We’ve got three separate batches of poultry brooding now – 50 more broilers in the old hog barn, and in one half of the chicken coop, we’ve got the fancy chickens and guineas. The broilers can’t be with any others since they are too pushy and the fancy chickens and guineas can’t be together since they require food of differing protien levels.
So our solution was to stick an old piece of paneling in the ring to divide it up. The paneling has come into many uses – we ripped all the sheets of the dark paneling off the walls of the house shortly after we moved in and I just stuck it in a shed and slowly have been finding uses for it in unexpected ways.
It’s amazing how when you live on a farm or an acreage there is always a need popping up to use scrap wood/paneling/bricks.
I miss those days.
