Here are some pics of my coop from last spring. Mom planted the tulips. She put wire over them to keep the chix from scratching up the bulbs.

Tonya,
If you have an air compressor or can borrow or rent one, the easiest and fastest way to put staples in is with an air staple gun. They are not very expensive and they are WONDERFUL ! You can also get an electric one.

A brad nailer / stapler for $17.00.... that's almost silly!

It is what I used to make this:
