Do you have pics you could post? I'd like to get an idea, just in case we decide to get some. I'd like to add a quail pen to the list...after the new pig pen, the new turkey house, the expanded breeding pens for the chickens....

I can try to get a good pic tomorrow sometime (that is if the rain stops long enough)..... but i will see what i can do within the next few days.....

That'd be great...if it's not too much trouble.

 

[luvmychix]

No trouble at all...... just may take some time lol

Understand totally. I've been trying to take updated pics of my new pigs for two weeks now. Never enough hours in the day...

lol yes FEET....... no they don't "need" that much space....... we just made the area bigger not too long ago... they were in a 10X20 and still had lots of room!
