Does anyone use A frame coops for their chickens? I am planning on building a couple to use as grow out pens for the in-between chicks that are just a little too young to be put in with the main flock, temporary breeding pens, broody mamas, injured/sick chickens that need to be isolated, chickens in quarantine, etc. Does anyone use these? I think the A frames would be easier to build, and use less wood and wire as well.
One more question- what would be the ideal size for my purposes? I'm thinking maybe 4' long and 2 or 3' wide, and maybe 2' high?
Oh, if anyone doesn't know what these are, here is a link the The City Chicken page- http://home.centurytel.net/thecitychicken/tractors.html There are several A frames on that page.
