I spent the last 2 days building a grown out pen for the little ones to big for indoors, too small for the breeding pens. It is made using parts from a shipping crate, 2x2 studs, 1 inch plywood and wire mesh.

I added a feeding station, roosting bar, and tiny house to keep them warm in the winter

Doors on each side for easy cleaning an access to the birds
