Excelent job.   Couldn't help but to laugh at first pic when i noticed the goat in background.  Looks like what the heck have you done now?  Keep up the good work recycling and enjoy your birds.

Only when the last tree is cut, the last river damed, the last field paved, will we then realize that we can't eat money.

Here is a picture of it without the doors installed.
These are recycled wire spools (FREE!)  from the electric company. We used 5 foot biddy wire, but I think it would work out better if you can find the 6 foot wire. That way, the middle section will be larger.  If interested, I will post pictures of the final product.

We've made two of these so far and still have wire left over. I plan to put pigeons and small bantams in the pens.

Spools = Free
Scrap wood = Free
5' Roll of wire = $45.00


Fantastic creative thinking! thumbsup

Poultry Crazy Kid, see the bold face above- and contact the local power company! You might get some of those spools!

Don't get all your exercise leaping to conclusions!

Poultry- they may be your pets, they may be your hobby, they may be your livestock. But remember, if you fall down in the pen, unconscious? They WILL eat you.

I like this idea. Would this be big enough for say a trio of OEGB or maybe silkies?

Some people are like Slinkies ... Not really good for anything,
But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
