Now I feel like going duck hunting! Are you serious? Thats insane.
 
I think you missed a "cant" or "dont" on that last sentence... 

I like the setup but I wouldnt want to use it for keeping anything longer than a week. Only birds ready to sell and/or quarantine for sick ones. 


I think he does want them on the ground. That is my usual preference as well so will place some soil into barrels. My intent will be to have hens make nest in barrels chicks can not get out of for a few days once hatched. Hens will be able to come an goes as they please. Once chicks 10 to 14 days old they will be released with their momma placed under a pen with a bucket on its side to serve as a night time nest. At that time chicks can run about where ever they like although they will usually not go more than 50 feet or so from their momma. It is very much a compromise relative to the ideal where the hens take chicks every where so chicks get almost all their eats by eating bugs and plants they find.
