Chicken mansion

Kevin Davis built a spectacular "Chicken Mansion" on his Kentucky acreage, complete with a wire roost, outside entry nest boxes, predator-proof runs, and automatic feeders. Take a look at these great photos!

Safe and sound

Kevin Davis' chicken coop measures 8' x 12'. He fenced in a 20' x 20' x 6' tall run area. The run fencing is 1" x 2" welded wire with poultry wire over the top. "Before I completed this I lost one chicken to a hawk," he says.
