Thanks so much! I absolutely love it and how easy it is to clean. With sand on the floor and a linoleum poop tray, it's been a breeze.
 
Yeah, the pallets were a beast. We did end up buying a reciprocating saw to saw through the nails. We tried to pry the pallets apart but ended up destroying too many panels.

Here is our coop that we built out of pallets. My husband and I are the opposite of handy, so I'm so proud of ourselves. We saw a similar coop online and just went off of their pictures to build our own. Our only tools were a drill, staple gun and jig saw, so I'm really pleased with how it turned out. :)

Oh AND a reciprocating saw

I always find it amazing what people can do with pallets. Job well done.

If you mean you used an Arrow style staple gun to affix the hardware cloth (yea, NOT chicken wire!) be aware that they will pull out easier than falling off a log. I suggest you add screws and fender washers (some people actually use metal bottle caps if they have a lot!) or poultry AKA fence staples:

Here's my coop/run. The footprint is 6x10; the run has a 2 foot apron. Every opening is covered with 1/2 inch mesh pneumatic stapled on. The primary run is covered with roofing.
There is a secondary run walled in by the chain link fence in the back, and the green house, coop, and fill in fencing/gate. So that makes a total footprint of 180 sq feet. The secondary area is covered with netting and only used in the day. There is an Ador1 automatic door between the primary coop/run and the secondary run.
Thanks for looking!

Very nice! What's the fan for outside the coop?

We had almost a 2 weeks spell of bizarrely warm weather. Sometimes there wasn't a breeze. The chickens would settle in the path of the fan to cool off!

It's gone now, we are back down to the 70's.

PS. Actually, if you look in the first pic, you can see a chicken tunnel I made from that free range door, to a wire and netting area under a tree on the lawn. This was a great spot for them. (No, my chickens aren't spoiled. Why do you ask?)
