Starting a thread for my chicken coops out at my uncle's farm. We have 2 coops out there, a small woods style coop (8x16') we refer to as "the big coop," and a small (3x5'?) elevated coop in need of repair (gotta give her a break, she's 15 years old and never had any repair work).Right now we're replacing the fencing, so the chickens are confined to the coop.
The surviving chicks from our toMAYto toMAHto hatchalong have been out there since March. This weekend we moved the 32 buckeye chicks and the older two malines out to the farm. And today we took down the barrier. It wasn't doing any good anyway, both easter egger pullets can get over it by jumping up onto the elevated roost, and for some reason the malines both decided to jump the fence and spend the night with the pullets
We did set up a clutter course to break up line of sight with some sawhorses and scrap plywood.
