Ah how sweet, I'm really enjoying them. Unfortunately I'm just not at the ranch enough. I'm in the middle of writing an agreement with the ranch and have put together a revamp of the coops. I'm not sure they will go with the bright colors but I'm going to do a more brick red farm house type coloration as well. Trying to learn google sketchup...it's arduous for sure.
The best part, because they are turning the whole ranch into a permaculture system they have a ton of used wood, chicken wire etc. I couldn't afford to redo my pens if I couldn't use their materials.

That looks like a good setup, especially if those doors open to the outside instead of to each pen. I have some that I made early on where I have to go through each pen to get to the last pen and it is a pain. It is always interesting to me to see how other people set up their bird "cities". I have also found here that my cages have to run north to south as the rain or hot sun usually comes from the west. I have the backs facing west. The coops inside off the ground look exactly like the cages a lot of people use for bantam ducks.

Looks a lot like my breeder and bantam pens. Each pen has a door to the outside, but I also have internal "people" doors on the bantam pens and internal "chicken" doors on the breeder pens, so that I can turn 2 breeder pens into one larger breeder pen if I want to.
