Hi Mike,

Mountain Peeps has given you some great links to check out. I've seen some really creative, well-made coops using recycled materials. You might want to document your build with photos and post them so we can see how it turns out. Good luck to you!

Thanks for joining us

Nice to meet you Mike, glad you joined us at Backyard chickens. Lots of folks have used pallets in building their coops, and also any good finds they make at rehab stores.
Some large appliance stores, may have BIG wooden crates they are discarding that held refrigerators , etc. They can be made into suitable coops as well. Your Craig's list may be a place to score chain link fencing or other materials you can use. Sometimes people are giving away their chickens with coop included.
