My Coops *pic heavy*

<< < (2/2)

DeWayne Edgin:
Here are a few pictures of my skid pen.

Don:
Nice coops, all of them!  I especially like the grain silo. I'd love to have one like that to turn into a camp shed.  Yes, insulating that one would be real fun.  And how clean and neat.  I agree with John that you all put a lot of extra effort and energy into your birds.

How long does it take for them to learn how to use the bridges?

Lee G:
Thanks everyone.  :)

And sorry for the delay in my response. Living deep in the country has its perks, but fast and reliable internet service is definitely not one of them!

Yes, the reno’s were a lot of work and took us an entire summer to complete, but well worth it in the end. The peace of mind alone is priceless, because it seems like everything under the sun around here likes chicken dinner...including us.  ::) hehe

DeWayne, your skid coop looks great. You sure did a nice job.

Don, most youngsters catch on pretty fast and are racing up and down the tunnel in no time flat. It usually just takes one brave soul to lead the way. lol The more cautious ones like to sit inside and take in their surroundings for awhile before joining the rest outdoors. So, I’d say most birds have the tunnel mastered within a day or two. And the ones who don’t or have troubles, well, let’s just say it’s a good way to figure out who’s playing with a full deck and who isn’t.  :P

I had no idea what that meant, but figured it out after reading "reno's" in you last post a few times. ;)

Don:
Lee, again the arrangement looks nice and it looks like the birds enjoy the generous and varied spaces, including the tunnel.  It should keep them busy and out of trouble.

DeWayne, the skid pen is very well built, heavy enough to last a long time and keep the birds safe..  It appears you can move it to new ground with out too much trouble.  I also like to use "found" materials.  Besides the cost savings, it gives me a good feeling to find a new use for an old object/materials.  Part of growing up with depression era family members I guess.  I'd say I like being "Green".
