  • thanks for the heads up. I went to his site and wrote a comment about it being a scam and flagged it as copyright infringement.

  • I like your ark. Question if you had to build it again would you change anything?

  • Well, I sold this one, and am building a new one. New one is not mobile and much bigger. You really need either a couple of reasonably strong people or a good set of wheels to make this an "ark." I built this out of 2x2's and it still came out pretty heavy. Also, I built a separate 4'x5' "play pen" for them so they could get more exercise and have more fun. New house is 5'x10', 6' tall. Big monster! Google The Garden Coop to see it.

  • Sold this a couple of months ago, so had to go back to my pictures to figure this out. I'm thinking the base is 3' wide x 5' long. The sides are about 4', so the height ends up around 44". The nesting area is about 18" high, the ground area about 26". Good luck.

  • i am just about done finishing my chicken tractor. its 6 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 4 1/2 feet tall. i wanted to make it so i can move it around, but i also wanted to make it out of all recycled materials (2 by 4s and ply wood). i just tared the roof today and tomorrow im putting on cedar shingles. the bloody thing weighs well over 200lb

  • That's not a tractor, that's a mansion! You're going to have to put a serious set of wheels under one end. You might look into the wheels on the Boughton 902. The axel is on a hinge so you can lift up one end and flip the wheels under then push or pull from the other end. Good luck.

  • i really like your coop and how simple and portable it looks.

    just so you know though, some guy with the screenname donaldcoop stole your video and posted it on his channel as well, apparently to scam people into downloading fake coop blueprints.

  • Nice Job!

    We make the same coops too :)
