Essentially, I laid a tarp, put the construction plastic over it and put the dog pen in the middle. Then I folded the plastic and tarp up about 10" and clipped it with clothespins. I used clothespins to put the bird net over the top (the inexpensive plastic netting like you put over bushes). It was easy to undo an end to change food and water. I could also clean by dropping the net in the center so the birds were on one side while I changed the bedding and then repeating for the other side.
I wouldn't worry. Keep the lights on in the room so they can see.
I can tell people how to create coccidiosis.You should feel horrible! Cocci is very rare! Only bad owners have animals with cocci. Bad owner! BAD OWNER!!!!
Feel better now?
I just needed an inexpensive option. This was besides being easy to fold up to tear down and store. Everything folded up and stored in a small space. The tarp and plastic went out to be dumped the plastic went in the trash, and the tarp was hosed, dried, and stored.
I'm being forced to sleep cause this pip to zip is in slow-mo. I'm hoping this is taking so long because it's a hen.
