My pallet coop, about 3.5 x 3.5 metres.
Fits 10 chickens plus more room to add more shelves and roosts when needed.
I filled in pallet gaps (some pallets had boards so didn't need to fill gaps) used recycled timber bits and added tarps I can roll up for weather protection and ventilation. Roof is recycled tin. Broody coop inside is pallet also. Screen door is recycled also.

I've done well with pallets that are still.in good shape.This is time consuming but FREE! My husband cut all the nails then bumped them out .so far we have a floor that is 3 pallets long and the walls are almost done. KEEP IN MIND VERY TIME CONSUMING .But you can add to it as you want.We are adding 2 old vintage windows for light and ventilation one will be a skylight.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. :/
Could you explain w a little more detail how you did this? Thanks!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.
