    What is this little fellow?

    Newbie coop finished, but with nesting box questions...

    Well, it's pretty much finished. But I need to know if my nesting box set up will work. Do I need to make more of a cut-out to make it easier for them to hop in? And I'm guessing straw is the preferred nesting material? They are standard size Brahmas.

    Newbie Coop...Now 90% complete! Yeah!

    Okay, We added the roofing tar paper to the walls and added the shakes. We cut all the shakes from pallets we got for free. Very time consuming, but I am happy with the effect and not to mention the money not spent! All that is left is a roosting area and more landscaping. Excuse the mess...

    Thanks everybody for your replies! The little metal things on the post are ladies holding bowls of fruit (but they look like eggs to me!) I just had them laying around (no pun intended) so I stuck them up there. Someone had posted something about the plywood...will it be okay with the shakes...
