Our First CHICKENS & Tour of our OFF GRID homestead!! 4K

What happens here

The team starts the assembly process by laying down the main floor panel of the coop. They then attach the first set of side walls, which come pre-assembled with windows already in place. This panel also includes cutouts for the nesting boxes. They carefully align and secure these components, following the kit's instructions. A level is used to ensure the base is flat, crucial for proper assembly.

Goal: Construct the main structure of the chicken coop.
