I LOVE your channel i so love how down to earth and real you are you have such a sweet Way of talking to your viewers I'm from and still live in North Carolina and yes I am a southern country mom and I just love how you keep everyday living real. I send best wishes and i pray many more blessings come your way
ok thought I clicked on the wrong video no hat no overalls
wow, great idea! I would first put a layer of something to absorb any moisture that may be in the wood/concrete then on with the pretty floors!
It may be convenient, and easy, but isn't it toxic & off-gassing?
I've been meaning to thank you for some time now. We built a 10 x 12 pole barn with a divider in the middle and a run on each side inspired by you. I love it. I never would have thought it up myself. I went with a dirt floor though.
Try a squeegee.

GREAT idea! What about putting some kind of water barrier (water seal, or kilz)on top of the flooring before you put down the linoleum???
I remember my great granny had it in her coop. My papaw (her son) thought she was nuts but she said it kept stink down and made her girls a pretty home! LOL She was amazing. She lived and passed over in Gainesboro, TN. right outside Cookeville. She was 96 when she went home. Thanks for sharing. Hope it works great. Thanks for the memory! Love, hugs and blessings! Lisa
What a wonderful idea !!!❤
So an air conditioner is great in the summertime , and they will love u for it
I tried it along time ago , and my chickens kept dying and I couldnt figure out y , but finally it hit me , they were eating the floor
Just put peel and stick vinyl tiles to mine. I'm anxious to see how it works. My coop is small so I only needed six 12 x 24 tiles from Home Depot. Cost about $18.00. Took me about 90 minutes with the learning curve to install.
Does the linoleum cause any moisture to build up on the wood under it? And what coop beds do you recommend for the floor, nesting boxes, run and under roosts?!! Thank you!
Just wonderful, I've been looking for "easy to build chicken coop plans" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about – Machaaldity Coop Blaster – (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my friend got amazing results with it.
Nice
Who is the Alaska blogger you are referring to in this clip? I can't make out exactly who it is.
LOVE THIS IDEA!!! What do you think of adding it to the walls??
would the chickens peck at the linoleum?
I have a small coop,10×10 but it has a dirt floor and I'm just going to use the deep litter in it
Okay, it's been almost two years now. Any update on how you're liking it, and how it's lasting? We are in the planning/building stage of our coop.
We just built a coop and I thought, "Gee, I should put linoleum in my coop to make it easier to clean." And now I find this! Thumbs up!
Hey Patara! I'm going back and binge-watching all the chicken videos because I'll finally be getting mine this spring! I was wondering if the next time you clean out your coop, if you'd make like a complete clean-out video with everything you need to know to clean and maintain your coop.
I’m going to need u in the winter I’ll be watching ur great videos
This is what I'm going to do in our village old house, made of woods, stones, soil mud years and years ago. soon going to be a house of 2000+ layer chickens…
Interesting but don't you create a space between the flooring and the coup for mites to live.
We used linoleum on our old puppy whelping shed. We loved it, it worked great, we have since moved and I am about to buy some more for our chicken coop!
