    Used dog kennels are like free fencing compared to getting wire and post and days building a chicken pen. I bought 2 10x10 kennels in 1995 I am still using----people are posting wanted adds----willing to pay $100 or a little more for used dog kennels. After using these 2 kennels for 22 years now...

    Thanks, I scrounged for a while---buying over 250 panels---some kennels were just 4 panels, some 6, etc. some I had to do some repair, some like new. I love them. Quick set-up, quick to move if I wanted. Free pens for my chickens I feel----being I know I can resell them for what I payed or more.

    Over populated? You ever tried to fish in your pond that you spent a lot of money building and stocking to only catch mainly turtles, they pop-up and grab your cork about the time it hits the water. They eat the small fish and tear up the fish beds, eat the eggs, etc. Sorry but I thin out...

    OK, interesting. So will you keep them or sell them after you finish your project? Can I ask----is your project anything to do with how these chickens can be fed less than most do and not get so big they can't hardly walk in 8 or 10 weeks, etc? I had a neighbor that raised some of these with no...

    So do you control their feed where they forage a lot? Most "people" already have them butchered at that age. Do you know their present weight? When do you plan to butcher? Thanks
