Hey Y'all!

Our coop was HIGHLY inspired by the Cottonwood Shanty Coop:

If you were a chicken, you would end up with your throat slit when you couldn't lay enough eggs for the humans. Why would you want to be used and killed?

I agree, Blessed to have good men in the family. 💖💖💖 I love the idea of raising chickens. . I live in NYC, & some folks from upstate NY took over a small plot in the lower east side. I passed it every day on my way to school. ( I was doing my post graduate work. ) - They built a small chicken house & had 10 chickens. I watched them grow up / through the weeks & months .. I was surprised & grateful that they did so well. No casualties so far as i could tell, . I had some concerns, bc the chicken house was quite simple, & there was no caretaker at nigh. It was not animal/ with regards to rats coming in, etc. Not was it weatherized so far as I could see. > That winter, NYC was hit w: a major nor’easter that shut down all flights going in or out of NYC. Twice in two weeks time. . - I don’t know how they survived in the little shack on an empty lot ? Perhaps, the owner, moved them to a warmer place during the storm? > It warmed my heart to see them every day - out & about & walking around. > I also recall, there was a peach tree that actually produced fruit. I asked the caretaker if I could have one. And they obliged. It was a real peach .. 🍑 It was a small patch of heaven . > When summer came, the chicken project was over. / I passed by - and they were all gone. - I remember there was a gold sculpture hanging from a tree ... It was a merkkabah: .. Another mystery. . But - I loved seeing it there, spinning in the breeze ...🤩 That was 10 years ago. Enjoy your lovely chickens. 🐣🐥🐓🐓

I’ve seen untelling number of people on here talk about the chicken waterers getting dirty from them pooping in them and then do a rain catchment system and not do a first catch system on it. Worth a thumbs up for for the first catch, no barb poop water for your chickens.

Just put chains and hooks for the windows above the ‘truck bed door’, to keep them open when you need them to stay open, so that the wind doesn’t shut them. Great job! Looks great and looks like it will function really well for years to come!

What an awesome finished dream for your chickens 🐓💕! You did a great job Dave 😎. Ali what a neat color palette to make it cute 🥰! The gutter system/ rain ☔️ catching barrel in just genius. Lugging water in the Texas heat would have been a huge job 😳. I’ve never seen a feeder or timed locking door like that. Smart investments👍🏻! Great job to all of you and thank you so much for sharing 💗🤗!

Thanks so much, Kim! So far, they have been a JOY to care for because I don’t have to do much. 😂🤣😂 Just worm them every 3 months, turn over their litter in the coop once a week, fill their food bin every 10 days, turn over their water cups every few days and spoil them with (a responsible amount of) treats. They are so awesome!!!!

Your set up looks excellent. when I was a child my Dad would make a nice big chicken house and a big vegetable garden. He would build a chicken run all around the garden, about 2 foot high. The chickens ate all the bugs before they hit the garden. It worked great, Happy hens and a healthy garden ❤.

What a really beautiful coop.!! You have such a loving and caring husband, and your son helped also with his creativity and 3D printing. I want my husband to be more creative, but unless it has to do with a vehicle, and or the electrical systems of a vehicle or air-conditioning systems, I am totally out of luck. Yeah, and I decided to go have a look at your channel because I thought that you were going to be another gardening and homesteading channel and I just love those types of channels and what they can teach by example. But when I saw all of your creativeness I got so excited because I also just love all of that too. I watched your February 2022 video and I am sorry you went through such a really awful time with your sweet little bird and your son's appendix scare. I am really glad that everything turned out alright in the end, and I cannot wait to watch more of your videos for scripture inspiration and journaling, and just creativeness (is that a real word??). Best of luck to you always and many Blessings as well. May you always have good health and safety for your family in these uncertain times, and prosperity in all things you do. God Bless ~SuzyJC_05.11.2022~

Hi Ali and David, Just LOVE your Dream Coop!!! We were so inspired by your informative video we just had to build our own. We purchased the Cottonwood Shanty plans which got us started and then studied the video for all your clever customizations. We also added a roof over the run and a heated "water bar" just like Carolina Coops because we live in the Vancouver area. Thanks to you both we have very HAPPY ladies!!!😊

I would have never thought in my life that I would be completely entertained by watching people's chicken coop designs lol.... My suggestion for the drop down door (and I'm not handy haha).... Put a hook/eye (not sure if what that's called) from the corner of the door to the side of the coop so you can hook it open....😁🤔 Thanks for sharing all your ideas! Cynthia in Mpls 😊

Very good! I would leave the floor open but covered with hardware cloth. Then all the poo will fall to the ground and decompose or be gathered up for garden. Eliminate labor and maximize benefit. On the groundpoo will be eaten by worms and make better fertilizer.

Grass clippings from a yard that has not been treated and any garden waste makes great fodder for them in their chicken run area and can help keep down on the mud.
