Hi, Jay! You could actually build something like this with the surplus construction materials found at some of the resale stores we have here in Oklahoma. Builders often take leftovers that might have been thrown away after building a home or office bldg to a consignment store. While these materials are, more often than not, brand new, they have been saved from the landfills.

Another option might be to offer to “clean up” construction sites in return for keeping any supplies that you’d like. We wouldn’t allow our builder to throw away scrap lumber and trim when we built…we’ve got tons of great FREE stuff from that process that would have found it’s way into the trash.

I echo the comments above. It is very attractive. One side of me would like to duplicate it for our chickens. However, my conscience would not allow it. When building our coop I tried to use as much scrap lumber and surplus material as possible. I have become very sensitive to the impact of the resources we use and try to reduce in as many ways as possible. It is a hard battle to change behavior and one that I continue to fight in my own life.

Very best wishes,

Oh great, Robin. I’ve wanted chickens for some time now, and hubby doesn’t. I’d just about given up on the idea and then I read this.

I WANT CHICKENS!!!!!!!

I am sooooo jealous! I’ve been dreaming of chickens all summer…I think I’ve almost got DH talked into building me a *small* coop in the spring. No doubt, my chickens will abandon ship if they saw your beautiful set up!
