And i might get some mirrors and photos to decorate it

So I think I might put the coop on the side on the run, instead of the end. So they have more space.

If its the same size wouldn’t it take up the same amount of space? but now you would have a narrow bit the you can’t put much in and would be difficult for chickens to get past each other if they fight

Here is one I done. It's just doesn't have the roof on yet. Really simple to do once you get the pallets apart. If you get a saw like this you can cut the nails and it makes it alot easier than the hammer and prybar method. You can build the whole thing with pallets still whole. Once you get it completely together you can then start busting pallets and over lapping the the boards. One end is on hinges so that I can get inside. The only thing I paid for was the roof panels, hinges, and nails. Everything else was free pallets from rural king. View attachment 2843814View attachment 2843803

Make sure you have the right blade.

DH told me the blade on ours was supposed to cut metal.

Perhaps the particular screw I was attempting to deal with was hardened (it was a random screw from DH's random screw storage), or perhaps he mistook the capability, but I destroyed the blade and barely scratched the screw.

Maybe I can put the shelf above the nests

This was done right before covid hit and wood wasn't expensive. We spent $20 on the 4 walls. It's a 4x4 and the height was done that way to easily access the back through our slope. I've had people question the height. It was done because our slope would've been in the way of the back. We added wheels to move it but let's be honest, it is heavy!!
My fence is all pallets.

Could you explain w a little more detail how you did this? Thanks!

Good luck. I tried to rip apart two pallets a couple of weeks ago and the supports in the middle were the only three pieces that were salvageable. I pretty much destroyed the rest of the slats. :/

Best way I’ve seen to disassemble pallets.
