  • Hi, Thaks for vid... do you have problems with mites as I hear wood can harbour the criters!

  • @feargalb No, not so far. If we did, I would increase the use of diatomaceous earth in their run. Chickens dust themselves in dirt to prevent mites, having the DE on their bodies would kill the mites.

  • cats dont eat chickens and have no interest in them. dogs may bite and chase after them though.

  • @iezzzwan Our neighbor cats sit on top of the green roof and peer over the side and will sit there and watch them all day. It's like Chicken TV. Our dog, on the other hand, would definitely go after them, so we just don't let them out at the same time. Although I think the chickens would kick his butt!

  • hey do u have to have a male chicken in with your female chickens probably a stupid question

  • @garybrody Only if you want fertilized eggs!

  • That's a really cool chicken coop. :) I bet your chickens love it!

  • Where do you find the diatomaceous earth?

  • I have a Americana chicken too.... She is very flighty and gets scared very easily.... cool chicken coop!!!!

  • Don't male chickens get killed alive because they don't grow fast enough? It's make me feel really inferior............. if I was rooster I would run to the end of earth to save my chicken skin on my head! :)

  • @ChiiRising The main "building" is a standard model. The only thing custom is the run.

  • @LuisPerezII Anywhere from 6 - 8 years on average. I'm not sure if we'll eat them. We'll figure that out when they hit the 3 year mark and stop laying. As for feed costs, it totally depends on what you are buying and from where. We buy local, organic feed which is more expensive. But, we also feed them a lot of food scraps and weeds so that helps.

  • @wansbek1968 You got a thumbs up from me on it. If our coop weren't visible from the neighbors, I'd do it :)
