I usually find the 10ft x 10ft x 6ft tall for $100($25 per section)--If it has a little repair needed I pay less and I repair it back to Factory look---no junk looking repair---even if a pipe is rusted/bent/etc I replace it. Did I mention how EASY they are to install--LOL(for the ones that do...
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.
I do not know----I do not use that stuff. ALL my chicken wire cost about the same thing----"used" about $25 for a 6ft x 10ft section ready to install in about 1 minute per section. With 100% return should I decide to get out and resale in a few years.

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
I start mixing 50/50 with the starter and grower when they are about 8 weeks, then more grower and less started the next mix and have them on grower by 10 weeks. The food I use is grower/finisher and they stay on that till at point of lay(for the pullet) then I mix some with the layer for a...
