I have 4- 6 week old black australorp pullets that we wanted in their own separate girls hangout. I scrounged around the property for whole and partial pieces of wood, tin and scraps. We had most of a roll of hardware cloth left and we have a lot of night predators so we're using that instead of chicken wire. We've had some very wet weather making progress difficult but it's finally getting there. My paper design didn't quite work out the way i planned and i had to make some adjustments. So far the only thing I purchased was the 2 hinges for the nesting door. I have a hanging feeder I bought at an auction and still have to make them a water bucket using my last 2 cups. We made one for our other chickens and they love it. I have other pictures of step by step progress with measurements I'll post when I'm all done. More work to do, but here she is so far.
