    Project French Cajun Bayou Shack

    I acquire free wood. Be it pallets, fence, furniture elements; in the alleys, on the Craigslist, friends, roadside, neighbors. I'm not exactly sure what I'll do with it at the time, but man hands gotta handle, and creators gotta create. I originally let my backyard chickens build and...

    Pallet CoopMagedon

    I am one to think outside the box and since I live in a limited fixed income I am always looking for cheap but sturdy ideas. That's why my first coop, when I had 1 rescue chicken was made of an old solid wood cabinet. It was 2ft × 3ft and it worked great for her. This year I enlarged my flock...

    Pallet/Free Lumber Coop Pics

    Just wanted to share/brag on my husband who took two months to build this during his afternoons after getting off work. Half of it was built in the dark while wearing a headlamp. He got the pallets, posts, and lumber free from the city landfill/dump site. The fencing and tin roof was leftover...

    Pallet Duck House Mold Question

    Hello, ya'll! So we are nearly finished building our pallet coop now and I want to make sure it's safe for our ducks once they're ready to go in. Our main concern is mold at the moment since we're using untreated pallets and we live in the rainy state of Washington. So far we gave the whole coop...

    Pallet coop question

    Hey y'all! I got a bunch of pallets to use the wood to build my coop (lumber prices are way too crazy right now!), and all the pallet coops I see just use the lumber itself. I'm curious if there are any downsides I'm missing to using the whole pallet as-is? It seems like an easy way to build the...
