Pallet coop- tips and ideas needed!

[JCOP]

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.

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.

Same here.

Think you'll have to do screen shots to show sketchup work @PippinTheChicken .

What are the dimensions of the roosts and nesting boxes? what is the storage and chick brooder?

My whole chick brooder space is 4x6...and has a separate run.
How many main flock members do you have?
