I use one the suet cages to put things in. grapes, apples, cabbage , greens.... I just have never set it up in one of the quarantine pens. Since my chickens are always in runs I try and replicate as many natural behavior opportunities as I can in the run. They do work for some of their food...
I am getting ready to set up a quarantine space today myself and was wondering what i could do to make it nicer. love the box of dirt idea. Mine is in an indoor space and I hate having them locked up.

Thanks for the pics.. I have been considering some panels like this for my run to provide some shade at times of the day. Hadnt thought about using this material for rain as well...
I see most of you have multiple breed of chickens and seems like you have a lot more than I do but need some advice on setting up breeding pens for my flock. I used to have a big barn for my Silkies and was able to set up as many pens as I wanted and have separate pens for however many I...
