I'll be setting some mottled ancona eggs this week.... (got them on the swap thread...)
 

Thank you. I thought maybe, but wasn't sure. Eventually, I'll have to sell him but listing a red and green roo just doesn't sound right!

Thanks for the info, Nava. Another chicken to consider!

Here's how I made my brooder.

First I mounted a 1x3 across the bottom at the same place a pre-existing 1x6 on the side walls.    I placed a metal pipe in the gap between the wall boards just above the 1x3 and held it in place with pipe clamps.  The bottom of the fence was u-nailed to the 1x3, the sides to the 1x6 s and the top clamped temporarily to the pipe.  The top of the fence was 4 inches above the pipe.  I then placed another pipe half way between the fence I just mounted and the outside wall for extra support.  This is not clamped down.  I put another piece of fence on top cutting out squares to allow the 1x6 to fit in the notch and allow the fence to slip between the gap in the outside wall boards.  The fence was u-nailed to the boards they were resting on at the back and the sides the front was temporarily clamped to the pipe at the front.  I wired the roof and the front to the pipe with wire twist ties.  You could use zip ties but I didn't have any.   I attached the side frames for the door to the 1x3 and the pipe.  I cut out the hole for the door leaving the top and bottom of the fence intact.  Mounted the door  and bent the 4 inches of fence that was sticking up flush with roof.

You could adapt this to any coop by attaching the fence to 2x4 frame nailed to the existing wall.  Sometimes ya gotta use you imagination
