Are you kidding me? Those are awesome!! Do you have "plans" drawn up for them?? I would love to make some!

Believe it or not my DH is a master electrician and not a carpenter by trade. He does all of his work free hand and is rather good at it.

This particular unit is 10' long and has 4 seperate pens.

Here is just some of his other handy work:
Our first side

Second side in progress, now have 8 pens

Hutches in three different sizes

And I don't have pictures yet of the awesome three compartment brooder he made out of one of our single hutches.

PS- thank you for the compliment.

I hope it is DSL or cable, because if it is satellite, well let's just say HIGH SPEED is a relative term!

I have been suffering with hughesnet satellite service for almost 2 years. Overpriced, slow

Added bonus..... $55.00 a month cheaper then Hughesnet.

Our barns could be twins!!

We started with 4- 3x10's, then added 2- 4x10's then moved to the other side that we just got finished and made 8 that are 2-1/2x10 for bantams. The smaller side works great for juvi grow out pens too. We also took one of the original 3x10's and divided it in half and made 2 - 3x5's for smaller bantams and singles/pairs. I'm all about maximizing my space, yet making sure everyone is still happy and comfortable.

I've got dial up and it absolutely drives me insane. The satalite internet is way to expensive for my blood so the only other option is an air card. Clear Talk has a plan with an air card that $60 gets a reburbished card and 2 months free service or $90 for a new card and 3 months free service. It's $29.99 a month of unlimited internet. Thats what i'm getting for Christmas. With all time I spend online it would cut that time in half or more. I can't do much of anything online that involves loading anything . Most things I can't do because of it. Peoples swap pages take forever to load if they do at all. So I don't do much swapping.
