Got birds, working on coop

Heard that I did Scott,
I saw another build out with pallets, the constructor said your never gonna get a real nice square but, you can do wonders with covering and trim. That's whT I'm hoping for. Planning on this being a cheque lil Chicky Cabin in the woods when done. I'll be using slab wood for exterior wall surface, lookin like logs lol

ok so if I read right your looking for sq ft for like 12 large birds? being the 8 are batams. not sure if that right but looks like you have done some research
and will be good to go on that footprint. I'm not that knowledgeable on all the breeds yet

I look forward to more pictures. I like watching the pallet one come together. I have worked with some crap 2x4 #2 before but not sure I could use pallets? They, in the shape the come in around here, might just cause my brain to lock up and melt trying to square and pump them all together.

I agree!

So, we're pretty close to completed with the interior, I gave the girls an Occupancy Permit anyway. Have the run posted out and one 4foot tall string of wire on right now. Once I get the exterior done I'll run another 4 footer and go over top as well. Photos to follow this post
