Well we have started the third coop and run. My better half said this is the last one. 
Just do to the lack of space.
We back story our first one we built was before wood prices went through the roof. This is the first one.
That was perfect for the 12 Brahmas we started with.
The next summer I was gifted 4 NN. Well there was no room for them in this coop. So number two came to be. At this time wood prices were climbing. So decided to try to use as much recycled material as possible. So two skids, some recycled fence, random found pieces of wood, gift vinyl flooring leftover from a neighbors project and some leftover metal roofing left over from a earlier build. I did buy the run.
So with the third we will make it out of as much recycled materials as possible. More skids and fencing. Here is what we have so far.
We update as we make progress.

hubby works at a furniture company. He operates the saw. He has been slowly collecting junk wood, they would trash otherwise. He has had all the wood for a month and over..I'm just waiting 
I have different ages, all separated that I can't integrate till I get a bigger coop..it takes me almost 40 minutes in the morning. And of course I have turkey babies that I intended to put in the old coop(which is movable) once he is done.. and dang it gets hot quick in the morning. I like all your coops.
