Suggestions for small meat bird pen

[Flyboy718]

I am wanting to build a very small structure to house 3 cornish X meat birds...anybody got any ideas as to what I could use to build this? I want to do it cheaply as possible, maybe using pallets. Does anyone have any pictures of something similar?

PVC frame with plastic "chicken wire". You can lift it with one hand and move it around the yard easily.

Good idea! Anybody have pics?

here's a medium sized one, this one held 25 cx start to finish. I'll try to get you pic of a small one but posting pics on here is suddenly a pain.

Katythechickenlady, Thanks! I would deffinately like to know what dimensions are on the first one you posted. Also, do they need some sort of roosts or a loft in there or nothing at all?

Oh and in that first pic, is that a waterer or feeder? How does it work?

I'll get that for you in a bit. No, no roosts for CX they will get hurt jumping off of them. Just make sure they have a dry spot on the ground.
