Cirque du Poulet :)

[Appaloosa Hill Farm]

This coop was built for my 5yo son's pet red sex link rooster, Blue, and his two girlfriends. DS got to pick the colors...can you tell? This run was put on temporarily--they will be getting a larger run soon. Check out the rooster. He's only 16 weeks old!!!!

I wonder how much bigger he'll get??

Never a dull (nor colorless) moment at our house.

What is the 2 liter bottle being used as? And how did you design it?

The 2 liter bottle is fitted with a water bottle kit. The rooster was raised with water bottles, as was the little Speckled Sussex pullet that's hiding in the coop. This way the water stays cleaner and doesn't take up any precious space in the run/coop. The design is completely made up. I looked at the pile of scrap wood left from building the main coop and came up with this. There is a perch and nest box inside. The space at the top is open for ventilation with hardware cloth covering the 'ceiling' inside the coop. The shingles I picked up at Lowe's for ridiculously cheap because the packaging was torn. I think I'll have to cut a couple spaces at the top for more ventilation soon. I just don't think the top bit is enough. You can never have too much ventilation!
