Hey everyone! I was searching on Pinterest for chicken coops and we just cant afford those coops.. lol so I thought HEY! what if I took pallets(2pallets long and 2 pallets high) and put insulation in them and then put plywood on the inside of the pallet (to be the inside wall) and the siding stuff on the outside (for the outside walls) then I will have an insulated coop for cheap! ) then I just need to put hinges on one side to make for easy cleaning, make window holes for sun light, and make nest boxes.
I have 5 delaware chickens and I live in Fountain, CO which is between colorado springs and pueblo. Fountain has a 2sq ft/bird rule for coops, but we hope to move to colorado springs soon and they have a 4sqft/bird rule. Up to 10 hens, no roosters. This coop im planning will be 64sqft lol would that be too big for just my 5 hens? I may get 10 total in the future
What do yall think? Will it be warm enough for just my 5 in the winter?
