idea! I know what I’m doing for my girls tomorrow:)
Very cool
Did you wrap the 2x4 with rope yourself or buy them somewhere?
I did
That is super cool
It’s awesome
They sure are chatty! I think they like it when you talk to them. How often do they lay eggs? Keep the videos coming!

Lovely! What size is the run?
I think it’s like 11 or 12‘ x 13‘

I noticed the perches are wrapped in twinning did you have any problems with red mite?
No problem
Must be hard to keep clean?
Why are some of the roosts covered in jute/rope?
More comfortable grip
Did you cover them yourself or buy them like it?
Chickens will roost in trees
🤦🏽♂️Did not realize how spoiled chickens can be
