Final Adjustments and Chicken Release

awesome guys let's take you around the chicken coop real quick before we go this is the outside run in it's an 8 by 8 outside chicken run by 4 feet tall if I had to do this again I would have made it a full eight feet tall so that I could get in there and shovel out the manure without having to duck but it's still okay on top here we have some gourds drying for the winter those were there from last winter so we've got all the good gourds and this will slowly rot but I have it up here to keep shade on the birds and also in the summertime will grow gourds out over top of this so that we have shade on the birds now our nesting boxes are right here very easily accessible just raise it up boom you're right in there you don't have to go in the chicken coop to get the eggs now there's a sliding door and you'll see that open here in just a minute but inside the coop it's nasty right now because I haven't cleaned it in a little while but it's designed so that you can pull this wheelbarrow which I store under here out and rake all the manure right into the wheelbarrow and put it right on the garden so everything is in close proximity so you're not moving a lot of material let's open this up and these birds are ready to go out so we're going to go ahead and pull the little string that I have attached to raised the door inside the coop it's a 4 by 8 we'll pull this string I've got to wash your hook to it and it'll raise that door and the birds can go out and we just hook our little washer onto a nail right down here and now they have free reign to run out pretty cool those are the roosting poles and those are the nesting boxes this board comes out right here so we can rake all the manure right into the wheelbarrow now the outside run that's what houses the water so we just opened this door right here and set in some water pretty simple the birds have been inside all day long so I anticipate they'll be pretty excited about going outside their new door so on the outside you see there's open air so there's a lot of open air space to keep air moving in there in the winter time if it gets too cold we'll just staple plastic up there but typically it doesn't get that cold around here in North Carolina so if it's down below like five degrees will and windy will wrap it up but otherwise the birds do just fine this is premiere one poultry netting right here and we'll wrap the whole garden up in premiere one poultry netting and energize it so that the birds don't get out and…
