i am not all that happy with the laying of my britts
i think they need more light
i'm going to get some 1/4" sheets of plexiglass from a side job i am doing
these things look to be 4'x8' (the price is rite....free)

i may remove a 4'x8' piece of siding on the back side of their building
& put the plexiglass to er'
my buff american orps are outside all day unless it is raining really hard
they lay well for me.
the britts are in their own building & i worry about letting them outside
i would hate for some stray dog to come by & then i am out $500 worth of semi rare birds
maybe i could go with covered outside area for them

Quote: I would think that a few feet of chain-link (like 6' or so) would be a good starting point for the side fence. Old tin would work for the cover, some what dry and good shade da-boot!!

Scott ( who has thought about those birds)
