My five chicks are about 7 weeks old now and I recently just built them a coop and run. I wanted to post pictures for any advice and to see if my nesting boxes were adequate. I still need to put in vents, paint and do some other work but this is what I've done so far.
The run is 4'x6'
Coop is 45"x45"x45"
Each nesting box is about 11"x11x11"
My feeder and waterer are now hung up in the run, under the coop. I'll be upgrading these soon.
Looking for advice and recommendations. Oh, and the roost is only temporary. I plan on using a 2x3 but wanted to give them something for now. Also, the window has a piece of acrylic glass in it.
I through in some other pictures, to show off my dogs too. We got our chicks at TSC, but have no idea what breed they are.
This was done on a $300 budget.
