What is it that counts as bearded on a chicken? There are some names of their decorations I only have an idea of.

Candy has a beard (the black fluff that fills in between the bottom of her beak and her neck)

Hurra does not - nothing but big'ol handsome rooster wattles for him!

And here is the parts list for those with CX:




ETA: Give me a couple of weeks and I can give an exploded parts diagram

My landlord is awesome. He heard it through the grape vine that I had chickens and he called to say he would drop off a wooden frame with chicken wire on it and I could use it however I wanted. I came home to this massive thing in my yard. Each square has chicken wire on all sides so I had to cut some of the chicken wire off of it to make it just a hollow tube. The chickens are sticking close to the coop. They are not keen on being out in the open.

This set up is completely temporary. The chicks are still not full feathered and are only outside when I am at home and it is nice out.

NICE!

I like that kind of construction!

 

[MontyJ]

I like it but...how do you close the coop door at night?

 

[StonyGarden]

I don't. They are still not fully feathered so they only go outside when the weather is nice and i am home to keep an eye on them. There is chicken wire that loops around the open looking corner between the run and the door so they can't get out and nothing can get in.

 

[MontyJ]

Oh, I get it. They don't live in the coop yet. You move them out there and bring them back in. Very cool!
