Coop supplies??

[Dixiedoodle]

I have known for several months that we would be moving to our farm (our forever home) this summer/fall. I have started hording supplies for my new coop. I have windows that we are replacing here, doors that I got from a remodel, metal roofing (it doesn't all match in color/shade but it all fits together (my son in law does roofing) , today a small round sink in prefect condition from a friends bathroom being redone--to use for washing eggs and I have several hundred feet of mix/match heights of chain link fencing..

Other than wood, plywood and screws what are some things I should be looking for? I need something for feed storage, something to store medical items in.

I want it to be pretty but I also like the idea of having things that are recycled/reused and love using items that are re-purposed-- Thanks for your suggestions and ideas...

Looks like you have it pretty much covered. If you don't have them already, you could keep an eye out for the hardware, like hinges, hasps, door handles, etc. Good luck!

I used drawers for my nestboxes.

Milk crates also work for nestboxes. Check out Craigslist and Freecyle for wood, PVC, feeders and waterers.

I use garbage cans with tight fitting lids for my feed storage. Cheap but effective.........

Thank you all, I have several metal trash cans that I keep the feed in now, I'll just keep an eye out for more.. I will have to check out Craigs list.. I never think to check there. I love the drawers for nest boxes.. I thought about using a sink for a nest box..
