Yesterday I was given a cockerel to add to my current 3 hens.. All was going well until this morning when they decided that they didnt like him yet and started ganging up on him, not letting him eat or drink. I wasnt having that so I decided to split them up but keep them in the same coop ..
As ive posted in another thread my coop is made from free recycled stuff that i have either been given or found, and thats how i want it all to be. So off i went on my mission to find what i needed to do the job ..
After not much searching i found something i thought was good enough, This is what i came up with...
The built "tv stand rooster house"
He couldnt help himself.. It wasnt even finished and he was in it
And finally ... All tucked up in bed like he has been there for days
This cost me absolutely nothing to make .. The new bits of wood and ply were just odd bits in my shed ... It took a few hours to build but he is much happier now and the girls cant get him because i have split the run in half too
I am only using this as a temp arrangement untill i think he is big enough to show them he is boss...
I must admit though it isnt fully finished .. I need to seal it and put a full time door on it still, (tommorows job
) .. hopefully one day this will house his chicks ..
Any feedback is appreciated .. but i think its great, and it does what i wanted it to do,
