My setup of my black breeding pen

(1/1)

Jess:
Evening Folks,
Y\'all may get tired of me posting all these pictures, if you do just say so and I\'ll slow it down.
I have set up with 14 Black hens and 2 Splash roosters.
The run is 20\' X 12\'  and the house part is 10\' X 10\'.
This gives them 340 square feet of space. I think this is enough.
Any comments welcome\'
Thanks
Jess

Jess:
These hens haven\'t started laying yet, they are from 4 to 5 1/2 months old.
Thanks
Jess

OldChurchEggery:
How high is that panel fencing? Do you clip your birds\' feathers to get them to stay in?

Jess:
HI OldChurchEggery
Those are horse panels and are 5\' high by 20\' long.
They are seconds, so I got them at a good price.
I do clip the pullets wings, but after about a year old they are so heavy they cain\'t fly over them.
Thanks
Jess
