I'd like to share the breeding pens I just finished. The pens are 6 feet tall 8 feet long and have a 1 foot external nest box on one end. There are hinged panels between the left and right sides, that way we can have 3 2'x8' pens or 6 2'x4' pens depending if we are using it for a breeding pen...
Here is a coop the will be on silent auction May 12 at Hidden Waters golf course in Waupaca, WI. My family and I just finished building it and are donating it to help a friend that is fighting cancer. The coop measures 3'x3' square, sits 16" off the ground, external nest box with hinged lid...
Thank you, they are called power vents and believe they are typically used for putting in the soffits for roofs when adding venting. I bought them at my local Fleet Farm, they come in a 4 pack for around $6 and are made out of aluminum.
Thank you. I initially designed this just for a fun family project that would be sold since we already have 5 coops, but after we got it done I really didn't want to let it go! I might build another one so I can take detailed step by step pictures if I put plans together.
I do have some crude drawings for the cut outs on the 2 sheets of plywood. If I get some extra time this winter I'd like to make some detailed plans and have a friend put my drawings in his CAD program.
