Good morning WV.

Sounds like a plan Scott. I had big plans for the weekend. Unfortunately my real job got in the way.

Yes, I have hopes that the horse pens will firm up and dry out.

Day jobs can do that, but what can upset the plans of a Design Engineer?

I had plans, on adding a new coop/run get the chicken yard.

I need to build a couple of coops myself, what do you have in mind?

I copied Blooie's hoop coop idea.......I added a little twist tho. I sank wood post in the ground, and then cut them off at about 24", put a 2x6 along the ground, and then ran one at the top of the post, and capped the top with one put up corrugated metal on the runner boards. Then put the cattle panels over the top.

That's right, you did a set of pic's a bit ago of that build!
Thanks for reminding me!

I do like that idea.

yeah, I took those same panels and moved them to the mini walls........I'll also be able to add more coop/runs, and allow them to share the outside mini wall with the coop/run adjacent.

I need to come up with a good design for the nesting boxes, so they are outside the end of the coop/run.......so when we check eggs, we don't have to go in the pen. Only when we feed and water, and I'm working on that too......
