Built my own Chicken Crate

[SouthofEden]

So now that I know I have two roosters (only one pullet) I have to try to take them back to the farm. I had no way to transport because when I got them they were tiny. I looked online for chicken crates and they were way too big and way too expensive. I could have gotten a small dog crate though. But I decided to see if I could create my own that would be easy to carry 2 roos and with mostly what I had laying around. I did end up buying hardware cloth for about $6 but the rest was scrap wood. This is how it turned out. I'll be on my way to the farm tomorrow or Friday morning with my boys, hopefully will trade for a girl or two.

Hello and welcome to BYC. Great job on the crate. I'm a tad lazier than that - I use cardboard boxes

You did an excellent job on that crate!

You might want to consider making a few more to sell!
It would make an awesome broody buster!

Good grief you made one that would sell for more than 100 new business venture for you

Good job on the crate! Have you built a coop too? Looks like you have the carpentry skills to make a nice one.

Good luck trading the roosters for a girl or two!
