If you are interested in hearing more about our chickens please let us know and we can post more content. This is a little outside of my NORMAL solar panel and battery content ...but still falls within being self-reliant and emergency preparedness. Backyard chickens are a great way to have a reliable source of fresh eggs and also teaches our children responsibility. We LOVE our chickens!

“They don’t save you money when it comes to eggs” … 2023: “hold my beer”
U ain’t kidding lol
87 likes and one reply? Let me change that.
I grew up with a flock of almost 50 birds, we used to sell our eggs to local restaurants and bakeries. They more than paid for themselves and it was a lot of fun herding them around the yard / green belt we had. I think every family should have a few birds if they have the space, it's a fun family experience and home grown eggs are infinitely better than store bought
That’s a myth😂even before 2023. But you are right, for sure not a myth after 2023!!!🤣🤦🏽♂️Honestly even if you are paying 0.10¢ extra per dozen to keep chickens and have your own eggs, I’d rather do that than eat store bought eggs that have steroids and are bleached…
*hold my mayo
Ey, this is a good example of working smarter. Its a good setup.
The best backyard coop I have ever seen
This is my favorite coop by far and I’ve looked at hundreds. I love everything about it including the waterers and feeders plus the nesting boxes.
I did a ton of research and coop stalking haha....I put all those ideas together to build this one. It's been great, I'm not sure we would change anything either after almost 1.5 years
I agree very nice coop and run...good job guys!
Agreed, everything is planned out and has simplicity matched by genius
Me too
Very nice, thanks for sharing this so nice 💡
Grateful to have you explain how to keep your coop, clean, nice and functional while at the same time protective and wonderful ideas to see how you feed/water your chickens. Much appreciated.!! 👊🏼
Just stopping by to say thank you for sharing this. It inspired me to build mine very similarly. Not much experience here, so the guidance you gave in this video was enough to get me started.
You might want to sell your plans. Also, a baby monitor in the hen house, plugged up to power, with the listening part in your bedroom is very soothing and alerts if a predator gets in there, so you can go out and let the air out of that fox or coon.
This is the best chicken coop , the vinyl help their poop won’t damage the wood , great idea , I love your channel ,
Great coop. The "water in the nest boxes" is a common issue. By putting a strip of vinyl on the wall above the lid and coming down over the lid the water will run off before entering the nest at all.
Every house needs a gutter system, even the chicken house!
Nice video, Just a tip around the laying area where you have put the bottle with you small DIY gutter, you can add 25mm pvc pipe at the bottom of the bottle and make it drain out side the coup, you won't need to keep draing the bottle yourself again.
That's the way family is to be caring and sharing.
Chicken egss may cost the same due to feed and watering of chicke ns but no lie ... at least you know what your eating.
I love that you actually talk in this video. I keep looking for videos of people's chicken coops but it's all just time lapse and no one talking. Your coop is so cute! The toys idea is great, I definitely am going to do that.
Thanks for sharing. I ❤your feeding system , I will use your example to up grade.
I love your coop. I have been doing youtube research lol, as I would love to have some chickens. The one thing I learned that you may not have seen is that chickens like round roosts as their feet naturally curve. so possibly tree branches may be comfier for them.
This is just an AWESOME COOP. Great work. I've go to send to my brother in law.
Thanks!!
The plastic sheeting is corflue.
Awesome coop! It’s very similar of the one I want to create.
Thanks so much for a brilliant video. Subscribed! ❤
Nice coop!
I'm building a new one and love to see what others do. I used construction sand (aka river sand-not play sand) inside the coop and in the run. It would dry the poop quick so it never stunk. Then I could scoop out poop kitty litter style and never had to replace the sand. It also helps keep their nails filed down and their feet exfoliated. And since chickens are more sensitive to heat than cold, in the summer (110+), I'd wet down a corner and they loved to lay there to cool off. In the winter, the cold sand never bothered them and they had roosting spots to get out of it if they needed it but never did.
Then I like to use a shredder and run junk mail through it for nesting material. Never run out of that. 🤣
LOVED the video especially you explaining everything you did...you gave your reasons "why" and the "solutions".
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have been watching chicken videos for some time and scoping out coops. Yours is my favorite! This is great, clean, beautiful, simple. LOVE IT!
I am an absolute neat freak! I was so nervous that the chickens would destroy my beautiful backyard! But I see you still have your grass and it looks great! Thank you for showing us how you can be clean with chickens! I guess I have to get busy building a coop now!
Hows it going do you have chickens now?Great video thanks for the info! 🌸 🌼 🌻 🌞 🐤 🐣 🐥

Yes I have chickens now as of 3 months ago. I have Rhode Island Reds and Silver Laced Wyandots. The first two places I moved the coop to, they ate my grass up. I placed sod in those areas to replace the grass. I now let them out early in the morning. This prevents the balding of my grass, but they poop all over the place. In two months I will get a large chicken run to contain them to one large area. They love roaming free in my back yard! I still have about 4 weeks to go before they start laying eggs. They get so big so fast!
Love how you did your chicken coop you use common sense and that's very rare today
By the way, I should have also mentioned, you have a lovely family. All the best to you and yours.
Perfect little coop for suburban chicken raising. So glad to see that one can also have a nice lawn. Most videos show just devastation wherever the chickens have been. I’m going to steal your coop ideas as I have space for maybe 4 and a grandson who will be very happy.
Cool Coop, I like the PVC feeder and water can ideas! friends have chickens I'm sending them this video. 🐔
Thank you for sharing... Awesome video.
I just adopted two chickens. They were living in poor condtions. I figured i can give them a much better home. Thanks again.
Great design👌
Great job with your coop! I like that you incorporated “toys” to keep your birds engaged. I saw a coop where the owner made a rustic little swing out of ropes and a thick tree branch. It looked super cute and his birds apparently love sitting on it.
I dream of having chickens..love your setup..and your girl's..so mild and calm..❤
You have your chicken coop working real great! Thanks for the tips & tricks. I especially like the PVC feeders. I enjoyed your video. Good job!!
That is a great way to teach young ones :)
I grew up in a small town and I learned a lot of things, that this new generation will never understand. ;)
beauty in simplicity
Very nice job,very impressive and thank you. I certainly will use your ideas and plans building our coop. Again thank you for your video
I love your chicken coop . I am so happy for your family .
Great design!! I will be building the same soon after our house is finished here in the Philippines!! Thanks for sharing!!
What a lovely well thought out coop!!!
And yes the chickens love human company & actually make wonderfull pets.
These chickens have fallen with their bums in the butter for sure!! You've really thought of everything.

Thanks for the tour, I enjoyed learning the tips and agree with the benefits of the backyard coop. Chicken dust bathing is definitely something I didn't realize but enjoyable to watch, kind of like children playing in a sandbox.
It is pretty enjoyable to watch them roll around in the dirt. Then the dust cloud poof when the get up and shake it all off LOL
Tbh, most animals by nature roll around in the dirt, It helps keep them clean.
You guys seem like the old school family. A family how it was designed from the start to be. Lately ive watched some videos on betrayals and how families fall apart for the stupidiest reasons and just cant but wish you guys heavenly happiness, uncoditional love, unearthy faithfulness and just over all blessings. Makes me happy to see a traditional family just living life in harmony.
All of the mess is really good fertilizer.
I like it! I would use some ideas but being in the country I wouldn't need it to be so perfect along the lines of worrying about dirt. Great ideas. You keep it sooo clean.
You've come up with some fantastic ideas with your DIY chook coop.
Pre-made chicken coops will come with a roost built into their design, and it should be made with a sturdy and solid timber that is rounded off. It is important that the timber is rounded off as this makes it easier for them to grip, and it should also ideally by 50mm as anything much smaller or larger can cause sore feet in your hens and lead to furthered ailments.
As the point of the perch is to allow your poultry pals to roost up nice and high where they feel safe and secure, it should be placed at least 45cm from the ground.
Other than the deep-bed method you went with, you can place dropping boards (just a shallow bin) below the chickens roost, to collect their droppings for your compost, etc.
Thanks for the tips! I like the idea of the bin for the droppings. I go in and shovel out their pile every other week.
Your coop has so many great ideas for ease of use and cleaning. Thank you for sharing!
Awesome video....Thank you !
Well, the chicken coop looks great! Many functions and amenities. It is even better than the last Airbnb that I was in.
Thanks! Lol
Best one I've seen and very clean❤
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful backyard setup!
Thank you verry much... Verry easy and simpel and the chicken have a loft🥰🥰redouane from Belgium.... One tip... The Dust bad must put in the ground.. The edge of the dustbad a few inches above the ground.... By the way you have a nice family👍🥰
Ya'll have done an awesome job building your coop and the waterers and feeders, excellent ideas! God bless y'all and stay safe!👍
Great video! I’ve been contemplating building a coop for our backyard but the more I looked into having chickens the more overwhelming it seemed. This really simplified it all, thank you!
I LOVE this coop build! It's not overly complicated, and everything is very functional. Thanks for the vid.
Great video, I have been surfing similar videos on CZcams & now my search is over. I’m building a carbon copy in my backyard & plan on having 6 or 7 chickens in there, time to enjoy some fresh & tasty eggs for a change. Thanks for sharing 👍
I liked your approach to the arrangement of the chicken coop. It is noticeable how well you and your hens are doing, as well as a lot of approving comments from the audience about this design of the chicken coop.
Simple solutions are the best solutions.
I have seen many coop videos at this point, and this one is absolutely simple, straightforward, and well thought out. Excellent base to start, thank you, good work.
This is the best chicken setup I've seen so far. Informative. Thank you for posting this. I've subscribed. Blessings, health, prosperity and peace to you and yours and to all who read this! 😘👍😇💖
I absolutely love your coop! I’ve had chickens in the past. I’m feeling peckish again! I had Buff Orpingtons. They are a beautiful bird. Your chickens are happy and healthy. Great job all around.
Friend, thank you so much for sharing! you guys are incredible. wish your family health and well, always!
Fun video and nice to see your lovely family. Would like to see more of your emergency preparedness ideas.
Your Chicken coop is just beautiful and your feeding methods is outstanding Congratulations 🎈🎉🎊
Spacious, Beautiful and well organized. Your chickens are really happy ♥
Of all of the plans and utube examples I've seen, this is the most well done coop and run I've seen. You really thought it out in advance. Mine isn't working for me and I have not built things like this before. I hope to take some tips from this and build something better than what I have which is really not working this winter to keep the run dry. Thanks for sharing it. Well done.
Very nice job on the video and great coop and run. Your family looks very happy and the chickens look well loved
That's super cute. Your whole video. Informative, and also as a chicken man, I applaud this. There are very few wrong ways, and many right ones when it comes to chickens. This is awesome.
Great build and beautiful yard man! I'm about half way thru building my first coup. It's actually pretty much the same as yours but you've given me some good ideas for everything else! Thanks for the video!
Nice video. Very peaceful. I made several notes, including shade cloth, great idea!
Good job and beautiful family.
Great ideas thank you so much for sharing I am in the process of building my chicken coop .I love your ideas keep up the good work thanks again for showing us your talents
This looks great! I'm glad I saw this before making a new coop and run.
Great job on the coop thumbs 👍 up.
Nice setup!
Mind blown by the organization so very Marie Kondo 🙌👏👏👏
By far the best coop in the world .....small, has a run and is adjacent to a lawn .............and your engineering is super cool 😎 in coop gate or water or feed and above all the shade curtain ,it's so simple yet engineering Marvel ...........I am a techy guy myself but I am amzed at the simple technique you have deployed .......really sir I will copy your coop if I have your permission .........actually all companies should have your design only ..........and mam she is so cute
If you like tech, you may also enjoy my other channel videos about solar power and new battery tech coming out.
This chicken coop is so perfect! ♥️
we have 7 chickens 3 Isa Browns 2 silkies 1 Polish Crested and 1 Turkin we bought the coop that came with a 3 ft run so we built on a 8x9x6 ft high run then we built a small feed shed connected to the backside of the big run, we have a small backyard, we have a 9x6 raised garden bed for veggies, and 2 75gal. rain barrels we love our chickens and with the price of eggs we get sometimes 8 eggs a day so we have a lot and we have enough for family, and our eggs are a lot better for you than store eggs and they are better for you
Very thoughtful, organized, neat, and clean. Gave me some clever ideas
Thanks for sharing your own hard work, to enlighten us. I just payed 6 bucks for a dozen eggs at Walmart. That is .50 cents an egg. I have recently seen 9mm cheaper per rnd. by a large margin.
I love the thought and consideration for your animals. Definitely love every idea you guys had about the coop and it’s honestly amazing. Chickens will change the world! Lol
simple, smart coop.. the best i've so far seen. great information too.. thank you from Kenya
Excellent video and what a lovely family ❤
Wow - great job, great ideas and fabulous presentation. Thanks for sharing!
Best coop on youtube
Thanks :)
Thank you for your video. This is a beautiful design. The only thing I would change when building mine would be to make it taller. I have back issues and I can't crawl around if I had to get in there to get a sick chicken or stop a fight. Otherwise, I love how you've made everything easy to use for feeding and watering. Your chickens look very happy.
Exactly what I need, when can you come? I have a smaller coop with a run, but I can't walk in it! I would love to build the coop higher and make the run where I can walk in it! Your water and feed things are great too! Chickens are fun, but definitely are work!
Very nicely done. Definitely one of my favorites so far. Wish i'd seen this before i built my coop!
Very nice and your attention to detail, i.e., flashing for the roof edges and inside gutter system is so clever!
I do use carbines and heavy, coated twist ties to lock down all doors because my area (Virginia) has all the predators mentioned plus smart raccoons. With foxes, there's a two foot barrier of hardware cloth buried around and inside the run.
I love 😍 the pavers and stone work you've done (another way you've protected the girls) because it's tidy and attractive; I'm gathering materials right now to do! Thank you for sharing your lovely and practical set-up!
I’m so happy I stumbled on your video. The coop is perfect and your chickens look so happy. Great job!
Thanks so much!
This is way nicer, but super similar to the the first coop I ever made. I have an old video of it on here. I've made something completely now. I'll have to make a video.
Excellent coop!! Great feed, water ideas!!
They may not save you money but your getting better eggs and you know where they are coming from and what they are eating
Best coop and very clean. Thanks for sharing.
You thought of everything for this coop great job!
NICE! And CLEAN!!!Thanks foe sharing. I picked up some good tips.
This is a great setup, and good ideas. I am doing research on getting about 4 chickens. This is just how I want mines to be. Thanks.🙌
Very good video and very informative. We have a friend who has chickens and I'm definitely going to give her this link. Great job on your build. I also got a bit of info on your mesh you use that isn't chicken wire. We have a catio, a large structure for our cats to go out and play and not be in harms way, and also leave the neighbors in peace. That mesh I'dea will serve us well. Thanks, Jason.
Very nice nice set 👍 up
Great job. About to help my 14 year old daughter build a coop and run for her ag project.
Very nice setup. Getting started on one this weekend and been watching videos for tips. Thanks buddy
Well thought out design. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful coop, thanks
Impressive with really well thought out ideas…looks so clean and orderly…love the predator proof outer design with the stones and drain design…aren’t too many predators that want to dig in stone!
