Yes, those are old cupboard doors. Also, recycled restaurant shelving, futon frame pieces, and an old garbage can coral

When I was younger, Made cages out of bread racks, old airconditioner cases , milk crates . old fan screens- whatever I could get. guess i carried that on into adult life!! LOL I love recycling !!

Here's an old pic of mine.

The plastic covering part of the door is now burlap and I have since added a 12"x12" door to the right of the big door.

and a side view.

I just added it to the side of my shed. There's actually a part of the coop going into the shed. I've also painted a different color since taking this pic. At this point it is a bit of an eye sore mixed with the shed.

LOL I had to add this. I jus found the pic of how it was originally built when I only had 6 chickens.

Jubylives - I think I see a little shantytown growing there! That has some real artistic promise!

One more comment....I think that as the economy continues on its unhappy course, we will see a lot more coops (and other things) made of recycled things...and I'm pretty sure that's a good thing. We have been a country of excess for a long time.

Kelly G... That's not a Shantytown, that's a Bantytown!

Juby; How many live in your hen-hotel now?

I like the fact that everyone is going green on their materials. Keep up the good work folks!
