Before my brooders were built, that is what I was using. I loved those boxes.

Free pallets and shipping crates is all that we use. It is VERY difficult to pry the wood off of them. The person that builds all of my pallet coops uses a hammer and crow bar to hammer, hit and pry the wood away. And then he takes all of the nails out of the wood. It is NOT easy. We finished our peacock aviary recently and we used ALL pallet wood. Painting is scheduled for this weekend. I don't want to hijack this thread by posting my pics so I included this link if you would like to click on to see.

First let me say that there is nothing lowly about that shipping crate! I am sure it inspired envy in more than just my bargain-loving soul!
I love your coop. It has an old-time outbuilding style that really appeals to me.

That is terrific! Recycling at its best! Best wishes on your new arrivals.

Anybody know where I can get one of those huge wooden shipping crates? Am in Colorado, 1 hr SE of Denver. I want one (or 10!) to build goat houses and chicken coops.
