Any advice before I build my coop?

[Kristin228]

I'm building a chicken coop out of pallets and I have a pretty good idea of what I wanna do but I thought it'd be a good idea to get some input

I have 6 chickens but I will be adding more next spring. Any advice or ideas would be great thanks!

Mine are just simple---nothing fancy, Big one is 5x10 and will hold 50 + grown chickens for roosting only. The smaller will roost a dozen or more. Takes less than a hour to build the smaller.

Knowing your climate and your plans might help get you more specific advice.
