Our new coop/rabbit house!
Posted: Mon Oct 31, 2016 10:17 am
Almost done the new coop/rabbit house! We turned a little brown 70's particle board 8x8 shed into an 18x8' long outbuilding with electricity! We used mostly recycled, restore or auction materials (like our gorgeous $5 siding). It is fully insulated, with a 5x8' storage room in the front entrance and a gable window (no photo) on the South-west side.
The rabbit house is completely removable. I can take out everything & clean it. Each panel can be reconfigured to make separate cages for new bird quarantines, brooder areas or just to separate anyone misbehaving! The floor is reversible, removable linoleum. Edwing & Ezekial are very happy in their new home.
These are the new birds, fresh out of quarantine from the Mount Forest Fall sale. They have been in 2 separate cages in the garage until about a week ago, when I put the cages beside each other, then put them in the new coop together. So far, so good. Only a little bit of feather pulling. There is a Porcelain D'Uccle, Mille Fleur, Amauricana and a White Crested Black Polish.
Next week I will introduce the older hens, who are still out in the small coop, enjoying the last of the good weather. A black Silkie, a Partridge Silkie, a tiny Brahma, 2 Gold Laced Polish and a Mille Fleur roo.
