Aloha kakou,
I took 21 pictures and this is the best one I could get. This is an accidental cross between a male CL(barred) and a female BCM(nonbarred). It could be the other way around, but I cannot remember. This chick was born with a white spot on the head but nowadays Iʻm beginning to think itʻs a girl. So the white spot could have been coincidental. I hope itʻs a girl, so I donʻt have to get rid of it.
Anybody?
Aloha, Puhi
Off the front of the coop we have our feeding tubes.
For nesting boxes you can use the plastic Little Giant Nesting boxes (2-3 per pen should do it). They fit over screws that can be attached to the wooden dividers. We use the wooden dividers at the bottom of the pens to keep cocks from fighting through the wire. It has worked well. We have roosts on the same side as the nesting boxes (they are all on the left hand side of the coop, the roosts also can be attached to the dividers or free standing) so that when the cocks climb up on the roost or nesting box to see the cock next door he is 4 feet away from him out of sparing range.
This is what we did with our 25' x 10'. The coop already had the frame spaced at 4 feet a part so to make things easy we made our pens 4 feet wide when we had it converted into separate pens. It was designed to house 500 hen, free range flocks, for commercial egg but we had it divided up into five (5) 4'x10' pens, a storage room, and platform on the end to put 50 gallon water drums to attach automatic waterers to. One thing I like about this is that it has an Axel with car tiers that attach on the end by the storage room and water barrels and hitch on the other end that goes over the ball of my truck making this one big chicken tractor. We don't have enough land to rotate its location on a weekly basic like the free range commercial flocks do, but we do rotate every 6 months.

Awesome setup! I can't tell what is the thing sticking out next to each door? With the move we are making big plans for a coop. We are thinking of using a setup like this:
This would allow us to make an isle in the middle with 4 coops under the carport awning on each side (split by the pole dividers) with runs extending outwards, and have the shed area in the back for feed and supplies. We will still use our chicken tractors, etc, but these will be the secure pens for the $$$ chickens. We hope to have two to three CL pens, one to two Isbar pens plus we have ordered Jubilee Orpingtons, Croad Langshans, Exchequer Leghorns, and will have some Barnevelders, too all hopefully running next spring! Exciting stuff!
