We got the green plastic poultry fence at Menards. It was $20 for 25 feet and we got two rolls.

We are using our old rabbit hutch for housing. I don't know what we'll do in the winter, yet. But I really like how the bottom is hardware cloth, so it has nice drainage. We took out a section of chicken wire on the hutch and put on a ramp that comes up at night for a door.


The very-easy-to-make gate. When we close it, it simply hooks together with the fence and stays shut.

Enjoying cherry tomatoes.
Yes, they can fly out, but they will be free ranging soon anyways, and when they fly out they always come back, so no big deal.
Question- when I shut them up in the hutch at night, do they need water? I put them in about 8:30 at night and let them out about 8:30 in the morning. I have been giving them water, but do they really need it, cause it make the hay all wet?
