Coop plans/ideas needed

[Cheyenne97]

Hey guys, I have an unlimited supply of pallets I can get. I already have about 8 in my backyard. I’m wanting to build my own coop. I currently have two coops, because my flock is large I needed two different sized coops.

I’m wanting to build one large coop for 11-12 birds. They free range all day long so I won’t be needing a run. They get let out at 7 am sharp everyday. Does anyone have any plans they are willing to share? Bonus points if I use pallets.

Thank you!

I’m wanting to do something like this.

Well figure 6x8 for 48 sq ft for 12 birds giving each bird 4sq ft. In the coop. I would still add on a run after coop done at 10 sq ft per bird so 120 sq ft if able for weather and predator protection.

Just adjust plans to 6 x 8.
