Treehouse Chicken Coop

[OrkinYards]

Here are some pictures of my setup! I had a very ugly/mostly dead tree that was going to be way too expensive to remove completely, so I decided to dress it up a little. All of the deadwood directly above the coop has been removed to ensure they don't get squashed.

Happy to answer any questions, it's been a really great setup for us. It is built almost 100% out of pallets and scrap wood I had around the house. Automatic door with an antenna, large feeder, and waterer. I wanted as low a maintenance setup as I could come up with.

They have a decent sized run behind the shed we have. I own a hydroponic farm, so I bring up scrap lettuce from that and we dump all of our grass clippings behind there to build up a great mulch layer for them to bath/dig/hunt in.

Very neat idea!
I like it!

I love that you recycled pallets, I bet your girls are happy in it.

Cool, I like the fact that the coop is completely recycled, right down to what it's sitting on!

I assume you checked to make sure the stump was "healthy" enough so that your foundation won't be rotting out from under you coop anytime soon?
