Keene's coop :
i di craig's list and i got ALL of my wood for free and got it pretty fast. also check local constuction sites for housing.
Wow! Free is hard to beat! I checked Craig's list and did find that I can get some of the lumber my plan requires at a discounted price vs Home Depot -...

Hello neighbor! I am so exited to get started - I am hoping to go buy coop building supplies this weekend.
For anyone interested, I did find another potential source of inexpensive building supplies - Habitat for Humanity has a thing called a "ReStore" - they sell left over...
Dread Pirate - your coop looks great! I am not much of a building designer so I got a predefined plan. I'm recruiting some friends who have the tools to help me -- I'm hoping to have it done by April. Wish me luck!
I am just north of San Antonio. Good idea on Craig's list - I should have thought of that - I looked there for coops. Makes sense to check for materials!
I'm new to the forum - I just ordered my first set of chicks - one Marans and three Easter Eggers (EE?). I'm sooo excited to get them and my kids are out of their minds thinking about them arriving week after next. So that we can give them a safe secure coop and run in our little yard...
