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.

Hand-Built Stone Chicken Coop: Ultimate DIY Project for My Permaculture Homestead | Start to Finish
It took 2 months to build alone, but my hand-split stone chicken coop is just about finished and the chickens are enjoying a dry roost safe from the many predators that live in the surrounding forest - bears, wolves, coyotes, foxes, martens, fishers, raccoons, weasels and birds of prey.
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 addit...

Building a Chicken Run with a Breezeway to a Stone Henhouse (coop)
Просмотров 199 тыс.21 день назад
For reasons you'll see in a future video, I sloped the roof on the stone chicken coop towards the outdoor run, but with the heavy snowfall we receive each winter, the snow load would crush the roof trusses and wire screening on the top of the run. To overcome this, I built a heavy duty breezeway between the henhouse and the run and now the chickens have decided that's their favorite place to ha...
A Quiet Walk Through my Young Food Forest, Early June

Late spring in my four year old food forest and vegetable garden. This area of my property was dense forest when I started clearing it for food production in 2020. I used logs, branches and leaves from the trees I cut down to create wood chips, compost and hugelkultur beds and then planted fruit trees, berry bushes and annual vegetables. This year, I'll be harvesting fruit from the trees for th...

I’d like to see the inside please.
That coop is impeccable!
And everything for the daily self-produced egg on the table!
I think that's too fancy for chicken coop.

Reminds me of Three Little Pigs making their homes out of different materials. The wolf that buffs and puffs this stone structure will have great difficulty.

That's a Palace for chickens 😊. As a contractor myself, I say Good job 👏👏👏👏👏
