Opinions on this Hutch

[Kevin S.]

This is kinda what I am thinking about building. I may put windows or something in the side, so that in the heat of summer I can get additional airflow. I like this design for several reasons, one being that I can easily put a tarp or some cover over the front if we get some hard blowing sleet/snow. I also like that this setup is kinda "modular" and allows for a great deal of flexibility.

I live in AR and was worried about the heat and also about having wood in the corners that would be urinated on. I put wire on the bottom 6 inches of the wall all the way around, and it is working great as far as no build up in the corners. I am going to add a box for them to get in for warmth and lots of hay for winter, but plan to leave the ventilation as is. See pic in thread below.

I love that set up. Easy & compact. Sorry about the wackos on your video comments.

That last buck looks more like a Chinchilla and not a Champagne.. The half NZW jr. doe is definitely chinchilla coloured.

I really like quonset hutches for buck and grow out cages, especially when it comes to building them! Not good for does unless you can do drop nest boxes though. The quonset hutches give you the most bang for your buck, though, if you can place them back to back with no gap at the bottom, then they become an instant hay feeder.
