This is the simplest and best way to explain a chicken coop build to a person who has never built a thing in her life!! I'm excited to get started on this!! I appreciate this so much and I'm glad no camera women were harmed in the making of this video! lol

Very helpful. I'm going to bookmark this video for when I finally get enough giddy-up to build a coup.

Just built this exact coop from watching your video. Very well explained

[TheRawOG]

Just built this exact coop! I even showed it in my most recent video halfway through the build, and now it’s finished. Thanks a lot man

[TerranceRokosh]

Very nice, easily explained, well done. I like the use of the tin on the sides also.

[RapperHolik]

I love it man! To put the board in the inside of that door is such a great idea. I have had numerous damaged doors. Thanks

[williamcordova]

Really enjoy and appreciate the great video. The way you explain everything and give other options is great. Your terminology lets us jack of all trades guys understand what you mean. Thank you!

[justinhenderson]

Just built one yesterday! Amazing details, your list of materials spot on! Can’t thank you enough. We bought a farm and they had the chickens inside one of the horse stables. Well rats been having a field day! Not anymore. I love your other video showing a bunch of them side by side. Thanks again!

I have been looking for a video like this for a while. Thanks for making this project easier for me.

[JellyFamVid]

Just started this build today. So much easier than the A frame ground coop designs and its perfect timing found one of my dogs walking around with a chicken in its mouth. It lived.

Thank you so much. I have new landlords and the old landlord was letting me use his chicken house and fenced in area. Im a single mom so now im going to have to build a new one from scrap and thanks to you im going to be able to keep my chickens and build them a safe home. Thank you so much to you and your wife for allowing me to have access to this video. So much appreciated.
