I used pallets and I had some 1.5" insulated wallboard I stuffed inside the openings, covered it w/ window screen wire inside as they WILL pluck at it and eat it!! I have it up on cement blocks - it's not fancy but it works. Keeps them warm in Montana winter and it really is cool inside in summer (coop is better insulated than my house I think!).
I used some old fence wood I had for siding. I have a small flock now but I will be adding on this spring. this very basic design is easy to ad onto, just a few more pallets! I got mine for free so I spent about $25 on the 1/4" mesh for the floor (ventilation) and had window screens around to pull apart to cover insulation inside. Roof is the only thing I still need to finish. It's got the insulation w/ a tarp right now til I figure out my expansion project. hope this helps. There tons of idea for pallets out there in the etherworld!!
Seems pics didn't turn out right.....
