World's CHEEP'EST Chicken Coop. No Power Tools!

If you are not a particularly handy person, but you want to build a chicken coop, I have your solution right here! Using nothing but pallets, rope, milk jugs, a few nails, scissors and a hammer we build a sturdy, warm, mid sized coop! This not only recycles milk jugs but is simple to take apart and move as well. Be more self reliant! Do things yourself! This build took only a couple hours once we had the materials assembled. Skill level needed, 2/10.
We also interject some humor as well.

Pulling out the coop drawer with the hen squawking in it was so perfect. 🤣

I had never heard of a homesteader comedy channel and now I've found it! Thanks Brian!

Oh man that chicken in the drawer cracked me up 🤣🤣🤣

I'd use a scrap 2x4 for roosting so that its more comfortable for their feet.... especially in cokd weather. Toes won't be exposed. But love the idea of pallets.

[leomiranda-castro]

Awesome! I think that instead of the rebar roosting bar, you could use a piece of wider wood or a stick like you mentioned. Better for their feet long-term.

Creative ...I like when people reuse stuff instead of wasting money and resources to keep buying new stuff...Keep going my friend..

Your video was both entertaining and EXACTLY what I was looking for! I can do this!!! As a 66 year old widow living in Honduras, looking for an idea how to make an easy, inexpensive chicken coop, your video came up first with everything I need to know to get started! Thank you for turning my doubtful concern into confident determination ❤️.

Dude. You're hilarious. I love this channels

[babetteisinthegarden]

I would definitely wrap the coop in chicken wire especially the roof palette those side openings are big enough for my raccoons to get into for sure.

Thanks for putting cheap options out there! Everyone should grow something, even on a shoestring. Work with what you got. And if it doesn't work out, it's a great fort!

[Dianatoo]

Mrs. Flannel is so congenial. You make a great couple. Thanks for coming up with ideas that everyone can afford.

Eating beans with the chicken was my favorite part. Thank you for a good laugh this evening. 😃🌱🐢

[FantailValleyHomestead]

That is great! I would suggest swapping out the perch rebar for some branches, they like them to be a bit thicker and also (bonus) you can scrounge them for free. Our first hen house was a double height 3x4 pellet hen house with free scrap tin on top. Worked a treat!

Repurpose is always better than recycle! I genuinely love this. Brilliant way to Repurpose plastic that would end up in landfill.
I'd put it on slabs to help deter foxes digging in, and thicker roosting bars. But that's literally all I'd change.

The milk crate shingles was brilliant! It ain’t a true chicken yard if it don’t look like a homeless encampment LOL!

[Tilas]

I love that you did this video. I have no money or some fancy coop. But I would like to keep 3 chickens in my backyard. Thank

[mellyd]

We need more ppl like you ! Some Real stuff . Thank you !!!

[zoeshorthouse]

Great idea! I have a feeling our 1st chicken coop will be made of pallets. This is one I can do without help from hubby.

[babsoneverything]

That's awesome!!! 🤣 Love the shingles especially!! The best part about this is that the chickens don't care!!

[jenniferclements]

You totally cracked me up! Thanks for the tips because I have access to tons of pallets and I never thought of them as possible chicken coops! I used tin and built a 10 x 13 foot coop but had to buy chicken wire, nails and 4x4s and used 2x4s also to get the height I wanted so my tall husband and son would fit into it without bending down. Still had $600 into it. Thanks for giving me options to consider because I need another coop because I have way too many roosters happen to me and needed ideas to keep them separate from my hens (besides culling them).
