No food refills. No water checks. No daily chores. Not for a day — for two full weeks. This video isn’t about becoming a farmer. It’s about designing a chicken coop that doesn’t depend on you — so when life gets busy, the birds are still fed, watered, and safe. I like raising chickens. I love fresh eggs and the way animals bring life to the land. What I don’t want is another daily responsibility that ties me down or makes travel, kids, or real life impossible. I’ve watched so many people give up chickens after having children — not because chickens are hard, but because their setup required constant attention. That’s a design problem, not a chicken problem. So I set out to build a fully automatic, off-grid chicken coop that could reliably support 35 laying hens without daily human involvement. In this video, I walk through: The design philosophy behind a low-effort, resilient chicken coop -Why most backyard chicken setups fail long-term -Our automatic feeding system (600 lbs of feed capacity) -Our off-grid water solution using gravity and float valves -Predator-proof design choices -The nesting box and interior layout redesign -And the real-world test: leaving the coop alone for weeks at a time We live fully off-grid in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York — no grid power, no hose hookups, no constant supervision. Everything in this coop had to work without electricity, without running water, and without daily maintenance. The result is a chicken coop that replaces daily and weekly chores with simple monthly maintenance — and keeps the birds healthy and productive even when we’re not around.
