Got some more breeding pens up today

Below are 2 views of the sides with dividers, and the 3rd pic is after I added the doors. (These are made with dog exercise pens).

I've been taking pics of every single step. I've taken TONS of pics, and there will be more. There will be a very detailed blog post. Soon.

Getting there. Have to add the roosts, water bowls, nest boxes, etc. (the water bowls are temporary until I get the water system set up).

The plywood is also temporary.

I like the idea of using exercise pens.

Do the males fight through the partitions?
