Ugh... I am NOT a carpenter.

When I first bought my chicks I bought plans for the pallet coop from MPC. I had plans of building a beautiful coop and painting a mural or something on it. Well, I have no upper body strength and had a heck of a time breaking the pallets apart. I started looking to buy a coop. They seem to be so expensive. The cheapest I found was the chik-n-hutch witch looks like it fall over if I looked at it too hard. I managed to get enough boards apart to build two solid floor pieces. I decided to build from the pallets and whatever I had lying around the house. My coop is turning into a hideous monstrosity of ugliness! I am not having an easy time. I have never built anything in my life. On top of that I am hobbling around with a sprained ankle. I SO want to be done. I'm hoping that as I get some money I can buy some lumber and fix it up a bit.

Anyways, excuse my whiny rant. I just wanted to get it off my chest and see if anyone had any ugly coop pics to share.

We are currently building a new coop but this is the little shanty my chickens have been living in. This was a hand me down coop from friends of ours. They built a bigger one so we inherited this one. My dh and ds built the run. Pretty nice, huh

Well, I guess mine is ugly, but functional and mostly FREE!

I have it split in half sorta. There's two pens outside and I put a door inside so I could seperate my silkies.

This is the sillkies side

This is my cochin, EEs and one silkie side.

my coop was already built in part of our 90+ yr old barn, I dont have any pics but its ugly but very functional. and the girls dont mind it at all!!!

Mine is from materials on hand, most of which were warped. Hubby's not a carpenter, but I can be with the right materials and tools, just wish I had real, unwarped lumber to play with

I built this out of scrap wood, don't plan on painting it, and the roof is covered with an old tarp from my kids play set. It works though.
