Hand-Built Stone Chicken Coop: Ultimate DIY Project for My Permaculture Homestead | Start to Finish
181,531
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.

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!!

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.👏👏

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 🙂
-
The craftsmamship is on another level

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.
-
Mr.James, you know that if you have grandchildren you will have to convert it into a playhouse. It's beautiful!
-
That chicken house is the best chicken house I’ve ever seen. I think you should call it the chicken Palace.❤😊😮
-
"coop" isn't enough to describe this craftsmanship.
-
This has GOT to be the world's most expensive chicken coup !!!
-
Oh my gosh! That chicken coop is beyond awesome! I would live in it…… lol
-
That’s the most beautiful chicken coop I’ve ever seen!
-
Absolutely beautiful, Shawn. So much charm. There is no reason why things can't be functional and attractive.
-
You need to give your chickens grand names that live there- like “Queen Cluck,” “King Cluck,” “Princes Feather-Good “ and so forth, what a beautiful design!
-
Those chickens will be paying rent in eggs with that amazing chicken house, absolutely amazing
-
Beautiful! I’m not a hen, but wouldn’t mind an enchanted house like that chicken coop.😊
-
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.
-
That is the nicest chicken coop I have ever seen. It should keep the bears and other predators away from the chickens.
