The girls just got moved into their new Shack. So much brighter and cooler than the slapped together area in the barn where they had been living.
The south side of the Shack with 2 shuttered windows that open from the outside and the Dutch door I made. The door is made out of some left over siding from the house.
Their first night on a real roost!
It seems to meet everyone's approval.

The roof is steel, also left overs from the barn. The siding is planks pulled from free pallets that were gathered around town. A pop door was made which can be opened from the outside for the chicks to have access to the run (when it is finished).
All of the shuttered windows and the Restore window are covered with this open diamond plate screening that we got from the salvage yard. This is about as predator proof as we could get.
The exterior nesting box plans were from the many different versions that I looked at on BYC. There are 4 nests accessible from the outside for gathering eggs.
