Thanks for the replies everyone. I never thought of using pallets as a fence. great idea! I think that is what I will have to do. Now to find some free pallets... The roos were quarantined for at least a week before I released them out with the hens. They are both brothers and both seemed to...

Finally! I'm not alone up here!! I can snap a picture of their coop tommorow if I have time before work. Then you will get what I mean by floor ventilation. LOL I had a regular heated water bucket for them (like you would find in the livestock section of fleet farm), and that froze even when...
