Recycled Material Coop by Dinosaurolophus posted Sep 18, 2017 at 8:52 AM This is a picture of my coop made from recycled materials. I used an old swing set stand for the base and covered the sides with pallet boards. The paint is an old can of deck stain. Its main purpose was for housing...

Hello! I am a mother hen to 6 chickens right now. Last year was our first year in chicken ownership so we had to have a coop. We scoured the internet for free and cheap recycled materials to make a coop. We had a goal in mind of using recycled good and saving money. We found a free kid's...

Our little chicken coop is in the extreme southwest corner of the state of Washington. Just a short walk to the beach and the Pacific Ocean. It's a little rainy but folks here don't mind. After years of dreaming, and trolling on this website I decided to get to building the coop. I've read on...

This is a raised gun dog kennel that I built for my yellow lab almost 30 years ago. She passed on after 16 great years and a standard poodle took it over for a few years until he got a doggy door and decided his bed in the house was more comfortable. It is constructed of redwood and is rock...
