VelvettFrog, all I can say is OMG!!! That is awesome!! I take it your birds fee range? Or do you keep them in the coop full time? I thought I saw pics of them coming and going, but the drool on my screen may have obscured my vision a bit...

What do you use the rows of cages for? Breeding pairs, show birds, ??

Here is ours, just added the new run, it only needs to be covered with chicken wire and hardware cloth.

There are a lot of us who use chain link fencing for our run (good point earlier about the ease of moving it if that is something you need) and wood/hardware cloth runs such as 2DogsCoops above. Is there anyone who has both and would be willing to lay out the pros and cons of each?

On a side note: y'all are giving me barn envy. {sigh}

Love all your coops/barns/breeding houses!

I hope to be posting some of my own before too long! I'm going to buy a 12' x 40-45' sea container. That will be my "coop" then I will have 10 runs on one side, each one will have a small/large/medium coop on the inside. Depends how many and how big the chickens are. Then on the other side I hope to have a large pen for my juveniles. On the inside there will be of course the coops, that will take up most of the room, then I will also have my 4 incubators in there, a broody pen, several custom build brooders, then lots of storage for my supplies: bedding, feeding supplies, etc. I will also probably have all my egg wrapping supplies in there as well, bubble wrap, newspaper, packing boxes, you get the idea.

Anway, it's going to cost way over the $5,000 I'm borrowing...

I've gone so long without a good, safe, clean, poultry facility(s) that isn't not even funny!!

After that I need to get several peafowl run/pens built.

Sorry about all the jabbering!

don't judge the coop i am currently building a 2.5'x5' coop that is off the ground by 3ft, it is 70%finished. i made my run 6x18ft and 6ft tall. i used 2x4 welded wire on bottom and chicken wire the rest of the way up. i built it in panels for ease of movement. the panels include 2 12ft, 4 6ft, so i could make a 12ftx12ft or a 6x18. the top is just 7ft wildlife netting from lowes.

I have put a pen around the entire complex now

I need to take new photos. The row-cages was a custom build for a friend. She put quail in them.

This is my coop, but I wish it was bigger though!!

I don't have the space some of you have, but here is my walk in run. I have two coops which I can access from the back. I've also left space that I could add two more coops if I ever wanted. My girls are in here when they need security but they have a yard five times the size to roam in most of the time.
