Buckeye Boudoir
A new coop just for Buckeyes...check my story on my BYC page!
Due to an apparent shortage of Buckeyes, and since I'm one of the "dang Yankees" who came to Texas (thanks to Uncle Sam) and decided to stay (originally from Ohio), I've decided to build a coop just for that breed...
Well, I made the mistake of starting with only half a plan, and no idea where to go from there. I'll let the pictures tell the story.
Obviously, its a pallet coop.
It took me a whole month to build this thing, with some major refinements, and help from some friends of the family...
After reading some Self-Sufficiency books and surfing the Internet I got bit by the chicken bug. We decided to order from a hatchery and I started dreaming of building a coop. As a family on a budget, we knew we would need to do this on the cheap and we are renters, so we had to make sure that...
We're working on a coop - not ready for chickens, obviously, but in process. We've tried to use the advice we've gotten from here and there, which has been an interesting process since the one thing most of the people we've talked to agree on is that they don't agree! Here is what we have so...
When I first decided to build a coop for my future chickens I knew that I needed to do it as cheap as possible. Our original plan was to house about a dozen hens, and then about a dozen meat chickens. I knew that I did not want them to be in the same coop, so we began knowing that we would need...
THE DEATHSTAR TURKEN COOP
This coop and run were made entirely from old pallets, old roofing, and leftover wire. Broken down and recycled into a luxury ranch for the Turken Hens and the Emperor Blue Silkie Roo.
Total cost: $8.00 and 8 hours.
Sorry there were no plans for this. I just made the...
I thought I would show eveyone my coop. It took a while to build. We used 2 palettes for the base one 8x4 and one 4x4. I used left over logs to attach the corners, then covered it with wood from other palettes. The building is roughly framed with 2x4's my husband couldn't wait for more palettes...
This is a few pallets I put together so the girls would have something to play on in the run..
This is the finished pop door I made for the run
Here is the hanging feeder I made.
This is a pic of the front door with summer panel opened.The panels are made from scrap pallets I got from my...
Rustic Pallet Coop Addition
Late August 2010. As winter approaches, the girls are going to need more room in bad weather. I've decided to add on to my inherited coop, which came with the property. It's old and ugly, but has served the girls ok so far. I'm no carpenter, but am not letting...

Porch-Coop
THIS IS FOR THOSE WHO MAY HAVE A PORCH LIKE MINE THAT CAN BE EASILY CONVERTED INTO A CHICKEN COOP, OR MABEY EVEN A PEN FOR SOME OTHER SMALL ANIMAL.
Here is a great way to make good with Exzisting Items you have laying around,
When a Stray chicken showed up at our...
