    I had been telling one of my friends who recently got chickens about your channel and how you do helpful videos on how to make things for your birds...
    She was needing EXACTLY something like this for her new babies... And here you are posting the perfect video!
    I've linked it to her, and I really think it will help her out!
    So, thank you so much for posting these great tutorials!
    I dont have any farm animals of any kind, but it was still super helpful :D

    Thank you, I live in the city and need a small coop to hide behind my fence for a few chicks.. (HOA) I have watch many videos on youtube with these great coops but not for city folks with small/medium backyard.. this size is great and I can move around to different lawn area.. The list is the best part as I am not a builder, however with the list I was able to google picture of everythinig I need before going to Lowes...AWESOME..... now I can see what I am looking for before I get to lowes... my husband has some tool but is not a builder not even my neighbors but I will find someone to do the things I cannot do.. I will be watching this video over and over again as I am a visual learner.... THANK YOU SO MUCH

I'm not good at this stuff but I did manage to get everything but the roof done. The plans don't seem to show it but the video describes the length and cutting it to 2 inches but it goes by so fast I can't tell what to do. Thanks for the great videos!
