first time owner needs help

I think I spent $150.00 on my Turkey coop minus the cost of the Chicken wire I got the pallets from my work place free.
I do have a small window I got free I still might install I dont know.

Im confused at how the pallets were used?

The pallets were put togethers as a whole pallet (not taken apart) set side by side and nailed together and a few additional boards overlapping the pallets to ensure they were stable





Then sheets of plywood were put on over the pallets to complete the floor and 3 walls. The front wall and roof were framed out with 2x4s and then plywood to complete the front wall and roof. We put ice and water sheild on the roof to water proof it and also drip edge around the edges of the roof and then we added the final touches of the door hinges handles latches. If you look at the link I put up it shows most everything not in ful detail though and a few pics were added later as they were on my husbands phone so i posted them on the thread a little out of order at one point.

Frank53061 I watched your vid, your birds are so cute! Just a tip if you havent done so already, I noticed your birds having a hard time on their ramp. If you add slats across the ramp all the way down spread like 6 inches apart they would be able to get up and down easier with out slipping. Its like a chicken slide lol they were cute.
