Nice design job. I like how you incorporated the pvc feeder/waterer and even storage!

TY. the "storage" is actually the nesting boxes when they get older. I will probably make a new divider and block off one box for storage. I am sure 2 boxes will be enough for 4-5 layers. The PVC feeder and water was cheap and easy. The cap for the feeder is great. When it rains or the make a mess of their food i just put the cap on. The nesting box actualy hinges from the top so i can hinge it up and have the mess just dumps out. The floor lefts up to dump out the shavings and poop and then just move the tractor. The only thing i did not do was vents. RIght now i just prop the lid up w/ blocks to leave a 2" gap but i will need to put some vent in and maybe a poop door on one side.
