NEW HERE?
Thanks for stopping by our off grid cabin build channel. We recently moved from the city with all of its conveniences to the middle of the forest near Sandpoint, Idaho. On our channel, we are sharing our journey from grid life to an off-grid homesteading life. We are starting from scratch on bare land. I hope you will come and join us on this journey as we build our off grid cabin and establish our homestead. You can learn more about our story here • Why we Choose to Live ...
Thank you for watching our video and reading the description. You rock!
Hope you have a really great day and keepsm:)ling!

Here are our plans geni.us/ChickenCoopPans
Sudah lama tak melihat..mbak johson.
Ordered the plans, but it doesn't include list of parts/supplies.
Morning sher,morning moom,morning server morning Sarah.😮😮😮😮😮
I'M from Indonesia,Gosh three bear monster who wants to eat chicken does America bear like to eat chicken
You should have a small solar panel of the roof of the chicken coup so you can keep the battery for the door charged and maybe get a water heater to keep their water from freezing in winter.
A good lock for your coop is one of those latches with holes for a padlock but instead you use a carabiner. Also, I would for sure hang netting above the coop. Birds like haws are really good in flying, spotting and killing through trees.
Used your design. We are super happy with it.
A few mods…Texas, not as cold, we put in a wire mesh floor, spray to clean out, no hay. And an egg collector, slanted floor attached to the laying boxes.
Thanks for all the camera coverage on your video!
Get a goose and have him live with the chickens in the fenced in area. No cats or birds will mess with your chickens.
If only that were true. I have a goose in my flock; yesterday I lost a duckling and gosling to a predator attack in the run. I have no idea what could've done it, but the necks were shredded and they were eviscerated.
We had a duck, it was protective of one of our few chickens but constantly attacked the others and plucked out neck feathers
I built my own version of this coop last spring. Works great!
Electric current contracts muscles. Test electric fences with the BACK of your hand, (or a tester). By using the back of your hands/fingers, the shock will throw your fingers away from the current instead of grabbing and wrapping your hands around the wires.
Nice coop, My chickens I got to lock up at night and open in the morning , make s me get up and walk LOL So many things have changed in the 70 years I have had chickens
Thank you for posting this video. I've built this coop and it was a fun build process. In total it cost around $1000 to build. Overall it's a very sturdy coop.
Brilliant guys!! My wife and I are planning a homestead and we already have an urban chicken run nd have gone through two of the cheap coop kits from Murdocks and are done with those. This looks A+! Thanks a million from CO!!!
That coop is so awesome!
I need that door for sure!
This is amazing! Thanks for sharing! Y'all are the best! Happy Holidays!
Very nice, you should have some happy hens!
When I built mine, I bought a piece of sheet vinyl flooring for inside, made cleaning MUCH easier.
Nice work. Fairly cheap and easy to build.
The lower side of your roof is at a very dangerous level.
Recommendation: You may want to, using metal sheets, round the roof corners and put a small piece of foam on it. An injury to the face is far worse to deal with.
Yeah like pool foam floaties
Looks like a nice set up. That fencing is good to work with.
Looks great. You seem to have all the angles covered. Good luck with the new run. Thanks for sharing
Great set up. I have bear, cougar, coyote and all the rest including the hawks and eagles We have Livestock Guardian dogs. The electric fence won't stop the bears or thick coated dogs.
Great video good to see y'all
Nice setup, Good idea having a the "Coop Cam" 😀
Nice chicken coop they should love being in the trees❤️🇨🇦
Hawks and eagles will still be able to fly in and get to the chickens. Even full grown ones. Seen chicken runs in thicker wooded area and the birds still got in freaquently. Id honestly recommend a netting that can hang over the run in the trees. The birds have great eye sight and usually see the netting, but every great once in awhile, one may get caught in the netting and need rescuing.
As a falconer and chicken lover, this net idea is great. For safe removal of a bird of prey caught in the mesh, take care not to be “footed” during the rescue, their talons are lightning fast. First cover the bird’s head a towel or equivalent so they can’t see you, this will help calm them.
Now try to hold hands 🙌 and see who gets sock next. A nother good test
Interesting set up. Looks great and Very functional. I'm not much of a egg person, so don't raise chickens, but if I built a chicken coup I'd keep both sides of the roof above my head level because I'd end up some day stupidly whacking my head on the lower end. I'd build a A frame type of roof so I could gather eggs in peace away from wind driven rain and not have to stand in any snow...I'd build a 6' fence around the chicken area and utilize chicken netting over the top. Lastlly I'd definitely build the chicken boxes on a slope so the eggs would gently roll to the back for easy and clean collection. I still remember poopy eggs from the chickens my parents raised on the farm. :)
Your chicken coop looks good! We do not have a home stead! Just a home!

I really like how reasonable and smart you are. Today that is a rarity, especially for Western people. For example, firstly, you realistically say that cats are predators and should be kept away from chickens. Second, instead of philosophizing, you realistically say that you should simply take breeds that live in colder conditions... Respect
Finally some thing new.
Because of you guys i built one of these at my last house worked great!!! I didnt have the auto door though.
Suggestion to use overhead netting protection from skilled birds of prey even owls as they will drop in inside and enter coop if you not use an auto closing door on coop
Woooa super super. Huge thnx for sharing this. Tough job to get things how they r now I assume. It's a model I'll aim to use here in rural Romania's Carpathian Mountains. ❤❤
Bagus sekali kebunnya ❤
Great job 👏
My chicken run is open during the day so they can free range all I've ever caught in it are wild turkeys and 1 pronghorn antelope
For winter heating if there is not many trees around paint sides black and fit glass airtight about 1/2" away ? Large eaves and shiny or white roof for cool in Summer.
I like ur coup, and ur auto door. I live in the mountains with high winds. That over hang, with the pitch of the roof wouldnt last one wind event up here.
terima kasih videonya pak martin ❤
You could almost let that out as a tiny home lol. Nice build!
That is a great chicken coup. You guys are amazing. Using your child to test out your electric fence is not recommended. Lol
I was the official tester on our farm too..😅😂
Even with the overhang at the top, with moderate rain and some wind in that direction its going to get sopping wet inside.
I hadnt thought about closing off the nesting boxes to the young birds, great thought! 😂😅
nice set up, greetings from Boise
Just bought your plans, was hoping it had a material list all the the boards I need. Kinda bummed it wasn’t on there.
Wait did they ever send you the materials list? I wanna buy the plans but that list is essential for me as a beginner!
@@Earthalien89just a detailed blue print. And step by step for the most part. Just wish it had a list of all the materials you need. I ended up not even using them unfortunately. Found a premade one for a good price
The company that sent you the electric fencing also has a run cover for chickens.
One good latch, one carabiner. Racoons are the only predator dextrous enough to unclip them, but they can't understand how they work. Simple, no locks, only cost a dollar. Done.
I think foxes or any predetors like that can easily jump above this fence.
Nice
Most people put tar paper or roofing paper on their floor to put their sawdust or savings on all they do just pull out out roll it up and then put in fresh makes it easier to clean
Compared to few years ago your Indonesian is already quite rusty, Pak. But it's still understandable. Saya setuju Pak Martin membuat lagi video tentang rumah Bapak. I can't forget your channel, you, Bu Julie Sarah and Seth because it was the only time that my name got mentioned in a published video which is one of your MAIL TIME (was it the very first MAIL TIME?). I was the one who sent you the KOPI AROMA. God bless you and your family, Pak Martin.
Wow, Seth sudah besar, he looks bigger now. Long time not seeing your videos, what an amazing family,
great helpful video ! Thanks for your helpful tips,n it helps me to know the why not just the how. Question: Approx how many chickens would your coop as shown hold?
A couple of years ago we had major issues with racoons!
Your weather is similar to ours - are you not worried about the eggs freezing with the exterior nest box? I'm planning my coop for a little storage area attached and access the nesting box from there so it's a little better protected from the wind/snow/cold. This past winter we went 5 months without the temps getting out of the low 20s.
You need protection from the air also from chicken hawks, eagles, and other birds of prey. You can buy a net to cover your chicken yard.
That's why he specifically stated they placed the chickens under a bunch of trees, hoping to avoid arial predators.
My wife and I just moved onto some land in Barrhead county, been looking into building a coop in North Central Alberta
I would imagine keeping it that high helps keep down on the rodents as well. Chickens dont actually have a sphincter like mammals so they will poop in their sleep. They have no way to control it so dont get too frustrated if your still having a lot of poo in the coop. Miss you guys.
You said you have 3 closures on the door to keep raccoons out. Try using a standard hasp and putting a clip where the lock would be..... I used clips from old dog leashes..... I've seen raccoons open closures before...
I live in North Idaho, and I still don’t get why people here say “Acrossed” and not “Across”. It’s not a word! :-)
Just wondering what will you do in the winter? Won't the snow short out the fence?
I like your shirt dude
Can you give more info on type of camera you pointed out that sends a notification? I'm assuming you have cell service where you are for the notifications to work?
Salut. So are you saying when you started on the property you were relaxed or it was intense (in tents) ? I couldn't hep mesef. Thanks for the vid and update. You haven't said too much about Collin, I hope things are going well.
Summer shocked don’t touch the wire 😂
How about using the fake grass inside the coup instead of the saw dust? Inexpensive and it could easily be cleaned by pulling it completely out and just washing it off? What would be the drawbacks?
how will you keep their waterer from freezing in the winter?
Hey if you want a FarmLite automatic chicken door ours are fully aluminum! We can send you the door and the solar setup for a complete off grid application! Our doors come with a safety sensor as well to protect your birds!
Any update on the solar power set up.?
How do you manage coop security in winter when the snow nullifies the electric fence?
We have opossum animals in the backyard in a large way!
This is fantastic! Is it movable? I live in the Texas desert and the heat can get above 115 degrees. I hope there are heat tolerance chickens. The height, automatic door and feeder outside is a great idea. We have have javelinas, coyotes, badgers, bobcats and a whole lot of other animals including mice, rats, rabbits and reptiles like rattlesnakesss. Hopefully I can protect my chickens as soon as I build this. Thank you for this video. Keep them coming.
So glad you posted this. I almost bought the plans.
Is there a materials list with the plans?
Lombok hadir..
Haven't watched he entire video yet but I plan on using this design based on its simplicity. Just out of curiosity, what was your overall cost for materials?
A good leason in grounding!
Hi uncle Martin 👋
Salam dari Indonesia 🥰
How often do you replace the bedding and how many birds do you keep?
Have considered bird netting to discourag flying predators?
I'm from Indonesia java,i like you vlog, kapan pergi ke Indonesia
This is really a great looking and very useable coop. However, the plans (if you purchase them) are not very good unfortunately. You have to either be an engineer or (and I grew up building homes and built the home I live in now) you have to keep going back and forth looking at pictures to figure out dimensions. If the measurements were added to the current pictures in the plans I bought, it would go so much easier, especially for a first time project builder. A buy list, cut list etc. would really help. The coop is certainly buildable from the plans, I just think it could have been faster and smoother with more details/measurements given.
Probably should have extra latches/locks in the brooding boxes.
Why do so many videos/movies play the call of a Red-tailed Hawk when they show a Bald Eagle? ;-)
Because those bald eagles sound so wimpy!
The first line of the fence?
This may be an odd question but does anyone who has used the poultry netting know if the smaller squares on the bottom are small enough that if mice tried to go through it they’d get a zap?
Pak martin kebunnya luas sekali, membeli tanah seluas itu berapa pak ??
@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving Can two people carry this to move around the yard if needed?

Hi Martin. I was raised a catholic and wasn’t really introduced to a bible. I want to purchase a bible , but there are so many versions that I’m not sure which version is considered to be the most accurate. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
NASB or ESV are my go to versions.
@@Plutogalaxy not so much anymore.
N KJV in my opinion
I thought she was gonna put the cat on the fence hahah
Good afternoon
Best to use a dead bolt on the chicken coop because racoons will get the job done!
😁😁😁😁😁
Security camera info please? My brother needs one like that, remote, solar, wifi connected.
Thanx!
Martin, 1 guinea will keep hawks, eagle's, snakes, rats, wasps, etc.
May be put a few latched on the rooting part. Won't hurt TAKE CARE
Everytime you wear that demolition shirt I first think it is a Red Hot Chili Peppers shirt
