Thank you for the compliments. I think you could make it look nice as well. Though, again, the time it takes to work with pallets is very laborious and consuming.
I have 3 built in nest boxes and have a 4' shelf that could be used as well. And yes I agree with you that there is no need for that many nests. It is more for the aesthetics than practicality. I personally use 1 nest box for every 4 hens in my set up.
To be totally honest this coop is based off of my concept for a southern area back yard chicken wrangler that free ranges like myself. But given the much colder winters and the foxes in the area here I will have to add to the coop in the run area I am going to set up. I'm thinking of running the pallet wood vertically like it is on the house to "box things in a bit". And make a large run.
More to come next week as I have some long work days ahead.
