Setting Up an Integration Facility

Not sure how much vertical space you’re working with. I actually did something right when I overbuilt my chicken coop. But to accommodate new grown chickens and new young chicks, I used 2x4s and chicken wire. I’d take a 10 foot section of chicken wire and staple the ends to 2x4s. Imagine a 2x4 and chicken wire scroll. I made a few sections of it so I can secure one end to something then roll it out to length. I kept 4in screws screwed into the 2x4s and just zipped them in or out to mount them. I used extra long screws so I could still anchor even with a few layers of chicken wire wrapped around the board. Standing one or two sections up on edge makes a quick isolation area that’s easy to get in and out of. Works well with the wire mesh stuff too but it’s a little harder to manipulate.
I have the same type of temporary wire wall.
I made a wooden panel with 'tiny doors' that goes at the bottom.

An excessive amount. :D

I haven't actually measured the finished height of the roof yet, but it was built high on purpose due to the hot climate.

I've been thinking that I'd put in partition screen walls, but I like that idea of being able to roll it up out of the way when I don't actually need it.

Your setup is one of the inspirations for my plans for the built-in brooder I'm going to install.
