New run

[janjan1]

Recently I had the old run pen torn down and another was added along with a roof. The coop is inside and hopefully my chicks will not be snatched from Hawks anymore. I had 6 clear panels put in the roof to allow for sunlight to come into the pen for more light.

Looks like they'll be safe. How many chicks do you have?

 

[janjan1]

I've gone from about 28 total down to 3 hens, 2 Roos and three Guineas. I got 6 new pullets yesterday, but they are still confined to a smaller pen until everyone gets use to each other and they grow some. They are only 10 weeks old.
The Hawks, foxes and coyotes have taken a lot of my chickens and dispite my old fencing, I did not have a roof over it. So I bit the bullet, took it all down and rebuilt it all......including a roof.

WOW that's nice and big!!

Is that a yellow shipping container to the right...part of the run/coop?

That's a big run. Looks good and good luck with the predictors

Yes that is a shipping container. No not part of the pen, just the side of the pen. I bought it a few years ago and use it to store hay in it. My insurance is cheaper if I do not store hay in my barn.
