Hey Kevin , Chickens can not see in the dark ....so if your vent tube was transparent ....I think she would have went in ......I had same problem with mine ....wouldn't go in coop at night , until I shined a flashlight inside ....I finally got a motion solar light ....so they are all good now. Great video as always, keep up the great work.

Nice work Kevin! The Chick-Inn looks awesome and should provide a nice cozy place for all your chickens to live :) I like how you strive to spend as little money on your projects as possible. I am very much the same way with how you plan and stash materials til you’re ready to build. One suggestion would be to use wood chips rather than straw for the bedding. It absorbs much better. Cheers from north Bay Ontario 😊

Really nice build. Those are some lucky chickens! I would live in that coup. One thing, please wear a mask when you are in an enclosed area kicking up construction dust. I want to follow you for many years to come. Ops! Second thing, the window that leads directly into the coup needs wire to keep out predators. It would be easy for a fox to push it open and have a delicious chicken dinner.

But it is bought and paid in full before I got to me. And now I can make special wood boards that you can not but at Home Depot. I also shop @ Princess Auto but here Alberta Canada. A mans store that is what my wife calls it lol.

Great job Kevin, love the whole design. We have kept chickens for the last 12 years. One tip, chickens lay eggs according to how much sunlight they get. Summer = Tons of Eggs, Winter = Sad face. You can stimulate more egg production in winter by adding a lightbulb on a timer. More light, more eggs. Since you have power onsite, it should be an easy fix. Love the channel and all your positive content. Full stop
