If it's good for anything, it might be studs. But the holding strength of such a soft wood is questionable when you consider screwing drywall on the inside and nailing siding on the outside. Personally I wouldn't use it to build a chicken coop. Some doofuses around here take advantage of the fact that our county does not make building inspections, and they use it for the whole house...joists, plates, studs, etc. But they are the flakey ones that people find out about after they have screwed up 3 or 4 houses.
