    Coops are they always a work in progress?

    LOL in one word yes! We have a rather big coop and it still seems like we are always wanting to add or change something.

    Outside Coop Paint?

    we used farm and home barn paint, unfortunately you have two color choices red or white. But it works great, goes on like stain covers like paint and seals wonderfully.

    Pallet Jack Pot

    Great find! I am so happy to hear that others get as happy as I do at finding free lumber or other goodies to use around the farm most of our friends look at me like I need a trip to the looney bin when I tell them about my finds and they see how excited I get.

    Pictures of your home-made coops and runs!

    Okay here is ours looks done but there is some more I want to add to the uncovered area of the run. Some trim inside and out that needs finished and landscaping to be done. In the spring I am adding a rubber liner to the duck pond since the old fiberglass tub is cracking. The walls are made...

    Stained glass windows for my future coop

    They are just gorgeous I would just love to have something like that. Quote: I totally agree, but they should have both. There are so many very talented people on here, with a very wide range of artistic mediums. And there is also some amazing ideas when it comes to pimping the coops.

    would installing a drain in the bottom of the coop be helpful?

    Why All The "Junk"?

    I totally feel the pressure of the "keep up with the Jones" affect that is why I am so proud when I can say oh this was built from free pallets w or this all was recycled from this or that or my duck pond is a corner tub I bought at auction for a dollar. I think It is great to hear about all...

    Building a coop out of pallets!

    Ours is out of 4'x14' oak pallets, but we covered it inside and out with osb that we painted with barn paint to protect it. This gave us an air barrer for insulation (my hubby does hvac so he was a little nuts about.) Pretty much we used the pallets for the framing.
