Would definitely benefit from more description but it looks like a good setup!

Nice set up. Would like to see more. What's in the fridge? Definitely could use some more information, and some descriptions of what was done.

The whole coop is made from salvaged pallets, I did purchase new metal for the sides, back, and roof. It's nothing fancy, just a safe place for my birds.

Before I put the metal on I put hardware cloth 6" up the side and about a foot out on the ground.

The Refrigerator, is actually a truck tool box, but now it's a feeder.

I added some sheet metal inside to make a hopper.

I cut a hole in the bottom and put an apron on the front.
It will hold three 80lb bags of feed in the hopper and two more will set on top of the hopper for storage.

I keep all of my other stock in the quail building, except for the treats, and cleaning stuff that stays in this old cabinet.
I'm having trouble getting my pic albums to display, when I fix the problem I will post more pics, thank you for your interest in my coop. 👍
