Coop Finished Pics/New Babies!

[WisVizsla]

Baby Brahams are 2 weeks old now and their coop/run is ready and waiting!! We originally ordered 5 hens and 1 roo but the company sent us 6 of each!! The shipping order said males included for warmth!! What do you guys think of the coop?

Nice coop! Just for future reference, where did you order from?

 

[WisVizsla]

We ordered from Purely Poultry around Oshkosh WI. We ordered Light Brahmas and we think the hens are Buff instead. Time will tell if the coloring changes to white and black.

+1 on the PVC feeders also, I'm building my coop now. I might have to incorporate that idea. Thanks for sharing.

Nice coop


PVC feeder ? explain how please

PVC feeders are very easy; all you need is a 4 foot length 3” PVC (or whatever size suits your situation), an end cap, and two PVC elbows, I believe we used a 45 degree and a 22.5 degree to get the desired angle and then we shaved the top of the final elbow (sawzall) to allow for a larger access point. They are very easy to make, fairly inexpensive, and you can also use them for dispensing oyster shell, or grit. Later I’ll take a few pics of one disassembled so you can get a better idea.
