A Summer Chicken Coop

Purchased this make shift bar from the thrift store. Stood it on a pallett


The shelves came out pretty easily

Had an old door in the barn. Used it to cut a bottom for the coop

Mounted a bucked on the back wall for a nesting box (wound up removing that later as it was not working out. I included it because you can see it in the photos)
