The one I saw was on a trailer at a flea market type thing. Looked to be two 4' by 16 " hog panels, four sets of A frames on 4' centers with 1" poultry netting. Scraps of metal roofing were on one end to provide shelter, and cardboard was leaning on one side toprovide shade for the flock of ducks that were in there. They had chickens in pet carriers, one interesting thing was large dog crates had plywood across between the top and bottom sections, making a two level crate. The original doors had been lost when the guy salvaged them and he had made doors out of chicken wire stretched onto a frame made of what we call sea cane, a kind of bamboo that grows here.
This guy sure knows how to recycle.
