I got some new birds. Everyone is fine and dandy but all the bantams are fighting. All the large fowl look at them like they are stupid then look at me with a look of WTH. Time to separate these birds. I need to anyways for breeding. I ask in a thread months ago about future housing issues. Ive been thinking and have decided to do A frames. I started them today. I am what one would consider poor and I love to re use material. I went to lowes to get the 2x4s and found a sheet of ply wood for the sides.
My brother helped me and we got the frame built. We got to thinking after we got it built that the piece of plywood would be way to heavy. Off to "the barn" this barn could fall down at any point so its a risk to go in it. My dad is a pack rat and saves everything. He told me a few months ago anything in the barn was free game for me to use.
after a quick dig I found some old bead board. The last picture is where we ended the day. One side sided with chicken wire at the bottom. The other door will have an access to feed/water and collect eggs. This current tractor will house 6 birds. 3 bantams in either side.
