Rural/Farm Life

It would accomodate up to twenty five birds without crowding if I could move it more easily, but it's heavy. They have some roosts and nests (which need cleaning arrrg) .

If I were to brood chicks in it, I would block off a place inside it, but it's pretty far from an electrical source right now.

The brooder is wood lined with tarp roofed with sheets of old mobile home underskirting, separated a couple hundred feet from the main chickens, about 3 ft x 5 ft and up about 3 1/2 ft off the ground. it's got ventilation at each end.

The OP was wondering about the chicks, but I think he plans on building a chicken tractor, and you may know better then me the ideal dimensions for that number of grown birds.

I have used a chain link dog kennel, where I wrapped the bottom and half the sides in chicken wire and put an old gazebo cover over it (with a pole in the middle of the pen to hold up the point of the gazebo) and then covered that with a tarp to help the rain shed off. You can also buy covers for them but I'm cheap and poor. It was easy enough to move for two people.

And I have built some cages that were big FAILS.

I want to build a tractor this year, still studying designs.

I like reading how others raise theirs.

What size is your storage building, BTW?
