they are in 4 in 1 breeder pens/coops. each houseing unit is one big coop divided into 4 seperate coops. attached to them is a huge run divided into 4 runs one for each coop. they sit some 3ft off the ground some 4ft due to the creek that runs behind incase of flooding. they are too close to a main highway and woods with to many preditors so they have to be confined unless we are in the yard with them where we can play and watch them. other than winter mths for warmth since they are unheated everyone is seperated by breed/color unless babies in the grow out pens.

i'll see if i can post some pics of some of them so u see what i mean. we usually store buckets of feed and bedding under the coops. when we need to clean them ya pull up a garbage can drop the drop doors on front of coops after you chase them in the runs and ya can scoop everything out in the can from the back doors. so much easier to clean,lol.

this one is part of a back shot of one there is 4 coops but only 3 are showing. the one with the door open has babies in it. was hot that day so we put screen up and left the brooder light off too keep them cool. wow that look crooked,lol but in person it's not they must of fixed that,lol. this is the first one we built.
