Building Chick Enclosure.

[awyman]

So, I’ve decided I want more chickens. I only have one right now but I’ve grew up around chickens. I’m placing an order soon for some different breeds. I want to start working on an enclosure though. I want to build the ultimate chicken mansion with a huge run.

So if anyone can give me some items and things I should include in their enclosure to make them happy. Pictures of your coops would be amazing also!

I know I need roosts, laying boxes, etc.

Yes, I have 11 ducklings. They’re the best! Thinking about making a dual chicken and duck enclosure. With chickens on one side and ducks on the other.

That sounds great! Just keep the ducks and chicken separate for the night. If there's enough room, they can roam together and learn each others language.
