Am working on completing my new coop that is divided into 4 sections and runs to house my 4 chicken groups. Have been gathering the materials for a year to construct my house and runs from recycled materials and pallets. It is amazing what you can get for free if you know where to look or ask. One example is that garage door installers receive their supplies on very heavy duty 24" x10 foot pallets that work great for framing runs or for roofs. They have to pay to get rid of them and will happily call you when they want to get rid of them. I also got 24- 16 foot 2x6's and 38- 8 foot 2x4's when our neighbor replaced his garage, saved from the dumpster (reducing the weight of his dumpster bill) made the price of my 8x16 coop less than $500. Looking forward to all the great ideas from others.
Glad you joined.
