repurposed pallets (chicken coop)
 

I made this chicken coop from old pallets needed about 30 pallets because of timber spliting when taking them apart had box of decking screws in garage cost me €8.00 for 4 lenghts of chicken wire i got in €2 shop

all sounds like very hard work.... but pays off when u get a great result like this and u'll have lovely fresh eggs for your breakfast soon too hopefully. Weldone !!!

Fair play to you. Looking good.

It looks really good.
the title is a bit confusing - are you now trying to get rid of it, or inviting chickens to come and stay?

Hi mgbnut,

In order to avoid confusion for all concerned, giving and taking should not take place in the Before and After forum -- it should be restricted to the "Coop" ad you have in the Givers' "Garden" forum.

Thanks for using JumbleTown.

Well done it looks great :)

Did you mean you got chicken wire in the € shop? Interested, how big was it? BTW, great job!! Self sufficiency is the way to go. At least you'll have food if the government decides to reduce our incomes any more! (Tis why I got a tunnel too!)

No I got it in what was known as the €2 shop in blanchardstown shoping centre it was approx 1m x 1.5m

great job, just two things (as an experienced hen keeper) - the felt on the roof may become a haven for RED MITE - just something to watch for. And how many hens to you plan to keep - the space is very small if they are not allowed out to free range - would recommend that you move the structure on a regular basis if possible - to keep them on a bit of grass as opposed to bare earth. Good luck!
