Thanks. I wish I could remember who I "stole" the design from. I found them on a thread a couple of months ago and saved the pics because the design was so great, but now I really wish I would have bookmarked the thread. Whoever it was did a really nice job. I love the way they look and as near as I can tell there won't be much material wasted either.

I want some of those eggs too! Have to get a bator or a broody first though. Who knew this would be so addictive? I just didn't want to buy store eggs anymore.......

I for one am glad you saved these photos. You can fit the dimensions for any individual needs.
Thanks for this thread. Is it spring yet?

If i have several breeds of hens and roosters, and i would like to periodically separate a few hens and a rooster of a particular breed - for breeding, what is a good time frame schedule to use? How long do the hens need to be separated from the other breed rooster to ensure that the resulting chicks are the desired breed?

I hope this question makes sense.

Please lend me your wisdom.
