A pen is a common writing instrument that applies ink to a surface, usually paper, for writing or drawing. Early pens such as reed pens, quill pens, dip pens and ruling pens held a small amount of ink on a nib or in a small void or cavity that had to be periodically recharged by dipping the tip of the pen into an inkwell. Today, such pens find only a small number of specialized uses, such as in illustration and calligraphy. Reed pens, quill pens and dip pens, which were used for writing, have been replaced by ballpoint pens, rollerball pens, fountain pens and felt or ceramic tip pens. Ruling pens, which were used for technical drawing and cartography, have been replaced by technical pens such as the Rapidograph. All of these modern pens contain internal ink reservoirs, such that they do not need to be dipped in ink while writing.
Poultry () are domesticated birds kept by humans for the purpose of harvesting animal products such as meat, eggs or feathers. The practice of raising poultry is known as poultry farming. These birds are most typically members of the superorder Galloanserae (fowl), especially the order Galliformes (which includes chickens, quails, and turkeys). The term also includes waterfowls of the family Anatidae (ducks and geese) but does not include wild birds hunted for food known as game or quarry.
Recent genomic studies involving the four extant junglefowl species reveals that the domestication of chicken, the most populous poultry species, occurred around 8,000 years ago in Southeast Asia. This was previously believed to have occurred around 5,400 years ago, also in Southeast Asia. The process may have originally occurred as a result of people hatching and rearing young birds from eggs collected from the wild, but later involved keeping the birds permanently in captivity. Domesticated chickens may have been used for cockfighting at first and quail kept for their songs, but people soon realised the advantages of having a captive-bred source of food. Selective breeding for fast growth, egg-laying ability, conformation, plumage and docility took place over the centuries, and modern breeds often look very different from their wild ancestors. Although some birds are still kept in small flocks in extensive systems, most birds available in the market today are reared in intensive commercial enterprises.
Together with pork, poultry is one of the two most widely-eaten types of meat globally, with over 70% of the meat supply in 2012 between them; poultry provides nutritionally beneficial food containing high-quality protein accompanied by a low proportion of fat. All poultry meat should be properly handled and sufficiently cooked in order to reduce the risk of food poisoning. Semi-vegetarians who consume poultry as the only source of meat are said to adhere to pollotarianism.
Pride is defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary as "reasonable self-esteem" or "confidence and satisfaction in oneself". The Oxford dictionary defines it as "the quality of having an excessively high opinion of oneself or one's own importance." Pride may be related to one's own abilities or achievements, positive characteristics of friends or family, or one's country. Richard Taylor defined pride as "the justified love of oneself," as opposed to false pride or narcissism. Similarly, St. Augustine defined it as "the love of one's own excellence", and Meher Baba called it "the specific feeling through which egoism manifests."
Philosophers and social psychologists have noted that pride is a complex secondary emotion that requires the development of a sense of self and the mastery of relevant conceptual distinctions (e.g. that pride is distinct from happiness and joy) through language-based interaction with others. Some social psychologists identify the nonverbal expression of pride as a means of sending a functional, automatically perceived signal of high social status.
Pride may be considered the opposite of shame or of humility, sometimes as proper or as a virtue and sometimes as corrupt or as a vice. With a positive connotation, pride refers to a content sense of attachment toward one's own or another's choices and actions, or toward a whole group of people and is a product of praise, independent self-reflection and a fulfilled feeling of belonging. Other possible objects of pride are one's ethnicity and one's sex identity (for example, LGBT pride). With a negative connotation, pride refers to a foolishly and irrationally corrupt sense of one's personal value, status, or accomplishments used synonymously with hubris.
While some philosophers such as Aristotle (and George Bernard Shaw) consider pride (but not hubris) a profound virtue, some world religions consider pride's fraudulent form a sin, seen in Proverbs 11:2 of the Hebrew Bible. In Judaism, pride is called the root of all evil. When viewed as a virtue, pride in one's abilities is known as virtuous pride, greatness of soul, or magnanimity, but when viewed as a vice, it is often known to be self-idolatry, sadistic contempt, vanity or vainglory.

The Producer’s Pride Universal Poultry Pen is a very sturdy and solid cage. It has a robust feel to it and is heavy. The door and latch are solid. It would be a great choice for an animal kennel. Take note of some considerations when using it for birds: the gaps along the base and between panels are large. A chick or small bird would have no trouble escaping through these gaps (we lost one chick this way). Also, a rodent or snake would be able to get in through these gaps. You should wrap the lower half in chicken wire or mesh to add protection for small birds. However, for larger animals there shouldn’t be any issues. I noticed dozens of people are asking about expandability of this cage. Producer’s Pride really needs to sell additional panels…there is a HUGE demand for them but they are simply not available. You would need to purchase an entire additional pen unit if you wish to expand. It’s unfortunate because there is obviously a demand for panels. This product would also greatly benefit from some covering options. A tarp covering is tacky and cheap. People purchasing this cage are looking for a superior product, so it should have appropriate accessories and options.

The best ! Sturdy, protective, and spacious! Our Coop fits inside wirh plenty of space for my ladies to roam. Worth the money! Best investment we could have made for them.

I had purchased this pen to use for my adopted beagle pup and it has been absolutely amazing! One thing I did to make it better was to attach hardware cloth (wire) to the bottom of the pen to keep my dog from digging out and this has made the pen virtually escape-proof. I now have adopted another beagle (both spayed females) and when they get the zoomies in the pen, I don’t have to worry that they are going to get out! I use a thick layer of shavings on the floor so that it is comfortable and easy to clean. This pen looks very nice and as I painted the bottom rail and all of the hardware with a heavy duty black gloss paint, just as a precaution against future problems with rust, I feel this pen will last a long time and look good too. Also I used 10×10 shade mesh cloth around it to help with the summer sun when the dogs are out playing. (I don’t leave them in the pen all day, only for exercise.)

Great product. Love the roof so a tarp can be put on. It was the last one on the lot and was torn. They gave me extra pieces fearing bolts and other hardware might be missing. Got it home and sure enough some were missing but the pipping was bent. Called and told them they refunded me 200$. It’s not quite square because of being bent but is still wonderful pen and great customer service

Petty good chicken pen, needs a little fencing strips to cover the gaps against predators.. This pen is cheaper and time saving than getting wood and cattle panels.. On my mine it came bent but not too bad from shipping. A few of the welds were junky and are rusting a couple months but spray paint will fix that.. Took most of the day to set up with 2 people. Over all this pen worth the price, saves money.
by Steve
Easy to assemble, strong and looks nice. I bought 2 pens to put them together and found I cannot incorporate all panels together. But what I can put together is enough for my hens. The extra panels will be used elsewhere.

We run a cat rescue and some of those boogers just want to be outside for a bit so this will be their catio from a window. It’s very sturdy and well made. I love how there is a panel that can be pulled out to add onto it so we will likely attach another pen in the future.
by Wolfeden
Its a great addition to a chicken coop. Simple to put together (much easier with two). Its a very sturdy cage that gives my young (or old) chickens extra space to figure things out and get their chicken on.. When putting together pay attention to the size holes in the up/down panels. Put the smaller holes to the bottom. Young chicks will breeze right through the larger ones. . Very happy with the purchase..
by Art
Assembles quick, nice internal space for my chickens, i used this in conjunction with the producers pride chicken coop. I like it and i recommend it.
by Bitter
This is one of the better poultry pens around. The top is enclosed and it’s easy to install. We have two of these and we love them. We will be purchasing a third one to house some duck and or chickens. They have helped to keep our animals safe at night which we are thankful for.
by Anthony
Great product. But the gaps where the panels meet need to be smaller. Predators can still reach in through them.
by Daniel
Exceptional Quality Product. I would recommend this product for any use with livestock. I bought two and will buy many more!
by Kathryn
Awesome addition to our chicken coop. Bottom needs a little smaller chicken wire to keep small ones in, but overall great product. Easy build.
by Lisa
I purchased this for my chickens, I just didn’t have the time to build a chicken run. This option is very rugged, I believe my dogs would be quite save in it. My husband and I put it together in one day. It is very heavy. The door is easy to use and makes getting in to feed,water,and clean the pen easy. While it is a pricey option I’m already thinking about buying additional panels to extend it. I love it.
by Kim
We have purchased 2 of these pens. They are easy to assemble and even better they’re easy to get in and out of by humans. We are happy with our purchases.
by Nibor
Even though the measurements were clearly marked on the pen, when we got it home and set up, it was much smaller than I expected. It definitely took 2 people to put it together, but the instructions were clear and consice.
