I would suggest that you spray the interior with a suitable paint to seal it. The chicken poop will eat through that wood really fast. I would also suggest that you put some metal flashing around the outside of the coop because rats will invade it very quickly and can chew through the wood in a night they are gonna go for the chickens and their feed. There are also some pneumatic door or window openers that you can buy for a greenhouse that will automatically vent the coop if it gets too hot.
Definitely need to put a window or 2 in the coop for them. don't want them in the dark all day every day in the winter
Plus it's better for them laying eggs they lay by the light cycle
windows and good airflow. chicks can handle the cold. just don't get them wet in cold.
The biggest purpose for those bars is to give the chickens somewhere to land so that they can get into the nesting boxes easier. Most peopel use the folding landing bar to keep the chickens from roosting on the landing bars (and making a huge mess in the boxes. Some folks use the folding bars on the nesting boxes to keep the hens or pullets out of them. They may begin using it as a resting spot as opposed to for laying, which means they will poop etc. in there. The bar is then used to teach them to get in and out of the nesting box, not for a roosting or a sleeping area.
Put your roost on hinges so that it will raise to clean under.. learned this the hard way.. also you can use sand for bedding which they will also pick the little rocks out of for their gizzard to help grind food... and easy to clean you can get a shovel sized kitty litter scoop off amazon. Makes life easier
I'd do the windows now. They help heat in the winter, and they need the light to do chicken things. Oh, also, pro tip? They slow down eating in winter, so artificial light helps them stay up longer to eat more to lay more.
Definitely should add glass windows in the front doors, ventilation for the summer and also can look in the window to check them out without risking them getting out
Yeah, on my chicken coop I have windows so they can see so it’s not dark and so I can check on them
Yes if it dark, sometimes they won't lay.
Plastic window. No need worry about breakage.
I know it’s kind of too late but I recommend putting linoleum on the floor of the coop because it makes it really easy to wipe the poop away and you can bleach it. I have like 60 chickens and ducks so I’m not talking out of my ass 😂
Flair you are getting it done. You have your pulse on what is going on. Look at the things you are learning and doing. What a video it will be when the chickens come strutting out of the “MERICA” door. You need to name the coup. Have your subscribers send suggestions.😊
Hey flair, totally thought of a great idea. use the back of the upper level for storage and the front upper level as the night entrance. I'm not sure if it's too tall or not but they could use that little door up top to fly in to the barn at night so no predators can get in
Flair needs to do a 24hr survival challenge with banjo at the new ranch cabin and only eat what you hunt or fish!!!
I'd prefer a 72 hour challenge. 24 hours is easy
The real work is done so banjo will be there for everything now.
Marvellous idea mate
Agree
It’s almost like he has already done this?
Best thing to do to make cleaning your coop easy, is to lay linoleum on the floor. Then you can literally just sweep it all out the door onto a tarp and haul it to your compost pile (for future garden 🤣)
I was thinking the same thing. I did it for my chickens and glad I did
I was going to say that I saw Grandpa Adler Farms and they put linoleum in their coop is a lot easier to clean out that way plus the water doesn’t get to the wood.
Doesn't even need a tarp, if hes got the skid loader there just right into the bucket! But yes thats what out garage was when we raised puppies and would put shavings down, would just push right out for the most part, you sometimes still gotta scrub but better that it soaking into the plywood in Flairs case
@@Tractors_Trucks_And_Pups My gosh, big "DUH" on my part. Of course, that's way better of an idea to use the skid loader's bucket.
Yo Flair, You should install a window or 2. Also maybe add an attic fan to have air circulation in the coop so you don't need respirators to clean it.
For chickens to lay eggs at the maximum they need 14 to 15 hours of sunlight a day, when you coop them you have to make artificial sunlight, you're going to need a few light bulbs and a timer, otherwise if your chickens are in the dark they're going to quit laying and you're going to have a hard time getting them started again.
no my chickens did it in the dark just fine 10-15 eggs a day from 14 hens
Very true !!
Add windows
Yup they can't actually see anythign with the door shut
its true (im a chicken)
Flair you need to basically build a screen door on the inside of the main doors, that way you can open the main doors and let it air out through the chicken wire (screen door) during the day
Fr!
I think you need venting. When winter comes I believe fresh air is more important than heat. I have done 2 winters with my birds and never gave them heat. I live on the Wisconsin Illinois border. First year they were outside in a chickshaw. I surround it with one layer of hay bales. No problems. Last year they went in our big barn. Again no heat and no deaths. Kept the turkeys outside too with no heat. Great video.
This was awesome. Definitely a window for ventilation not only for you and the smell but fresh air Incase all those chickens overheat the coop. I would have put some waterproof paint down on the floor and a quarter way on the walls for moisture control. Auto door should been higher with a ramp for protection of critters, cold drafts across the floor and snow. Security camera inside the corner so you can check on them live from your phone and may add some camera rolls to your videos. Sign above the chicken door that says BJ's hole. More swings LOL make your own. Mirrors and kids toys dangling to keep them from fighting or killing each other. Make your own Metal kabob skewers for hanging fruit and lettuce/cabbage to eat. I'd use the metal heating plates looks safer.
@flair the folding landing on the nesting box is so that you can close them at night so they don’t fill the nesting boxes with poo at night.
Nothings better than sitting back and watching a flair video
Harden your chickens off. It gets 20 below here in Alaska and chickens do fine in a well ventilated unheated coop.
Heat lamps and heaters burn down coops and waist electricity.
Only thing I'd do is widen their rooster bars. Exposed feet get frost bite. 2x4 flat works best. Warmers in water but no water in coop. To much humidity. Definitely windows and keep one open a bit all winter for good ventilation.
If you want to keep them laying put a light on a timer. Nothing much, Christmas lights work good. Min 12 hrs of light or give them a rest in laying over winter. It's better for the birds in the long run.
How we roll up here anyway 😉
Need windows for light right now. Need very good ventilation (moisture control), even in the winter. Might want to consider painting floor with deck paint, making it less likely to absorb any moisture. You should try raising the soldier flies. Would make good content. Birds are definately gonna roost in the rafters.
its a good day when flair post
It’s always good when flair post his vlogs, I swear I get relaxed in bed just to watch your vlogs, keep us entertained!!
you need to take part of the wall off to let air in and out but put wire up in that area to not lets stuff in on them. you can staple plastic up in the winter months to keep wind off but leave some open stops for air to come in and out. I have raised laying and game chickens all my life.
If it's not too late, lol, I'm not done watching, but you should buy a piece of rolled vinyl flooring for the floor of the coop. It glues down and will protect the plywood/osb wood floor from the chicken waste. It will make clean up a breeze
Windows, vents, and lights.
Add a single light and a glass window for airflow in the summer and a viewing window so the heat doesn’t get out when you open the main doors in the winter
Hey Flair! Someday could yall make a compilation of FARM ANINALS GONE WILD. It be great to see a whole video of the animals and all the times they went crazy! Keep up the awesome videos man!
Hey Flair, I suggest for an easy cleaning option you make two make shift openings that can latch and slide a piece of plastic or plywood right under each roost on each side. When you’re ready to clean pop it open, slide out the sheet clean it off and slide back in. Easy option for this. 🤷🏻♂️
Put linoleum under your roosting area, and then PDZ horse stall refresher. You can scoop their poop/mess out easier (it’s almost like cat litter) and it eliminates ammonia odor. This was a game changer for cleaning after our flock.
I think having the barn on the side of the road is a good idea because you just seen them in the trees so that means they have to walk through where the animals are and it gives them a chance to pick up all the flyer larvae what you bought them for you are basically forcing them to use more land than what they normally would which is good cuz it gives them more opportunities for food AKA fly larvae
most chickens go max distance 131yard as far as i know some go farther from their coop
Love watching flair at work when it’s slow!
The chickens need light, ventilation and a run. No heat lights. Adult chickens have a built in down coat. If you put a light in there with a timer you will get more eggs. A heated water source in the winter will be a big plus.
Good video guys. I think you should add a skylight and a couple of low watt lights(like night-lights) inside the chicken condominium, if it is too dark inside they will not want to go in.
A small solar-powered intake/exhaust fan on the inside of one of the vents near the peak of the roof to improve the air flow would probably also help improve the air quality inside.
Just a couple of ideas to improve the comfort level for the chickens👍🤠‼
Flair always coming through with the best content
Thank you Andrew, glad you took my advice to build that chicken coop 😂😂😂
Egg output is determined by hours of light. You will need lights on a timer in the coup for them to go in the evening, say till 9pm. Plus it will help coax them in during the day to lay eggs in the nesting boxes. Air circulation will help keep ammonia from waste low as well
Cant wait to get back In the stand when that cold front hits!!! Going to try and kill some honkers tomorrow, and then Saturday it’s right back to my climber. You should try some climber bow hunting videos, best of luck! Love the content as always man keep it up!!
Hey Flair great video once again! I don't know if you touched on this and I missed it but a big thing for any chicken coop is ventilation.
And now I feel like what you need to do is make the trees on the other side of where their houses where they currently are at in the video better for them to make them want to go over there more often instead of right behind the coop
Flair!!! Love the farming vids. I know you are super busy already, but you could make another channel Flair Farms or Beef Cake Farms. Do strictly farm stuff. Keeping up with feeding, bedding, chickens eggs. It’s so much fun to watch!!!!
Flair, I had 25 or so chickens in a 10x10 coop just like this for a few years. I really recommend putting in at least 1 window and some sort of exhaust fan to keep the dust and poop fumes out. A few things that I didn’t do that would help you. Good luck!
Get one of those EcoFlow Battery banks with a solar panel to run lights and heat lamps. They sponsor a bunch of farm channels
They need light. Windows, best would louver style with a crank. Rv type window. For winter I would suggest a solar dusk to dawn light that has a wire to have the solar panel outside and light inside. You might have to hide the other coops to have them only using the one. The nesting box is usually put the bars up at night to prevent roosting and back down in the morning. They will lay eggs in the morning so when you collect, put them back up for evening. Good luck
Please add windows and some light source 💡especially for in the winter❄️, they need light to live, and love the Channel btw keep up the great work!
Thanks for the feedback Expect more videos soon Send a direct message I have something special for you🎁🎁
Flair don’t put shavings, put real fine sand down on the bottom and you can use a popper scooper to CLEAN the floor. They will also pick around in it and it will keep it super clean.
@Flair hey there bud, my sister in law raised her own bunch as well and they too ordered a huge shed to be delivered. She put electricity to her coup; and put in heating lamps but also an old heated blanket that my wife was going to donate. My sister in law noticed a huge draft due to the wind/snow and the direction the door faced when she opened it. So her boyfriend put in 2 half walls mayne 3-4ft just to protect the chickens a bit from the wind etc when she opened the doors to collect eggs and behind them is where she laid the blanket, gave them a warm zone. Shes done it the past 5 yrs with many chickens and so far so good. Oh also she put weather stripping around the doors to help keep the cold out. The door you put in is fantastic, but can it be forced and lifted???? Because raccoons will rip off a trash can lid, so im hoping that door cant be lifted. You may have to put a piece of wood nailed to the shed to ensure it stays shut. Also double check your doors that they cant be pryed a bit and they cant squeeze in because she had that problem too, until her boyfriend adjusted it and made a tighter seal. As always I am loving the videos, and cant wait for deer hunting, heck any hunting really. You guys take care of yourselves and we will catch you all on the next video.
The rails on the front of the nesting box set up are roosts. If you don't want the chickens in the storage loft maybe tack up some chicken wire. You could clip one of the wings to keep them on the ground if they fly where you don't want them to be.
You should add a window of some kind with a reinforced screen for ventilation. And if you want a fan to circulate the air better, you should maybe get a solar powered one so that you don’t have to worry about running cords.

Great idea for keeping the chickens safe and warm flair👍but the chicken wrangling was hilarious 🤣🤣 I like it when Ralph gets riled to!! Great video!!
What about a couple of little Dome skylights to let some light in there.
Maybe a closable in winter, exhaust fan to let the chicken's stink out when you're in there cleaning or feeding or collecting eggs.
If you have a chicken that is broody/trying to hatch, put them in a small space with no nest or eggs for about 4-7 days to break them. Or, leave them in the small coop with some eggs and they will hatch in 21 days. Love your content!
Heats actually bad in the winter because it will cause moisture and that is harmful. Actually, you gotta get some drafts going above their perches.l for ventilation. Moving air will keep them safe. They are like those wild birds you see flying about in the winter, they’re equipped for the cold.
Here is a tip flair if you don’t want chickens fighting about who gets the highest roosting pole make them all the same height.
Shouldn’t wait til spring to add windows, they need light in there throughout the day, it’s dark in there 24/7 right now. Nice coop! I bought a shed already flipped into a chicken coop for $3500 , nesting boxes , roosting pole, storage area close off by another door, and it had a built in egg door so you just have to open it to grab eggs!
you need to make a roof vent for the smell and ammonia that the chicken poop will create. also adding a fan or two to move air in the summer time and possibly in the winter time will be a great addition .
Get lights on a timer and run them for 16 hrs in the winter time to keep the egg production up
you should put a wire wire about 4 ft after walking in so u can open the double doors and they not run out and u can store the feed to the left but stop the wire wall before it gets to chicken sliding door
Idk why but them holding the chickens waiting for that little door to slowly raise was the funniest thing for whatever reason.
For the waters you could buy some type of heated water bowl for the winter and to save space with the automatic stuff you can put the container up in the loft and have a pipe that runs down to water them and feed them
Should of had the Rocky theme playing when Banjo was chasing the chicken. That would make him Rocky and Flair Micky. Could see if Banjo is as fast as greased lightning.
A submersible 5gallon aquarium heater in the water works great to keep it from freezing up during winter. It may also help to give them supplemental lighting to keep them laying. Both can be powered by a cheap solar panel setup.
Types of videos I love. Love to see the farm content. SHEWWWWWWW
As long as the chickens have their feathers, you won't need supplemental heat. Just a way for the birds to get out of the wind which you have accomplished. Remember, people in Canada have chickens and they do fine over the winter.
Set your waterer up on 2×4a laid flat. It will keep your birds from kicking woodchips in the water
Should add the horse stall mat, the rubber mat to the floor. Keep the poop from seeping into the wood. Plus add insulation to the floor for the winter… then for deep cleans you can just pull them out and hose them off..
You need lights on a timer. Egg laying productivity is dependent on number of hours of light exposure each day. Also, chickens don't see well in the dark. They'll just sit around and won't be able to find the food and water if you keep the shed closed with no light getting in.
you should spray wood sealer so the wood dose rot away with the cleaning and helps prevent the shit from sticking. and put some attic vents for air circulation. and some solar light too so you can see when tour inside.
You should But one or two little fans in the roof to help keep the chicken dust down. It will also add a small air flow during the hot days so the chickens don't overheat.
So I’ve trained my chickens to the sounds of the mealworms. Whether its the bag or a bucket. If you shake it every time you feed it to them, they will then run every time they hear it. It’ll make gathering them easier
We put plastic down then the cedar shavings on top. When it's time to change grab a corner fold to center and throw in the garbage. Super quick and a time saver.
Give it a try.
🤘🔥
Should build a wall divider and use it for two species of birds cut in a second door or build a door on the middle wall divider
You need to put mirrors in side some large one chickens love them and the roosters will fight each other threw the mirrors and is so funny . Keep of the good work
Flair, the editing dept of beefcake editing is fire! Love the comedy added in on your vlogs :)
Build some plywood skirting on the bottom like 12” to 16” tall with 2x6 angled downwards between the studs
It’ll keep the manure and shavings out between the studs making it easier to clean
I think you need to create a live steam from inside the new coop. We need to see old BJ with his ladies. Think BeekCake Construction LLC needs to add a windows in the new coop as well.
Man love the new chicken coop. You should but some pipe wall U brackets/pipe straps and few long wood dowel rods across from the top of the ladders. You put them all the way across . At least two . First a bit lower at the top step of your ladders .That ones a foot out from the other higher so they can jump up to the roost above the ladder . Which should make it high enough to clean under everything still . But give them two larger roost and access above as well . And should be pretty cheap too 🤴🏼🤘🏻 So knew you was gonna buy that bunker/ missile silo 👌🏻. Keep up the amazing content as always.
Thank you so much flair for uploading today today’s my birthday and you just lit up my day some more thank you!
Flair. I love chickens. I have a channel all about chickens called Boyds Outdoors. I ❤ Chickens.
I would def add a couple vents that you can slide close for winter but so there’s more air in there and maybe just a little light wouldn’t be hard to run electric out there from the shop
bro flair is my favorite youtuber to watch man, he’s always there bro. And the videos are so entertaining, i miss the auction tho ❤
Do not give heat. Let them acclimate to the temps you have. I never heat the coop in the winter in Michigan, and never loose a bird to cold. If you give them heat they will always need it. Most breeds are hearty, and with 50 chickens they will provide enough heat for themselves. Next time you want to catch them all, wait till dusk. They wont run if they are roosted.
I just watched you and LFG and One Rod duck hunt. Can't wait for the rest of that series
I would have put a thick coat of paint on the floor so that their moisture doesn't get into the wood and rot it. Cool house for the chicks. lol.
Just a Tip: if you put down linolium under the Roots the 💩 will come off easier and will protect your Wood.
The roosting bars on the nest boxes are to close at night so they don't sleep and 💩 in the boxes.

I would recommend putting some oyster shells for when u keep them in along with rocks(small gravel sized)and a sand box if you are keeping them in the LOVE sand box’s that we’re they get clean and when they, chicken eat rocks when free range to help break up there food. And oyster shells help a lot in to make them produce a lot of eggs It help with the calcium intake(the outside of shell).(mealworms,larva,and other bugs boost egg production,along with scratch grains) I have 100 something chicken so I’m not just saying that! 😂
Thanks for the feedback Expect more videos soon Send a direct message I have something special for you🎁🎁
I love watching your videos after school
A great video guys for the best condo chicken coop ever !!! What wouldn’t want to be a Flair chicken or farm animal ??? Good work guys !!
You should consider putting some kind of vinyl or rubberized flooring in. Would make cleaning 10x easier
Yeah he's going to need to seal it some how otherwise it'll start to warp and rot
You should get like the rubber horse mats at tractor supply to line the floor so it keeps the floor longer. Then you can pull the mats out every so often and hose them down.
Bango defiantly has the best chicken wrangler skills out of all of you.

Banjo during the gel blaster segment just contemplating life. 😂
Left Braydon price for FLAIR😂😂💪💪💪
You can build a box and put a fan in a wall to air it out and all you’d have to do is make a wood flap with insulation to winterize the vent
You need to put lighting too keep the chickens laying in the winter. 16 hours of light. Lights come on at dusk and off early morning.
Sky light window, that can also be opened as a vent. (Idk what its called)
Then more 6-8" vent holes along the top of the wall. Like houses have. W steel mesh. Can cap it in winter if needed.
get a diesel heater. you should insulate the walls and cover them with some metal, go from the wall into the floor. That should help save the floor edges
Sweet plug at the beginning. Usually I skip your advertisement portion of the video but that was good.
Oh before I forget, you could incorporate the nesting boxes into the wall cavities.
Put something under the water to catch any water so it does not ruin the floor. a piece of sheet linoleum under the roosting section to make clean up easy.
Should have put linoleum down first, easier to clean. Also chickens like large areas to perch on. Their feet aren't like regular birds. They would like a 4in wide roost to feel good while they sleep
I'd definitely put at least one window in for ventilation purposes. You'll enjoy it when it comes time to clean it out.
