Those Who Breed

Does anyone have breeding pens they can share? I'd love to see some set ups for separating breeding birds from the rest of your flock.

I’ll get some pictures of mine sometime this week.

I have a coop, and then on the ends of the coop, I have separate areas.

I have big house divided on two, who host two main flocks when I do not breed. I keep 2 breeds and breed them every 3 years. I have 4 small houses with run, like the white one pictured. In those houses I separate one cock and 3 - 4 hens. I keep 4 families of each breed.

Most successful way I've done it that I liked the best was all my breeding males year round have their own chain-link dog kennel with a small shelter (medium to large dog crate works great), when it's breeding season I simply add one or two hens depending on what mating I want to do.

That is the idea we are leaning towards too.
