Great article!
I don’t often see dirty eggs but I have a pencil so I can write the date I collected them on the blunt end, so I know how old each is. I only warm water wash and use a blue scrubber to remove dirt before use, as I keep all my eggs in the fridge for longevity- no cracked egg goes in there ever, they are removed and eaten first. Never had a problem with a bad egg yet.

interesting ideas, love the swing! - could add that to my 'pallet palace'; let me explain!...

I have a (free) 'pallet palace' in may fenced-in run, just three pallets leaning together and secured with extra strength zip ties...

(I added additional zip ties made of stainless steel for safety/ strength- go get these from Ha-rb-or Freight for $5) the third pallet leans against the open side to give some extra security - found one of my ISAs roosting on top of it the other night... I have a big sunbrella secured to it so they have a real 'vacation home' too - they are just layers, but really they are family now...
I also just added the shade cover, in the back left- gives the ladies an extra large covered area to shelter from our (currently) 100degree + weather in NC!)
Hope this idea gives others the inspiration to build their own 'pallet palace' - the pallets are free, just spend $5 on sturdy super long zip ties or wire..!
(sunbrella optional )
(the eagle eyed will spot the 'mister' on top of the coop.. keeps them cooler and worth th $20 from Am-a-zon !)

Good to know- appreciate you posting this info as finding it was impossible on the website!
My neighbor down the street has a rooster but nobody has reported any problems so I think he’s ok…[for now!] I will let him know about the 0 rooster policy though.

you know when you think to yourself 'hmmm, I wonder if I could build a coop out of pic pipe...' and then you find someone already did - love it, thank you for a great build and smart wheeled tractor design. Great job!!

really nice work and great job on the finish- not sure mine will look that good, but ya never know... thanks for posting.

I love home made and simple- forget wasting money at the store, give them a real feeder for the real world! nice idea and easy enough that anyone can make it- bravo!!

simple, effective and agree with others about quantity of water- if larger flock then fine, for me (6 birds) probably a smaller bucket or a brick inside the bucket to take up some volume is better & help with use/ care. thanks for sharing this one!
