It isnt the prettiest thing, but we bought this at a local Habitat for Humanity store for $7. It had been in the store since 1984!

It was an old TV cabinet, so we just covered it up with some free hardware cloth. It serves as a great brooder or broody hen house.

My peafowl pen.
The run is an old tarp we used to cover our previous tractors. We got a new tarp so I decided that one could be used.

I even found a full sheet of washable wall board there. ( it is behind one of my roosts )
Broken down pallets used for MANY things around here.

I had a outdoor animal hutch and used the hardware cloth from that for the windows. ( was no longer stable as a home for the pet )
The neighbor was tearing out their deck and the railings made a nice tool organizer.

We use a wide variety such as 2x4s, 2x6s, 2x8s, 4x4s, 5 x7 s, 7x9s, 7x12s and no telling what other sizes. We pick up so many pallets and just create things to make. I'm sure there are other lengths that I may not have listed. Some of the places that we get them from are glass companies, farm implement stores and car dealerships. We get a lot of shipping crates. The hard part is taking them apart but once you add up the thousands of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ that you can save by using pallets, it's worth every drop of sweat.
