Inside look general population area on the right i have 10x12 breeding pens and in the back left i have two more same size

A look at the breeding pens i kept the isle way wide enough for out rtv to fit and we can clean the pens out directly into the bed of the rtv

This one is from the back facing the front

And ill end it on a picture of the roof open design so light comes in has hardware cloth attached to the verticle 2x4's all the way around and clear roofing panels on the top that match the grooving of the galvanized roofing to keep it dry inside. I also recently put electric in each pen has its own breaker in the box so i can supply water heaters and heat lamps as needed next on my to-do list is the runs for the breeding pens i hope you guys enjoy!

Thanks for the pics. Looks great, and I was able to see that the battens placed at varying widths does not look bad at all!

I used the poplar leftovers and cut them to 2" on a table saw some 2 1/2" took FOREVER but well worth it

I have about 150+ and i have the feeders hanging high some days because the chickens will throw so much feed on the ground to get to the better stuff i mix it with so ill hang them to get the food on the ground ate up.

Question! I have my 12 day old chicks in there cage right now an they r fighting over who gets to roost on the role of duck tape that's in there( Post pic when they hop bak on it) should I give them more places to roost so they can all roost!? An they seem to only be roosting in the day.... Does that mean anything ? Thansk
