Build the perfect back yard chicken coop..fun project idea!! Easy to clean!!
What happens here
The presenter begins the tour by showcasing the exterior chicken run, an 8 foot by 8 foot (8'x8') wooden cage. This run is constructed using hardware cloth, which provides secure enclosure. A hinged door allows for easy access to the inside of the run for tasks such as cleaning and adding fresh wood shavings or sawdust. The presenter demonstrates entering the coop and mentions the intention to have a 'chicken release party' once the coop is ready for chickens.
Goal: Build a secure and accessible exterior chicken run.
