    First off unfortunately we didnt get any pictures. We went to turn out the chickens from their coop like any other day and there was one of our almost 3 month old Pearl White Leghorn Rooster hanging upside down from the perch! Only thing we could figure is to many birds got on that one perch...

    New coop and Old coop

    Here are some pictures of our old coop and our new coop. Hope these help others with some ideas. The old one has 6'X10' dog chain link kennel panels around the outside for walls/sides of the coop and 2 on top to help hold it all together. We also drove t-post in the ground to help stabilize...
