If you don't fasten those inside parts somehow, the chickens will kick them out of place, and the problem with a run with low height is, what if you have to retrieve a sick or dead chicken?
The flaws I see with this coop is, the Roost should be above the egg boxes or else you may find them roosting in the next boxes and pooping in them (they poop a lot when perched) , I had this problem last winter with my old coop.
wow, that's really slick. Wish I had a nice coup like that when I had chickens. It's nice and neat and easy to service and keep clean. I love the nesting boxes.
i used pretty much the same design with the nesting boxes and the removable platforms but i extended the 2nd story and made under coop available for them to run under if they want to
If you live in the area of Portland, OR or Seattle WA, why not just order one from us? at: the chicken tractor company dot com We deliver! Check us out! We are all about green living and love to promote it by having the tractors available for those who do not have the time to build them.
Holy shit that's clever!!! What are the dimensions of the box? Seems to me the lattice walkway is made of plastic...wouldn't there be a chance of them melting under the heat of the lamp?
Nice job, gives me good ideas for my mini-coop. Have you thought about adding a window? Could buy some plexiglass (18"x8"), cut a hole in the side plywood, predrill holes on the plexiglass and then caulk around it. Hens will appreciate it and you can peep inside without opening the whole thing up!
that is so simple... i love it, but one complaint, i wouldnt use sheet metal because they can get spraddle leg. but that is only for chickes but u can never be to sure. once again im trying not to offend you in anyway it really is a great idea.:)
ASSEMblerEX - Eating two eggs a day has no effect on healthy people as part of a healthy diet. If you have high cholesterol, doctors recommend you don't eat more than one egg per day. If you eat processed foods, you'd be amazed at how many eggs you eat a day without realizing it. I tend to eat around 2 a day, and my neighbours line up to take fresh eggs off my hands, for a price! :) You can also get pet breeds, which aren't such prolific layers, such as silkies.
then eat them every other few days and if you only get a few chickens then you shouldn't have to worry about too many eggs and you can keep them in the fridge just like other ones
that was brilliant! excellent designs, so simple but cleverly crafted. Shows true talent, compared to the over priced crap sold in pet shops and the internet! keep up the good work!! ^__^
Cool man...awesome.

you say but is it straw? i was going to use straw because i thought hay would absorb air moister quickly like
assman255 2 years ago
straw whould be used for bedding as its usually much cheaper and as you said will not absorb moisture like the hay will.
Hay is typically more expensive and used for feed for animals.

I would love to have chickens but I am worried about what to do with all the eggs! Isn't eating eggs every day bad for you?

I live on eggs and have perfect colestorol,
they now say in the uk its fine to eat eggs.
But hey everything in moderation.
fruitykeith 3 years ago 2
Give some to neighbors or sell them. No eating only about 2 eggs is perfectly fine.
