my chicken compound

[Megs]

so i got back into chickens early this spring (after having them for 4H as a child), and this is my new set-up for my few bantam flocks!! will be outfitting the random coops with power for a heat light in the winter, and eventually auto waterers! yay! enjoy the pics.

"love" coop- houses silver sebrights on one half and grey japanese on the other (divided inside). still needs to be painted beige to match the coops/house/barn.

"dome" coop- currently chick grow out/ pigeon house

renoed dog house #1- houses black tailed white japanese.

renoed dog house #2- houses cochins (black & mottled) plus a random rooster and a silky. still needs to be painted beige to match the coops/house/barn.

"the ghetto" hutch coop- baby chick grow out

the entire chicken compound (we joke its high security, as its make of heavy duty knuckle wire to keep out our hoards of flying predators (eagles, hawks, crows, vultures etc) dont mind the metal on the top of the run, it provides shade to all the runs at different times of day.

pretty much all the materials were re-used from old projects, we had to buy one roll of wire (had a bunch) and a few fence posts!! the hutch coop and the dog houses were freebies i fixed up, and the coops were pretty much all re-used lumber.
