So here is today's post.
After school I was bound and determined to put a grow out pen up.
I wanted it removable so I drilled into some studs in the coop and screwed in some 3/8" all thread, drilled out a 2x4 and used wing nuts.
I put a couple of lag bolts in the lathe and turned the heads off and the shanks to fit an eye screw, bent the end over and made soem removable gate hinge thingies
The right side lifts up (still need to screw a couple of handles on it to make it more user friendly) and pulls towards to open and access the pen.
I put a heat lamp in for the chickies (Thanks for the outlet idea Itsredcandy!) And Viola! Instant grow out pen!
It was funny as heck to watch the bigger ones come in and try to figure out what happened to their extra floor space.
It's pretty windy out so I (actually my son Walt) put a piece of siding on the far end so there is some lee.
I was in there while the wind-was-a-blow'n and it was just a bit breezy in the area.
Silly Mikey keeps going outside and checking on the peepers anyway...
