post your chicken coop pictures here!

Someone on the Silkie thread said they had issues with Silkies sleeping on the less-than-clean floor. To entice them up off the floor she put a covered cat litter box filled with bedding in their spot and they use that now instead of the floor.

I scoop poop every day and she sleeps on fresh pine shavings so the floor this isn't a problem. And I'm ashamed to admit it, but we moved her inside at night after something attacked her and haven't moved her back out. She free-ranges and spends time in the run with the other girls but when everyone goes to put themselves to bed, she comes to the back door and waits for me to bring her inside and put her in her crate. This is my husband's least favorite thing about me keeping chickens.
 
This is my new Eggstream Tractor. Front view. sides cut from two pieces of 4x8ft 3/4in ply wood. 8in wheels. handles made from old axe handles

one side has two doors./ one for getting eggs open both for cleaning out. a sheet of linoleum on the floor pulls out for hosing down. they have faux stone tile flooring.

this big door on this side allows for feeding and watering. the PVC pipe is their feeder. which I fill in the top door there. next to it on the inside is a gallon bucket with nipples that hang out the bottom and through the floor so the chicks can access it from next to the feeder underneath.

and here is the assortment of bantams coming out of the top for the first time. checking it out.

my daughter fits inside for now.
