Great re-use of material and good design.

Good article!
But if you make a few Wool Hens for the chicks to get under, you don't even need any heat lamps. A properly constructed Wool Hen will keep the babies as warm as a real Momma Hen.

Super cool protection for the birds!

Ain't no reason to be sorry.
It's good info for those who are seeking help. Most folks don't have the knowledge from dealing with chickens for thousands of years!

It's Little Jerry Seinfeld!

Excellent job!
A piece of rubber or even an old piece of linoleum would work to keep the hinge joint dry. Just extend it across the top piece of roof, maybe tilt the box outward a touch so rain would run off the roof to the outside.
You sure have some great ideas.
I like it!

5 stars!

I've been putting off building one, but as easy as this is, why wait!

Very good job!

The hygrometer info is most useful!

You cook yours nearly identical to the way I make it. I usually use liquid smoke instead of kitchen bouquet, but both are delicious!

Many of us have larger flocks that need a large scale fodder system. I have sprouted in jars but when I gave it to the birds, it was devoured in a few seconds and 90% didn't even get any. This larger scale system may work for me if I can get about 20-30 of these Tupperware pans to do a couple of 5 gal buckets worth of fodder a day.
When I tried to do it in the 5 gal buckets, it wound up getting sorta funky no matter how much it was drained. Not enough fresh air I guess. Maybe this will work better. Any advise is certainly welcome.

I've had problems with broodys keeping eggs under them in flat bottom nest boxes but I put extra straw in so they could form a natural dirt bath shaped hole in the nesting material. I even once put a couple inches of sand under the straw and the girls seemed to like it. It could have even helped with holding humidity. It's my opinion this guy is on to something. One can never do enough research into poultry husbandry improvement. We all learn everyday.
