Ideas for breeding pens Please

[Luvducks]

I see so many wonderful coops on BYC but I would like to see some ideas for birds that are seperated for
breeding purposes. I have chicks that I want to keep seperated from the flock for breeding.

I have pens set up made of pallets and wire which are working but my husband says it looks like a catastrophe!
He is going to build a shed or we would have to build several coops. I am thinking seperate runs off the sides of
the shed.

Pictures please.

You should try using the search feature. Here are a couple results I found:

S n M Poultry Breeding pens(Even more Pics)
Who has the best breeding pen setup?

I hope this helps.

Thank you. Going to search now.

Just a fairly small tractor pen, the size of a rabbit, just build it from scratch or just recycle one. Make sure only the setting hen is inside it as more than the setting hen gets annoying for the setting hen.
Hope you have chicks in time

Here are some pictures of breeding pens that I saved off of a thread from a month or so ago. I wish I could remember who posted it so I could give them credit. I just saved the pictures to my pc so that I could copy them this coming spring. The coop part is acutally seperate and sits just inside the bottom board of the run.

This second picture shows the coop pulled back from the run.

Hope this helps. I thought they did a really nice job.

Thank you kittymomma. That is a great idea. I did the search as listed above but this one did not appear.
I had seen some good ideas but canot find them now because they are not necessarily posted under
"Breeder Pens" so that is why I started this thread.

I think my husband would even like these. He is VERY much a handyman but time is another issue.
I like these because you can add more and more and more as needed. LOL!

These were built by a BYC member and we cannot find the thread where it was posted. You could build it to any size you want or build more then one to
house different breeds of chickens.

Thanks for posting these pictures Kittymomma......Since no one seems to be able to find the thread of the original post would it be possible to get some basic dimensions.......length and width of the run, size of the coop. I can make a pretty good guess from the pictures but it would be real helpful to know for sure.....Also, how does the coop open ? Maybe some other pictures of it. These are perfect for my bantam and guinea breeding pens that I am about to start.
