  • Hope you enjoy this time-lapse of building this backyard chicken coop! It took a bit longer than expected but we're happy with how it turned out, and so are the chickens! I went with yellow because we wanted some color and were inspired by some of the traveling we've done. I don't know the exact cost but it was somewhere in the ballpark of $700 or so worth of materials.

    The fact that he didn’t use techno music as the audio deserves a like in itself. 👍

    I like that you didn't use a $100k wood workshop to do this like some videos. Just using your skilsaw for most of it gave me a little more confidence in my project. :)

      Ha, yeah I definitely don’t have a fancy setup. Honestly you could probably do the whole job with a skilsaw. Thanks for watching and good luck on your project!

      I love that he can actually use the tools and knows to simply flip a 4*4 over to cut it all the way with a circular saw. I see people using hand saws and other stuff and one guy had some Japanese pole saw or something .

      Awesome build, quick question. On the side where the two vents are do you think modifying the bottom to have a panel open up to allow for clean out would be feasible? Or do the plans already have that built in?

      We elected to build our Chicken House 24” off the Ground…the whole House & 10’x 24’ Run are 1/2” Hardware Clothed Completely Under & Up All Sides of Run so it is very Secure. My only Issue (didn’t see this coming) is my Girls occasionally Lay Eggs under the House…I can’t Crawl under it, so I won’t do that again. House is 8’x 8’ Floor but 12’ West Wall & 5’ East wall so we have a decent Pitch on roof…we have lotsa Rain here, so went with Green Metal to match our Home & Garage. You did a Superstar Job on your House!! Wonderful Video too!!!

    Great tutorial! Love the simple design you made it look so easy to build!
    One suggestion I always make is to use natural wood sticks as roosts of various girths so your chickens don’t get arthritis. Makes it just a little bit more comfortable for them.

    • @WeekendRenegades
      @WeekendRenegades  Před rokem +5

      Thanks! And yeah I've heard a lot of different things around that particular debate with roosts. But from what I've read 2x4s with the 1 1/2" side up make for perfect roosting bars as long as you get rid of the sharp corners. I'll look into the arthritis thing though, I haven't heard of that.

    Nice work. I really like you showing the process and the tour at the end. My son and I are looking to build a coop the the next couple weeks and my wife says she likes this one the best. One Question: what kind of lumber did you use for the exterior trim 1x4's? Can it just be treated wood that get painted, or does it need to be cedar? Trying to see if could build this for $500 with lumber prices having gone down in our area just recently and I already have all the roofing materials.

    • @WeekendRenegades
      @WeekendRenegades  Před 2 lety +8

      Pretty sure I used something like this for the siding. It doesn't need to be cedar, if it's treated wood and you paint it and caulk it with exterior grade paint and caulk you should be good. But, if you're trying to save some money you could always buy 1/2" or 3/4" plywood and rip it down to make all your trim. Wood prices are weird right now so I'm not sure how much that would save you. Thanks for watching!
