The plastic \"hooks\" with nails are phone cable clips/fasteners (see photo) and I used them as hinges on the wire doors so they open and close.
The staples are really for electrical wire. I prefer them over fence post staples for fastening wire to coops and pens.
I also used some short drywall screws w/fender washers to fasten the welded wire to the 1 by 6 pine boards because the staples were too long. The screws w/washers could have even been used instead of staples on the 2 by 4s.

I used a couple zip ties to fasten some 1 by 2 welded wire in the feeders, with the center opened to 2 by 2. This helps keep the feed in the feeders.
The second shot is looking up at the ceiling so you can see the LED rope lights.
