I can't waite to get me first EGG... All the kids have a egg pool going.. The pot has reached $35.00... I have people calling me every day!!!Still no eggs and the pot is climing!!! I am gald to see that everyone is as as me...
I had also started with a tarp.. We had so much rain last mounth that I lived out back dumping all the rain water off. The plastic roof is great. My pen is 7 1/2 feet wide. I first laied out the spacing were I was to but 2x4 I than drilled a hole in the pipes. I screwed up through the pipes...
I have also used a dog run for my four girls.. We put a roof on with coregated plastic. It works great and keeps every one dry, and also shades them to. There coop is in side the dog pen to keep them extra safe...I think this was a great pen for my small flock... I Love My Pet Chickens:
