Hey all! I just wanted to post an update on the new shed and caging I've recently invested in!
The shed I bought from a friend who built it rough for her chickens.. it's a 12x10 shed, and I loved it because it looks like a miniature horse barn! I bought it for $1400 CAN delivered. We knew it needed some work but holy moly did it ever. Hubby has replaced the roof (came with metal roof, but it was not properly installed and it leaked like all get out), he went with regular shingles and I love it. He had to completely replace the door frame and handles/locks. He also installed the 2 new windows, replaced the flooring with Plywood and then I had the genius idea to cover it with a sheet of laminate for easy clean up. He also decided of his own accord without being asked (!!!) to insulate the one side because the caging on that side attaches directly to the wall so he said it was now or never. He is such a doll. It still needs to be wrapped with the tar paper and then we are wood shingling it all the way around. It is going to be SO sweet once it's totally finished.
I had bought new caging, 6 holes from Grandview Rabbitry who I very HIGHLY recommend. AMAZING quality for an almost unbelievable price. I just love these new cages. I can't stop raving about them!
So I now have 12 holes for all my breeding does and growing out kits, plus I have 2 outside hutches for the bucks. In the near future hubby will be adding another 4 cages along the bottom of the other wall, they will have 24"x24" cages with runs attached on the outside about 3 feet long. It will be really great to have everyone in one building and within reach!
