Hi there - We have six teenager chicks that are about 8 weeks old that are ready to leave the brooder and head into their teenager coop! We have a large run for our adult flock (16ft x 24ft for five adult hens) so we have divided that in half for our meet-n-greet phase until our teenagers become full size. My husband got a scrap pass from work for an old water tote, so he refurbished it into our teenager coop with a 2x4 roost and complete with pull string “drawbridge” door (haha). We plan on using pine shavings for bedding and I’ll add in our mobile nesting box once they get a little older. This was an easy, economical way to make a transition coop so I wanted to share with everyone
