Chick nursery. This is the right side where my older babies are growing. Next they will move to a pen where they will have more outdoor access. We are just starting to let them our for a few hours at a time so they can explore and catch bugs.
Bantam Pen. I divided one of our larger pens off for the bantam chickens. They roost on the long 2x4s at night and have shade and protection from rain under the cover I built.
Juvenile pen. This is the house portion.
Juvenile Pen. This is a coop I got for free from a friend of a friend. The top is enclosed with a fully covered run which gives them access to the dirt. We put chicken wire under the whole thing a couple inches down to protect from predators.

Chick Nursery. This is the top of the Chick Nursery. You can see that i enclosed the entire top with chicken wire for airflow before adding a slanted roof.
Chick Nursery. This is the second coop I built myself. The design is very airy on top to allow airflow during the hot California summers. Although I originally used this coop for newborn through fully mature egg layers with free range access daily, I currently use it as a nursery for youngsters. Inside, I have it divided with wire so that new babies are on the right and older babies on the left. There are two doors behind the coop as well.
