lots of people use pallets, we just brought home a truck load of pallets and scrap wood to frame out our coop this week *egg-cited* then we are going to go round the outside with metal sheets, give lots of vents/windows, ease of access and external nest boxes
A friend of mine made coops, hay racks, and hutches out of pallets. They have to be in cood condition (not rotting) but it is definitely a good idea.
Google it ! Youll come across lots of pics !
this is a really a nice looking coop do you have pics of the finished product ? and the interior would love to see it . trying to get some ideas. what did your husband use to keep the pallets standing?
Don't forget to consider predator-proofing around the edge if you are leaving a dirt floor (for example, burying or aproning out hardware cloth) to keep diggers out. Also rodents.
