I just posted this pic but i just realized all the birds that are in this pic are males. Lol all the females must be hiding from them.

over lapping is the way to go. I did the over lapping on mine. No air gaps. Don't know if you seen my pic i posted earlier butt here is another. Just make sure the boards are level and keep same spacing. I used a scrap piece of pallet and did a over lap of 1 1/2 inches.

looks great so far. My coop is built out of pallets. Looks bout the same size as yours. I used pallet boards as over lapping siding. This summer Im putting a new roof on it. Coops are always in a work in progress. :-)

My kindergartner did a project in school hatching chicken eggs. They are hatched 13 chicks and guess what he gets to bring them home. Super excited not only we hatch eggs at home my son got to do it at school. His teacher called said he did a awesome job and knows so much about hatching. So now...
it's 55 right now suppose to be like 65 today. It feels so nice. We was outside doing yard work all day yesterday. Thinking of taking some chicks outside today at the peak of the day. sent from your friendly neighborhood poultry raiser! cluck... cluck...
What's the temps in your area? Not your incubator temps but weather temps. I figured i better clarify that since most of us are hatching fanatics. Lol
