That's a nice setup. It would be perfect if you could put that on a slope and clean out the roosting board with an irrigation system. You could let the run-off go into a garden or raised bed.
hi mate i duno what these isiots are talking about on your coments but your coop looks very nice and i am going to have a go at making one like this but with a slightly bigger run it looks brillient mate well done and nice birds !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dennis-- got the plans printed out. Thanks so much; great detail, which I appreciate,never having done this sort of thing. Lots of information which I wouldn't have thought about. I'll let you know how it turns out.
Hello from Dublin, Ireland. Lovely coop..stands out from the crowd! Thinking of buying your plans. My husband has rudimentary skills and access to good tools and advice. How long do you think it would take him to build it?
Hello, I really like your chicken coop. I am planning to buy your plans but have a question. What was the total cost of the chicken coop, for about how much can you make that coop. Please answer back. I am looking forward to buying your plans. Thanks
i want to start a coop but have questions, are these just for eggs? where do you buy chicks from? do they need a heater/i live in the northeast ?can they run free in the day if i am not around?is it hard to get them back in the coop? how many chicks do you need for a dozen eggs per week? and what about guinea hens? better than chickens?any help would be nice?
Hello Papakeetee, A coop is a chickens home sweet home. A place where they are safe and can lay their eggs in peace. To buy chicks look on line or in your yellow pages for a place that sells farm feed and supplies, It's not hard to get them back in the coop, mine go in all by themselves at sundown. You will need 12 chickens to get a dozen eggs since they mostly lay 1 egg each per day, in the winter they lay less often. Hope this helps.
We built this coop from Dennis' plans, and we just love it. It's the perfect size for a small suburban flock, and we get many, many compliments on it.
Ver nice chicken coop! Amazing actually! I really enjoyed your video! It really helped me a lot!! I made a coop just like urs just a lot bigger!! I'm planing to make a small one like the one in this video to place next to my house that way I can keep my bantams close to me!
I love this idea Dennis! I think somewhere I saw you did this with cub scouts. I have a den myself and would love to do this! I'll be looking for the plans to purchase!
Nicely Done! I think I've seen your listing on E-Bay and there is obviously a need for this information. I'd like to add that for those wanting to hatch, incubate and raise their own flock, there is a DVD guide called Regarding Chickens. Also, some of these portable coops are good as garden prep... a book titled The Chicken Tractor gets into soil science and chickens... Nice stuff to know. THANKS hope you sell lots of plans!!!
Hey thanks this was very helpful we are making the original version not the short and we just needed to look inside the coop to build and thats while this vid helped thanks again!

When you have baby chicks you want to put marbles in the water so they don`t drownd, right?

Yes, and it also helps attract their attention to the waterer in the first place.

how many chickens can fit in a coop this size? We have 6 baby chicks (standard size) and I'm worried that we have too many now for a portable coop...
