    Thanks for sharing with us. Just a suggestion, you can run hardware cloth around the outside perimeter of the chicken coop itself and remove the chicken wire on the front. It would allow the chickens to get under their coop for more protection from predators and from the element. Hardware cloth has smaller holes and is thicker and more durable than chicken wire. Also I’d run hardware cloth around the bottom half of the run as well. A fox, opossum, raccoon will kill your chickens as well and they can get through the holes on the cattle panel. Just a suggestion. I know when I lose a hen to a predator it always sucks because you lose an egg layer and chickens are fun!

      Thanks for watching and for your suggestions 😊! We appreciate it and will keep that in mind! Yes, we don't want to lose any chicken's, especially egg layers 😊!

    When I saw you nail the plastic to the frame that could be a problem. When strong winds come it will tear the plastic away from the nails. Suggestion is to take strips of wood and sandwich the plastic between the stripe of wood and the wood frame, then nail it. That way the wind can't cause the plastic to rip away from the nails. Seen it happen to other chicken runs.

      And you can use roofing nails. They have a thick plastic washer on them and hold better.

    You may have fixed it, but there are owls and ravens that will attack your chickens and kill them, and the opening on upper part of run will allow them in. Also you may want to run actual chicken wire around bottom part so weasels and martens will get in pretty easy on that big of panels. Just wanting to help. I have chickens, and I know you don't want to lose them. I think you have a follower in me.

    👍 nice job on the whole chicken coop / run. I'm thinking the wind may blow snow in side there and having opening on both ends could result in the wind tearing the plastic. New subscriber and enjoying your videos! Cheers! Jason

    Ok just warched this the chicken coop nice job but yes there is a but. You have it so high in the air so much wasted area under costing you to heat. The run is good but predators will get under so easy if 1 bird is out at night it will be free food. The chickens like height for roosting so all that space under could have been better used. All in all for someone just starting out you do you. Good job but research research especially in Alaska it is a little tougher up there. ❤ keep up good work

      Nice easy to build chicken run. I think it would be a lot easier on you if you modified your nesting boxes to open in the front rather than the top. (Or take about a foot off the "legs" to lower the coop. - that would help with the angle of the ramp and make it easier for the girls to go down the ramp.)

  • @ZXX984
    @ZXX984 Před 10 měsíci +2

    Of course, being unfamiliar with raising chickens, that chicken run doesn’t have to totally enclosed with chicken wire on each end? That pizza looked good. Till next time gang!

    • @GoodLivingAlaska
      @GoodLivingAlaska  Před 10 měsíci

      We have it closed about halfway on each end with wire fencing. They will stay in their run and we don't have any predators in our area. Thanks for watching 😊!
