  • Matt from @CarolinaCoopsVideos was down in San Diego to help build the Epic Chicken coop over at @epicgardening . Since he was in the area I thought I would show him our coop and lets just say I was pleasantly surprised to hear his thoughts!

    This was so much fun seeing someone else’s coop. I really wish there was scratch and sniff video. The coop had no smell at all. There were so many great things I wanted to point out for key points to consider when building your own coop.
    It takes something special to be able to build something that is functional and beautiful from repurposing materials.

      Matt’s feedback was SO positive! I learn something every time he speaks. And Jacques….was so very brave to undergo this scrutiny! I don’t have the talent to build, but I sure am looking forward to Carolina Coops installing at my home in May, whoo hoo!

    I read the title and was ready to throw hands with Carolina coop (even though I fangirl over their coops myself). The garden hermit is to be protected at all costs.
    Glad it ended with goosebumps, some chirp content, and a 90 ❤

  • @lynneblow1447

    Your coop is fantastic and the fact that you researched and built it yourself makes it all the better. Glad you got a 90! I'd be happy with that too.

    We just finished a repurposed coop. Such a challenge! Nothing is square so things need reshaping and you have to spend time deciding the best use of the lengths you’re working with. A bit like laying a pattern onto cloth. But it is so satisfying to look at the final result and know you just made a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.

    • @jacquesinthegarden

      @JaimeBlackBird Před rokem +1

      Totally! I got my first 6 baby girls in June 2020-less than a month later, I stopped taking antidepressants!…Chickens are hilarious & wonderful & absolutely fascinating! I now have 8 girls (CHICKEN MATH IS REAL!)
      I’m so grateful for my girls! They literally cured my 20 year struggle with major depressive disorder! I love them to pieces 🥰

  • @squashit339

  • @lisahawes5329
    @lisahawes5329 Před 2 lety +6

    Love how passionate you all come across.
    I used to have chickens when I lived in France. One in particular would tap on the kitchen doors in the morning to be let in, and whilst we sat eating breakfast she would head to empty log basket and nestle down to lay her egg. She then went around the kitchen table for pecking at all the crumbs etc that breakfast with my family would have made. She never pooped inside, she was part of the family. The other chickens never got that attached to our home, they all when and did their thing in the chicken house.
    Great memories 👍

    • @jacquesinthegarden
      @jacquesinthegarden  Před 2 lety +3

    @aimeepeltier4489 Před rokem

    In the deep north (WI) I build my litter in layers all summer long. Then, into the winter its a deep litter method that helps to keep them warm all winter long. Spring time is definitely the time for a deep clean and then time to start all over.

    Nice coop! I hatched my girls and they are almost 5 years old and still laying well. They are so smart and all have very unique personalities. I love them so much. They have Christmas lights and cameras in their coop so I can monitor them all the time.

  • @Spottius
    @Spottius Před rokem +1

    Love this!
    Also, my litter is 2 years old and still looks like yours.....my poop deck and cleaning method has quashed my dreams of utilising the deep litter method as free fertilizer...at least in the short term.
    My chickens love me, my garden hates me.

    I love how you have plastic Adirondack chairs in the run (easy to hose down). I just started 3rd shift and so I have to build some kind of run because my 7 gals won't be able to free range on the days I work - I'd never convince them to go back in the coop before I have to leave for work. But I knew I would miss sitting out with them - I wanted to make the run a space they and I could both enjoy and seeing how your family did it is awesome!

    Hi Jaque! Your chickens are super cute. I bet the eggs are great. What are you doing with your winter garden in this heat wave? I know you said an umbrella, and that worked great. And Kevin showed srinkling the broccoli in the heat of the day, which works great too, but is it time to chuck it? and start on tomatoes and basil? It's going to be 90 today! W T Heck. I don't want to say goodbye to my little gems. I'll put some in the shade in containers to see how it goes. Have a nice day!

    • @jacquesinthegarden
      @jacquesinthegarden  Před 2 lety +1

      Its tricky as coastal San Diego doesn't hit true summer until July basically, so we have like a 50 50 chance of it being a warm spring or a cool spring. I will likely do a combination of summer and spring plants now and then as I get into April I will do the full summer sowing.
