The footprint is 8x8 and they are about 6 feet tall in the center. I use two cattle panels attached to a treated 2x4 bottom frame. We don't have predator issues so I use chicken wire to cover the panels and the fronts and backs. The doors are built from treated 1x4s. I screw the door frame...

I mix in in a small quantity every other day...

Okay, I hate to do this, but...
Would anyone in the Gainesville-Ocala area be interested in a blue silkie roo? I got him as a wee one a few months ago to be a house pet and hoping for a pullet, but my husband is now getting fed up with his crowing, since he is most definitely not a pullet!
