Looks highly practical, but without either plans or detailed build photos I don't think people would be able to duplicate it.

Nice build. Too bad it was never updated to show the finished results.

It's good that you referenced the source of your plans but would have been even better to have explained the modifications you made and why.

Splendid, well-ventilated coop for a warm climate!

I rarely give 5-stars without plans but since pallet builds are inherently a "use what you've got however you can situation" I am making an exception. The only major improvement I see would be to increase the roof overhang on all sides to give more protection against sideways rain from tropical storms and nor'easters.

Very small, but cleverly designed for the specific purpose intended and gorgeously-finished.

Needs plans and build photos.

Plans! Detailed build photos! Good size and appropriate ventilation! 👍

It could use more explanation to go with the individual photos and some information about your design choices.

Aesthetically beautiful and much better ventilated than the usual run of small coops. A bit too "wee" for my tastes, but the stationary-to-tractor conversion is a fabulous feature.

The sketches are helpful, but actual plans would have been nice to have.

The windows are an excellent addition.

Needs plans to help people build a duplicate.

Nice build. Glad that you updated it, proving that it passed the test of time.

Needs dimensions and plans to help people duplicate it.

Interesting and informative.

Would be good to know how it held up over successive batches of eggs.

Interesting, but rambles a good deal without getting down to the simple basics of what feeds are appropriate, what sort of feeders geese can use, etc. to help a new goose owner understand how to provide for their needs.

Nice tip.

You could include comparisons on big bag vs small bag for other chicken staples as well -- grit, oystershell, scratch, mealworms, shavings, etc.

Minimal information. Needs examples of the various incubator types, needs to include tabletop vs cabinet, pros and cons of the different styles, etc.

Excellent use of found materials. I particularly like the photos of how you framed the roof with it's generous ventilation.

Needs dimensions and more details of how the run was built to go with the photoessay.

Really wonderful use of found materials and a great explanation of the trial and error process as you learned what did and didn't work for your specific situation.

A really beautiful complex with the chickens worked into your landscape in a way few people accomplish.

Unfortunately, almost no information that would help people duplicate the actual coop -- which looks well-ventilated and thoughtfully laid out from what we can see of it.

Wonderfully picturesque and beautifully finished!

Unfortunately, there are no build details, plans, etc to help others duplicate this remarkable build. :(

Excellent build photos. It's easy to tell that y'all know what you're doing when it comes to building things.

Lacks only plans.

Excellent conversion of a found structure and good idea for the seasonal adaptation, but short on details about size, layout, how the seasonal change is done, etc.

Nice look at the design and build process for the remodel. Seeing how you built it in panels should help people move their projects along more readily.
