Starting run first, then coop...

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 

I recently picked up enough materials from our scrap pile at work to buld a 10' x 14' coop and attached run pretty much however big we want to make it.

 

I got a whole bunch of 4'x4' panels of gridwall (store display rack type stuff) at a great price, so for now that is what the run will be made of.

LL

There are 2 roosters in this part, (one is in the box), for the time being. They will be separated when we get a couple hens for each of them.

 LL

There are 3 separate areas - the one with the plywood on top is 64 sq ft - to the left of that is a 96 sq ft area, in the back is a 144 sq ft area. We will be getting another rooster and hen tomorrow, and maybe 5 or 6 hens next week.

 

LL

Total area of all 3 pens = 304 sq ft...I think I did pretty good.

 

I Will post pics of the coop in progress. Hopefully we'll start on it next weekend.

 

What do you think? Opinions and advice welcome

 

Do you know God?

ACTS 20:28

Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

ACTS 2:38

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
