    A few weeks ago a chicken flew right into the cattle tank. I was there, rescued it and 2 min later another one did the same.

    My chickies coop and run

    6 weeks and bookoo bucks later, my babies have a run. Chicks are from a friends farm and were in a giant brooder till I got this done. 8x8 foot coop, 8x24 foot run, 4 nest box, white inside, brick oly stain outside, 1/2 hardware cloth. I still have to do aprons with 1/2" but it's usable and done...
