Best way to do that is to use pallets and chicken wire
I have never before raised chickens, and I have never built anything in my life, but I needed a chicken coop and I didn’t have the funds for a store bought one. A quick Google search brought me to Building a Chicken Coop by Bill Keene.
Bill promised to simplify the process of building a chicken coop from scratch and provide all the information I would need to successfully keep my own chickens.
Most importantly Mr. Keene provides a 60 day money back guarantee, which made the purchase risk free. Either it was everything he promised or I got my money back.
He also includes lots of bonus material, I was really excited about bonus number four, a pdf file titled: The Cheapest Materials to Build Your Coop Out Of.
It all sounded ideal for my needs, and I ordered right away.
It was just what I needed, and it sounds like you do too!
Here's a link to his site. Good luck! It's not too hard once you know what to do :)
