Breeding pen size & construction
Beth C:
I would love to have a copy as well - I really love your design and I\'m fairly sure anything I come up with on my own won\'t do it justice.
I haven\'t hatched anything, either. I got 3 eggs from my wheatens, none fertile. I do have a few test eggs in my incubator, mutt red thing X black cock bird - should be interesting. But wanted to test the bator and besides, anything that lays a fertile egg w/o lights on the winter solstice deserves to reproduce. ;)

I just ordered some solar powered Christmas lights for my coops. They aren\'t here yet, but they were only $20 per strand of 50 mini lights with the solar panel. Can\'t wait to put them in!! Electricity to the coops is a problem here in this old house, hopefully this will be a great solution!

I don\'t have a drawing, but here are some photos and a materials list.
(8) 8\' 2 by 4s
(4) 6\' 2 by 4s for the legs
(2) 8\' 1 by 6 boards (actually 3/4\" x 5 1/2\")
(4) sheets of 7/16\" OSB
A bunch of screws, some wire for the front and misc. stuff.

Is the front 1x2 fencing? What do you use around the openings...looks like white plastic? Also do you bulk order all your bunny feeders if so where? The only bunny feeders I have found local have sieves in the bottom.
