We have a kennel that is about 10x 8 that we use for our guineas. I put a tarp on it, and dog crate in it and hung wood through the holes for about 7 roost at different heights. There are 10 guineas there now. I even put chicken wire on top and covered it with a tarp. Tommy says he'll build me a small coop (about the size of two brooder boxes) and put on stilts for them, but he hasn't done it yet..
Have you ever seen a dog run converted into a chicken pen.
It sorta makes a chicken tractor.
Works depending on how many chickens you put in there.
Me I take a 7x14 dog run and stretch it to 23 feet.
Add more uprights, 2 cross braces in the top and 1 cross brace on the bottom.
Then cover 13 feet of the top with deer netting and then cover the rest with a tarpaulin,
(at least for now, metal later when funds become available).
Feed pans hang from a center support under the tarpaulin.
For summer I just installed 2x4's for roost but since winter is coming I am
starting to change them over and add a mini coop on one end.
Laying nest are the cheap blue totes from Big Lots with an 8 inch hole cut into the side and tied to the side of the pen.
Good part is you can move them like a tractor but have to warn you the can get HEAVY.
