Going to give it a shot

[Hedge]

I finally got around to starting a coop for my daughter that she was promised several years ago. I am going to do this on a tight budget, repurposing where possible. I had seen an ad on our local Craigslist for free pallets. I did go and pick some up thinking I could disassemble and use the wood and be done. Come to find out the wood used in the big heavy pallets was cheap at best. I was able to use part of one for the floor. I got the basic box put together yesterday after looking at numerous designs for a week or more. Heres where we are so far:




The collected pallets


One cut to useable size


Front and Back installed


Legs added

Nesting Boxes Made

Where we are until the weather clears
