My husband tore down our outside pen and is rebuilding it. My coop itself is a 10x12 shed. On the right side of the coop we now have two outdoor pens. The one closest to the coop will have a roof over it. He's still building it, you can see it's open but it will be covered. Attached to the soon to be covered pen is an outdoor pen that will have bird netting. The Ador automatic chicken door closes off the uncovered outdoor pen from the enclosed pen. My husbands biggest complaint has always been about keeping up with watering the chickens. We live in the south and it gets really hot in the summer. He put together this water system that can be turned on from outside the pen. One fills the baby pool, one goes to the misters, one to the soaker hose and one fills the inside waterer.
