I have to build a small "transition" coop for nine 8wk old pullets that I have in the brooder still. I have decided to use a pallet as the floor and have some old plywood shelves to cover it with. I also have some old fencing that I can use for the walls and more plywood for the roof. I've got the outside and floor all figured out but need help with the inside...

I know it's going to be small but the girls won't be in it for too long and they snuggle anyway. I am not sure how to set the inside up for them though? I need suggestions. I am also wondering if I should leave the front open or just partially closed/covered?

Thanks for the help

I would cover it, make it as usable in the future as you can you never know you might need it for something else. We all know chicken math.
 
I just looked at the coop farmer Lew just build and maybe I will just put a door on the front with a chicken door at the bottom, that way i can still get in to clean it easily.

I have a couple poles set aside for roosts but should I add anything else to the inside or would you just go basic since it's just for "babies"?
