A BIG thanks to jmhappycowboy and Joe for this wonderful brooder pen. It will come in handy if Naomi successfully hatches the 5 little Serama bantam eggs Penny laid. The hatch should begin on the 17th this month! Of course it can also be used to totally house a couple of bantams or be used as a hospital pen, isolation pen, etc. It is obviously the prettiest chicken structure in the yard thus far. James is also building us a new 8'x8' coop and a run the same size as the one we have so we can separate our big chickens from our bantams. Oh, I almost forgot! He is also leveling the existing coop, covering the run, re-wiring the run with more secure hardware cloth, modifying the existing coop roosts, adding dropping boards under the roosts, and adding a concrete water barrier around the high side of the run to help keep it nice and dry!
The coop part of the brooder has a removable floor and roost for easy cleanup. There are plenty of doors for access, security, and cleanup. It is the perfect height for me, too! (James thinks of EVERYTHING!!!!!) Larry and I are planning to move it to a shadier location since it is SO hot here in central Mississippi already.
