My chicken tractors were built out of scrap wood and free chicken wire leftover from a local club's float that was going to be thrown away. Idk if you're in a public or private school or not, but maybe ask around at the schools in your area if they have any building materials left over from...
Agreed. Medicine costs a whole lot. I have a ton of meds for my birds, but it wasn't cheap and took me all of these 6 years to acquire it all. I wish I could offer them to you, but they're probably going to go with my girls when they get adopted.
You have my PM Gracie :) We can keep in touch. I can dig around and see what we have. If you want birds for breeding, I have Mille Fleur D'Uccles. I'll probably have extra day olds later in the summer.
But before all else, build the coop. We need to be sure whatever birds you get will be safe :)
