I ran out of hardware cloth to finish the big coop so I decided to start on the breeder pen with the scraps I had stashed. Its turning out pretty nice.

Coon and fox proof. Hardware cloth is buried 18" covered in gravel, then a landscaping brick, then the frame the hardware is attached to, then anchored to the outside board.

Retaining wall looking west. The grassy area where the shovel is leaning against the building will be where we are going to build an addition to the coop for our breeding pens.

Building the retaining below the run. Temp fence is up in the run. Trying to find more reclaimed lumber to start on the perminent one. Gotta love Craigslist all those cinder blocks, landscaping timbers and 4x4 posts were free.

Area next to the flower bed will be a gravel walk-way that will eventually go all the way around the coop. Garden gate in made from a pallet I cut in half. Turned out pretty cute.

The Old Yolks

Our Pallet Coop

Trying to be green and use as much reclaimed product as possible. Hubby did an amazing job!

The Old Yolks
Hubby built the main structure and told me "have at it girl" to do the rest. He should have known better. He just shakes his head whenever he comes to peak at my progress, and as he is walking away & mumbles "it's just a chicken coop" I shout " I love my chicken coop honey, thank you". It is an almost daily routine. I secretly know he is loving watching me go wild! I want to pass on a huge thank you to everyone who has posted their ideas here. I used many of those to do the finish work on mine.
