Hexagon Coop and Rabbit pen. We made a few modifications to secure the flooring on the coop and found that the door for the coop fits just inside of this long "rabbit run." Way better than we expected. We may need to put a little reinforcement round the bottom of the pen to keep it more sturdy and stable, but for now, I think we are okay with how it works. The plan was to sell off three of the oldest hens, but that's not working out so well. People want them for free... well, since the hens are currently laying about 18 eggs per week (collectively), I'm not going to just GIVE them away. So, for now, we will keep them since they are still producing so well.
Anyway, the cage has a metal "stabilizer" bar in the middle, and I know that the pullets will want to roost on it, so I wrapped it with a rope to give them leverage. I will be finding a pole or something that I can use to hang the feeder on in the corner of the pen to get the food up off the ground and less accessible for the mice. Then we should be fairly "good to go." heading into the summer months with the pullets.
