I'm laughing just reading this. Please do add the pictures. Seems like you can't have a decent coop these days without cinder blocks. Thank goodness for those multi purpose items.
 
GHETTO-LICOUS!!

I love 'em! Will have to see if I have any pics of my old set ups. You guys sure are resourceful.
Ps this thread makes me feel so much better about my girl's home-it ain't the prettiest thing,but then they don't seem to care!

Ok, this is my coop complex, made from a ecycled shed, a dog-house shed-like building, and a recycled, home built dog pen that I inherited with the house.

Please note the not-square aspect of this coop

Oooh, I'm gonna do that with my trampoline when my kids are done with it! I even have the frame for the safety netting and the netting. Oooooh, the possibilities!

Is it bad that I'm getting ideas from this? I have an "ark" type coop that my 2 big girls are currently using, but they are out free ranging in my backyard all day- no run (my patio is really looking crappy-pun intended).
I now have 2 babies that won't fit into the ark when it's time for them to go outside. I am planning a pallet coop already, but trying to come up with a way to confine them to a run- MY MOM HAS A TRAMPOLINE that is starting to rot, complete with netting. I've been trying to convince her to get rid of it because I don't want my daughter on it any more. Now I have a run!
THANKS!

Oh wow... I wish I had some pictures of some of the pens me and a friend made up there at my grandfather's... zip ties, hog rings, and old wire laying around attached to an ANCIENT beagle house. Yupp, best chicken house I've ever "built".

Yea I wish I had the frame for the safety netting! That looks like it would make a good (and tall) run!!​
