Looking for a coop or run to house golden pheasants

[Takeylla]

I put wire fencing up and the netting over it. My mistake was not putting a skirt around the bottom to keep the predators out and a bobcat dug under the fence and killed several birds. Since I have buried some wire in the most vulnerable places a foot deep along the bottom of the fencing and hog ringed it to the bottom of the fence but now I also have electric wire around all of my coops and pens.

Ok thanks

Here's a few pics of my enclosures, hope they help to give you ideas for your pen(s).

Enclosure on left 20' x 24', 4 separate pens. Enclosure on right 30' x 40', 8 seperate pens.

Pen on right, looking from south end to north end.

Covered area is 12' x 5' for each pen.
Poultry netting, buried apron with concrete over the top, extended 2' out from pen, completely surrounding the total enclosure. Corrugated metal roof.

Looks good. It appears like you are good. I didn't realize you had any type of enclosure for the birds and thought from your original post that you were looking for something. Are you going to expand it to make a flight pen? Do you have Ringneck's and Golden's? Hubby would like to have Pheasants again but we are up in years and I'm really not up to it anymore because the care would be my responsibility and I have enough with all of the chickens we have. Hubby is 80 and I'm in my 70's. These are my current pens.

Thank you, I appreciate it

The netting will arrive by the 28th this month, so that’s good

Ok, my netting arrived yesterday, and I think we have extra hardware cloth around, (if that’s what the metal with the tiny squares is called, but it’s good for building pens anyhow)

Yes, the smaller mesh welded wire is called hardware cloth. Please post some pictures.

The electric wire around the coops and pens keep the predators out. This is the coop I used when I had the Pheasants but they rarely went in it. Now I use it as a chick/grow-out coop. The predators know the electric wire is there. The pen wraps around the coop and is also on the other side. There is a pop door on both sides of the coop.
