Does Anyone Know Where To Get a Giant Barn?

[roostersandhens]

I own a chicken rescue, and I have a little barn, but it can only hold about 30 - 35 chickens. I would like to find a large barn that can hold 100 - 200+ chickens. I was at a animal rescue in Grass Valley last weekend and they had large barns, so I emailed asking where they got them. But if anyone knows of a place please let me know! Thanks!

Have you considered a hoop structure like joel salitin uses? They are cheaper than a steel building. Here is one that they use, he has a ton of stuff on line.http://polyfacehenhouse.com/2012/07/hoop-house-5/

Hi roostersandhens, check out the search at the top for hoop houses. Cheap and sturdy. Add as many as 5 cattle panels and get a 8' x 20'. Build a couple for more chickens.

Hello wny,

Wish I lived close to some. I live in Louisiana and nice homemade Amish style buildings are EXPENSIVE !!

Out here in Iowa if you so have the inclination alot of people will pay you to take theirs down after building a house and the insurance guy sees it. Once a ramshackle barn is too near residential it makes insurance hard to get. New suburbs or craigslist would be where I would try. They are not easy to take down though and some wood is always bad so you need a couple to build one. Plus you would need to come up with plans as you will be cutting things down due to rot etc most likely.

thank you for the welcome...amish made stuff is very cheap around here ..sheds you cant touch for any cheaper or better quality ..

a giant barn is tough ..how about one of those giant size pole barn with the metal sides and roof ..if you knows someone who can frame it up , you could side and roof it yourself ..

I like the hoop structure idea.

Easier to build several smaller building than one large one, and it gives you more options for splitting up birds that don't get along.

If you're a rescue, you may even be able to get some help with materials and/or labor from local chicken-loving individuals!
