Next two pens are 12 wide. One pen has the slanted side so the south side is 10 while the other pen is 12 x12. Each pen has two small coops.

All the little coops still need repairs and paint. They were made using shipping crates a few years back.

Bubby doesn't get a bottle anymore, but licks his lips anytime I talk to him. Mom is getting better. In a small space with feed, she will let him nurse. And she licks him and plays with him now....slow progress.

Looking good!

Will these be breeding coops?
Are you covering them?

Also, $70 for these.... ummmm... WHAT!?!? I can take some jeans home and splash paint on them and cut holes in them myself for free.

What's a vernal pool?

You don’t have those in Texas? It’s like a temporary pool/pond that forms in spring after a bunch of rain. Can last anywhere from like a day or two, a few days, a few weeks, etc. the frogs and such use them for breeding and lots of other animals for breeding or drinking or whatever.

We do too. Maybe Texas is too dry or flat for vernal pools. Says it’s mostly an east coast thing in depressions in the ground
