Anyone have a cheap coop design???

[OkapisRule]

Does anyone have an inexpensive coop design that can house 15 chickens? Please help. I would appreciate pics.

just another question, haven't seen it yet ... anyone used an old back yard swing frame as the framework for a coop and run ?

You can just use bales of straw and put an old truck bed topper on it. Cheap coop in minutes.

Not cheap but gorgeous play houses that would be great coops! I have seen a chicken coop created from a swing set, somwhere on the net, I found it when I was searching for ideas.

There have been some who have used pallets. Did you try the search? I see if I can find ya any links but be patient cause I'm sick.

Have you checked out the Coop Design pages or the Add Your Coop to BYC thread? There are wonderful recycled materials coops in both. Members' personal pages is another good source for coop ideas.

Hope this helps!

I got my coop off of Freecycle 6'x12'...someone else on here got theirs off of craigslist. Try those you will be surprised what you find on there.

I made mine out of pallets. I got some 4 X 16 and made the bottom and two sides. I then tore the rest of the pallets apart and used that wood to fill in the empty space. I then used chicken wire on one end. The other end is a 4 X 4 pallet converted into a door. I bought tin for the roof. The chickens love it and I have a hard oak coop that last forever. I house 23 chickens in it. It cost me a total of 66 dollars. I will try and post pics later.
