8 x 16 Pallet chicken run.

[McChooky]

8 x 16 ft enclosed run for 6 hens.Everything used in this project was recycled,repurposed or used( concrete blocks, construction waste and pallets) The screws, staples, latches, hinges,hardware cloth, heavy duty netting and bag of calcium hydroxide were my only expenses around$300. The top will temporarily be covered with netting until I get up another roll of hardware cloth for the top and apron.

I'm hoping to add 5-6 strands of electric fence around the sides after it is done due to the many predators we have( weasels, owls, hawks, raccoons,coyotes,bears )

Thanks! It actually looked pretty neat after I put a couple coats of lime white wash on it but a thunderstorm came after I put the hardware cloth on and washed most of it off.Now its a dingy gray instead of white!
