What you do hijack the area pallet thieves with 74 pallets in the bed of a 1968 ford pick up?

That's a good start.

If I have known you didn't get the 1st one you posted a long time ago.
I would have drove down and built it for/with you.

Make sure to only install two doors. Put four, and you got a chicken sedan.

When I built Mrs. No2Gates a chicken coop about 5 years ago, I used linoleum for the floor which made it VERY easy to clean out.

Craigslist for free pallets

Cut the top pallets in half. Should have done that on the ground but I am tired. At the height in the picture, I could not screen in the roof of chickenworld

I guess my question is why lifted? That seems like the perfect hiding place for snakes who will definitely be chasing for eggs.

Off the ground it will not rot as fast.
Will probably put pave stones down for its final resting place

She is visiting her dad. He’s 93. This trip was planned months ago.

Smoke break at the store was outside by the pallets. I could never understand the cops to pulling over them pallet thieves. ? IIRC Oak pallets were paying $25.00 each. The storers were costing the warehouse money in pallets, so they bought crappy injected molded pallets..

I'd beat those plastic one would produce some smoke in an urban warfare setting.

Is this a second coop?

 

[FireInTheWire]

A coop is on my to-do list. So is a $4300 Hobart welder. Also, a green house, oh and the 24x36 carport. Ah hell... pass me a beer. I'm gonna go lay in my hammock on the back porch.

My wife watches overstock auction sites an last hear got a 16ft X 16 plastic shed for pennies on the dollar.
I built a platform and built the shed on it.
We have laring boxes on a plastic table for 7 chickens. The 5 ducks jost drop eggs wherever.

Every night at sunset the chikens find thier way inside. The ducks wait for me to come out then form a line and march inside and get locked in safe from predators.

Oops, not 16x16. That was a different project. The chicken hous is 8X12
