So I am bored, quarantine and all, so I decided to build a coop/run with stuff I find in my yard. I live in the middle of the woods so I have a bunch of trees around. I didn’t want to spend too much time so I just cut down pepper trees. I’m not making it very big, I’m making it about 4 or 5 feet in length, and 6 or 7 foot in width. I’m guessing it’s almost 5 feet tall, maybe less. I
might just attach it to the dog pen as a run.

So this house used to live to some people who loved to throw their junk in the woods. I found a bunch of hardware netting (pretty sure that’s what it is). So I took it out.

Next I started cutting the trees and got quite a few, but still not enough. I just worked with
it.

Now I start with both frames.

And then I attached them and kept the wood in the middle on the inside of the run/coop to add a Perch later on. I’m still not done yet but it started to rain.

What are you using for solid walls? Just multiple stacked branches?
I might just make it a run, I’m gonna wait till I’m done with the frame and then I’m gonna decide whether I should make it a coop with the branches stacked or a run. I just got like 80 quail eggs so I might use it for quail. I’m not sure yet tbh.
