Hand-Built Stone Chicken Coop: Ultimate DIY Project for My Permaculture Homestead | Start to Finish
276,121
Published 2024-06-29
I am moving on to my next homestead building projects and will return to the coop to clean the stone of mortar and grout the joints later this summer.
Upcoming projects include another firewood storage shed, a small building to store lumber from my sawmill, a workshop expansion, a walk-in cooler and processing set up for wild game and domestic livestock, a maple sugar shack, a log sauna and a bedroom addition on my log cabin. Between building projects, I'm growing 1/2 an acre of food for my family, including an orchard, and another 5+ acres for wildlife and livestock. Most of our protein comes from fish and game that I harvest from the wilderness of Ontario Canada, and we're preparing to raise livestock again, including beef, goats and pigs in addition to poultry.

Hi, I'm Shawn James. I am a passionate outdoorsman living the life of my dreams in a log cabin that I built by myself in the Canadian wilderness. Join me and my golden retriever, Cali and listen to the sounds of the forest in this relaxing wilderness setting. I prefer to keep my talking to a minimum and let the natural sounds of nature make you feel as though you are there with me.

For a chicken coop, that is a mansion! Chickens are living in the lap of luxury.

That's the prettiest chicken house I have every seen in my 71 years.

This has got to be the most beautiful chicken coop I've ever seen.

It is plainly apparent that Shawn has experience keeping predators away from his chickens.

200 years from now a new owner will be looking at this beautiful homestead with this amazing building and will never believe it when evidence indicates it was a chicken coop. Those are some pampered cluckers!!

Finally, a foxproof chicken coop! Nothing will be digging its way into there. Those chicks are safe. Not to mention that that is the prettiest coop I've ever seen; a perfect marriage of form and function 🙂

Through my years of watching you, you have consistently shown yourself to be the most creative and productive person on YouTube. The fact that you also film, edit, narrate and post your content yourself makes it that much more impressive. I was so sorry for you when you essentially had to walk away from your previous property and all that hard work. It would have broken many men, but you not only bounced back, but you exceeded your previous accomplishments in record time. Much respect, from a retired contractor.👏👏

That chicken house is the best chicken house I’ve ever seen. I think you should call it the chicken Palace.❤😊😮

The most eye-catching, aesthetically pleasing henhouse on the planet. How lucky are those hens! The safety precautions are paramount of course, and no bear or wolf or bird of prey is going to be able to storm that stronghold.

You just built the world's finest chicken house. You should be winning awards for this one.

Those chickens will be paying rent in eggs with that amazing chicken house, absolutely amazing

Mr.James, you know that if you have grandchildren you will have to convert it into a playhouse. It's beautiful!

We need more men like you, sir! Incredible work as usual!! I hope that this generation of boys will have a male role model that teaches them what a great thing it is to he a man, to protect their families and how incredibly important they are!! I appreciate all the boys and men in my life and I will be forever grateful ❤.
