REcyCOOP REvisited

Pappy and the boys just finished our new (and improved) RecyCOOP.  We decided to take the old one down in order to expand our garden in that area.  The area looks much nicer and the coop is a much nicer coop too.  The only things new on this coop are the screws! LOL
Sorry, no pictures of the construction of the coop... our camera was out of batteries.

Pappy and the boys salvaging wood from a barn close to our neck of the woods that was torn down.   This wood serves as the outer walls, while pallets serve as the frame of the building.

Nice large fenced area for the chickens to range.

This smaller area is fully fenced to protect our girls from hawks, a sly fox or other animals who might think them a tasty treat.

Sissy, showing everyone how the dutch doors work.

The girls' boxes are built from some old book cases we no longer needed...they were just the right size!

Ahhhh the things you can reuse--those are some very creative nesting boxes! BTW, the pictures you shared have inspired me to get more creative in our backyard.
