I know that you said that you have a heat lamp, but I just want to see if the amount of ventilation is still ok. Thanks for sharing your design online. Also, how many chickens do you hold in yours? ~ Candis (Rhode Island).

How did you secure the floor to the pallets? How has it stood up to predators? I am on day 3 of a chicken apocalypse here--the predator keeps ripping ope the chicken wire and getting in. the boards protect them from the base--but it keeps climbing up at night and ripping it open in new places. I am getting very frustrated.Angie B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16671669545968492256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328489732730773158.post-48734691609807968072012-05-16T19:43:39.772-04:002012-05-16T19:43:39.772-04:00thank you I am loving them also , they grow so fas...thank you I am loving them also , they grow so fast .

I made a coop out of pallets, and I think the ONLY cost was nails, and hinges for the door. And litter. Just trying to learn and get ideas because I'd like to build more pallet coops. Although my design (totally on the fly) hasn't shown any problem areas that I'm aware of, I still look for different ideas of doing things, ways to improve, or even things to look out for!
