Yeah, turns out it's actually like huge, at least height wise haha



Only problem is the squares on the bottom are too big but I have loads of extra hardware cloth to solve that with!

Next question, where to put the crate????

I really have no good spot. :/

Mine keeps doing the same.

Your hen would look funny with her legs sticking through the bottom. For some reason there's a cow icon now.

You could always stick her in the garage, or just in the corner. What do your birds do when it rains?

Yeah, it's annoying.

LOL she would! If it was just a little smaller she might be able to carry it around

There's a cow probably cause it's a herd site. but it's not as good as ours lol

I thought about bringing her in the house or garage but would she have problems reintegrating if I did that? I might just stick her in a corner. I was just nervous about a lone chicken in a crate with like predators and stuff but the run is secure and Gator alerts as soon as he hears anything. He watches out the other window but checks the back one occasionally too and if he hears any squawking, he stands up to look. If it's just the morning egg song, he looks again to be sure then goes back to sleep. If there is a predator (like the other day there was a fox) or if it's the middle of the night (obviously something wrong), he jumps off the bed and goes to the door and goes ballistic haha so we have no choice but to wake up. So he would probably spot any predator before they had a chance to get in.

As for rain, they usually hide under the coop haha

But we actually used to have a roof (well plywood) on the bigger half and I plan to put something back up but we just replaced the roof like last week. Put welded wire up. I got sick of dealing with bird netting when going into the pen and plus the ladder and mismatched pieces of wood were ugly aha not that that matters but yeah. They do need more shelter from the rain though

Hi sour!

It's a stampede!!!!!

Hide! Lol

Don't know of this helps, but I'm onto my third broody this year, and for all of them I've had them in horse/now chicken stalls. Just put two chicks that hatched yesterday under a new broody and things seem okay so far.
