I don't know if people can envision this, but the back and two sides will all be tin (three sides covered). The front will be a door and metal fencing. I'm making two for my meat chickens. I'll be making a roosting bar and a few other things for them. I didn't know what to do with the railings so somehow I got this vision.

They're like moveable chicken coops with a grass/dirt floor.

Not sure how many people repurpose things, but I've been doing it a lot since we started a farm. It's amazing what you can build when you just look at things from a different perspective.

Lockdown is official for the first 3 eggs. I checked the shipped eggs for the last time until they go into lockdown on Friday night. All 14 look good, still turning those.

There are a lot of people that repurpose things. There's a thread called What have you repurposed while building? People have done some amazing things! I hope you post pics when you're done building.

I'm so glad that you can direct me to these threads! It's so helpful. I will be done it maybe in 2 weeks. We are slowly doing them to make sure that they're good and there's no mistakes we have to fix later on

My pleasure. Smart to take your time and do it right the first time. Can't wait to see your pics!
