I already have 3 coops, but need another 1 or 2 soon...also need a duck house before winter gets here! lol You have been inspirational!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07572122753133932669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-42882443675143323512011-03-02T10:05:23.787-05:002011-03-02T10:05:23.787-05:00I am looking up ideas for pallet sheds, and came a...I am looking up ideas for pallet sheds, and came across your blog! your chicken coop is excellent! Had I known about this pallet idea then, I may have tried this myself with our own chicken coop! We did make our own, and used many free/recycled materials, but you wouldn't know it by looking at it. We did buy windows, plywood, shingles, insulation... we have an 8 foot by 12 foot coop. I'm wanting to help my son build a "fort" back in the woods, and want to use pallets to build it.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15564767560216676621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-51959474309967042912009-07-23T17:30:11.356-04:002009-07-23T17:30:11.356-04:00Stephanie-- Thanks!

We would like to paint it, make it look a little nicer, but it ain't happening any time soon!<br /><br />Ron-- I wanted some fresh air to circulate, and I wasn't too sure if it would smell in there or not, and the windows add light, since it has no electricity. I'm pretty pleased with it. Thanks again for the inspiration! :o)<br /><br />Karen-- I picked chicken breeds that were winter hardy. If it gets too cold, I'll bring out the extension cord and use the heat lamp during the night.<br /><br />Dj-- They seem to like it! Now I just need to get some hay for the nesting boxes. Shouldn't be too much longer before they start laying eggs soon! :o)<br /><br />Carol-- I've always been the kind of person that does well with hand-y things:: sewing, cooking, wood-stuff... Not so good at other stuff, so it balances out, I suppose. Did you ever try the sorbet??<br /><br />Barefoot-- Thanks! :o)jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772053505930801670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-54765233822116743032009-07-23T10:22:46.207-04:002009-07-23T10:22:46.207-04:00Awesome job!Awesome job!barefoot gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18089017268890241495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-49388315741957846302009-07-23T06:30:34.191-04:002009-07-23T06:30:34.191-04:00Blimey!!

Very nice. :)<br /><br />Once you've built something with them, those pallets become mighty useful. Not the easiest material to work with, but you can't beat a $50 chicken coop with character. :)<br /><br />RonRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13630929746033282061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-7371037452037168982009-07-21T20:11:25.945-04:002009-07-21T20:11:25.945-04:00Great job, Jenny!

I have to laugh when I read Judy Laquidara's blog about the chicken coop her husband has taken almost all summer to build and then read how quickly yours has gone together. Hers might be prettier (it's purple), but I really like how you've recycled materials and figured out different uses for so many items.<br /><br />I've heard about making compost bins from pallets, but a whole building is a great accomplishment!Stephanie Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01613883248899266708noreply@blogger.com
