Building A Chicken Coop from Start to Finish | The ShabinLife
Hey Everybody, Hope all is well & thanks for stopping by the ShabinLife channel. In this video we build a chicken coop from start to finish. We're very excited to bring chickens onto the suburban homestead if only for a short time until we move up north when we take everything with us. If you've ever had questions or were looking for ideas on how or what to build as far as a chicken coop, I'm sure you'll find some great info throughout the video. I've borrowed ideas and concepts from a lot of different coop designs that can be found online and built them into our own custom chicken coop. I had thought about breaking up the video into a couple parts, but after editing began it seemed to flow better as one longer video (especially for people like me who may use the video as a reference, they can simply fast forward to parts of the build that they need info from).
- Chicken Coop cost approx. $350.00 to build w/ the Block Foundation, the Corrugated Metal Roofing and 1/2in Hardware Cloth costing approx. $175.00. I used as much hardware & scrap / reclaimed wood I could (dumpster diving for most of it... Also scored some scraps at my local Restore / Habitat 4 Humanity)
- Chicken Coop w/ Run is approx. 10.5ft x 5ft
- Sand used for the Chicken Run is a mix of All Purpose & Tube Sand (would use just Tube Sand in the future).
- Went with (for now) Pine Shavings for the Coop itself, but may switch over to sand in the coop once I move it to our land up north.
Special Thanks to:
- SSL Family Farm / Dad @sslfamilyfarm for their build from a few years back. I remember watching the original video when he was building theirs and looking forward to the day we built ours!!
Music Thanks To:

ShabinLife YOUTUBE CHANNEL:
Welcome to the ShabinLife channel here on YouTube!
We’re Dayna & David and we're excited to share our homestead journey with you. We currently own a home on a 1/4 acre in a suburb of Pennsylvania & have been trying to maximize usage of our small plot to it’s fullest potential. In 2016, after dreaming for years of owning enough land to live a more simple and sustainable, self sufficient lifestyle, we acquired 18 Acres & began the journey of building our future homestead! Our land is quite far from where we currently reside which limits our trips to the property to once a month or so. For the time being we post new videos (or at least try, lol) once a month with updates on how things are moving forward, our pits and peaks as well as sharing all the priceless info we’ve learned from the amazing channels we subscribe to here on YouTube. Please join us on our ShabinLife adventure as we continue Living Simple & Loving Nature.
