New to the forum and thought I would post some pics of my coop I'm building along with my 14 chicks I got from Murray McMurray...Built from pallets and scrounged materials.[/ATTACH]

That is going to last a century. Great sturdy coop. I am impressed.
I too am a McMurray fan... great service and selection.

@john schumaker Welcome!

I love, love, LOVE IT! Repurposing for my chicken/duck habit is my second favorite thing (after the actual birds, of course). That coop is wonderful!

Thanks guys...I tend to overbuild.

Never! I was thinking about all the future problems you're going to avoid with that Fort Knox style house you put together!

Thanks guys...I tend to overbuild.

But you also tend to build once i suspect. Great project. Many will benefit from your photo documentation as well.

I wish I was so creative with found materials. Mine is costing me $$ to make it secure. Looks amazing!

Welcome, @john schumaker so glad you've joined us! What a nice build - what breeds of birds did you get?

But you also tend to build once i suspect. Great project. Many will benefit from your photo documentation as well.

Spoken like my DH and FIL, lol.

I got the 15 bird brown egg assortment from McMurray...it looks like some Buff Orpingtons ,two black ones,one white one,and some brown /white ones...the bonus was a Golden Polish that died two days after getting them along with a tan chick that died shortly after receiving them.So now I have 14.
