My Resin/plastic coop construction thread :)

@DIGGIN CHICKEN Ya know I was thinking about that. Not sure how well it would work, but it is a cool idea and makes for more "floor" footage.

She kicked out the 2 fake eggs

Did you put some higher fronts on the nests?

Second story is tempting...but.....them getting up and down might be dicey.

Not yet, too hot today to do much. What is there was scrap and I have some more but need to cut it a bit shorter. I may have to leave a little gap between to give some height.

That should work ok......some bedding might get out but it'll keep the eggs inside.

I watched her the other day (before she actually laid an egg) she is ruff with the shavings Everywhere they went. I knew I had to do something but... i iz lazy lately
She did sit on her egg for about 5 min before she left the nest. But the rest of the herd was in the coop eating and eyeing her.

That frantic scratching usually slows/stops after the first few eggs.

So the water source for sink it a gallon jug?
Does it have a drain, if so, where does it drain to?
Pics?

No drain but one could be put in just as we put one in the ducks pool, it just makes it easier to clean them and other things up, and transfer their dirty feed and water things in the house, or if I need to soak things, it also keeps their stuff off my counter tops. Bring um in, clean them and re-load for the morning. Also if I need to soak a hen, or clean an injury can do it all right there. major time saver

Would think a sink without a drain might be a pain,
would rather use a tub that could be picked up and dumped.
