    We created the coop, now the nesting boxes....???

    Thanks for the picture urbanhomesteader, that's given me a clue. My rabbit cage is similar. We just might build a second one that's larger and lock them up in there at night. If it's cold, which won't really be a problem til next winter, will the wire cage part be toocold for them? Creating a...

    Yes the dog house and rabbit cage are big and will have a latch. We'll lock them up at night and they'll be safe and warm. And the coop will be locked up too. At sunrise we'll let them out. As for during the day- we still have some small holes to patch and the netting to put on the top...

    We created the coop, now the nesting boxes....???

    I'm still confused. The hens are not turned out into my open yard. They will be penned in. But my question is about where they sleep at night. As you can see in my picture we did not close in the shed/ it's covered by three sides. Now if I put the rabbit cage and dog house in there, making a...

    We created the coop, now the nesting boxes....???

    Ideas for nesting box....dog house.

    I have quite a large wooden dog house that is of no use to the dog. It has a shingled roof on it. Could this be used to house nesting boxes for eight hens? How would I do it? Would the chickens walk though the front door and find a box to lay their eggs? Would I put legs on the dog house to...

    We created the coop, now the nesting boxes....???

    We live in south Georgia and have eight biddies. I think they are about seven weeks old. They are acting like real chickens scratching and eating off the ground now. They are too cute and very friendly but try to run out the coop everytime the door opens. So next we have to make the nesting...
