Pallet chicken coop ideas??













Ok ga boy and too fast here is my take on the atlanta style coop i wanted for a breeding pen i finished up the run panels this evening and will have it moved to its home location and run all bolted up saturday so i will post the finished pics then dementions for the coop are 45x48x40 high two 12x12x15 external nest boxes for easy egg collection it has a ceramic light fixture to give 14 hours of light to maximize egg output as my primary use will be for breeding four hens and a roo per sesion run demensions are 45x 9 foot with one roost bar and removable poop pan
El pollo, nice looking. Are you going to use a timer for the light source for your egg production?

. Yes I run my hen house on a 15 hr light cycle I have it turn on at dusk before my hens return to roost and it runs for five hrs then off so they get a natural sunrise it has almost doubled my egg production from my laying flock well worth the effort to run power out to the coop I hope to get the same effect with my breeding hens in this new coop and run a egg per day should allow me to hatch 40 or 50 chicks a month
