Nice design. Do you have any idea how long that heat lamp can run using your current setup?

Great job recycling the trampoline,litter boxes and making your watering bucket. Love it and solar power!

Nice design. Do you have any idea how much time you get with that heat lamp from your current setup?

If my math is correct depending on the drainage. On a full charge I will get around 54 hours. Watts/250 ÷ Voltage/120 = 2.08/AMPS. My amps are 2.08 withy battery being @ 126 Ah.

Sounds good. You might consider this to help automate when it comes on: Thermo Cube

He posted some photos in the gallery section, too.

My husband and I love this design and the recycled litter containers and trampoline. Very clever. It's also spacious without using a lot of square footage, and if the need ever arises, you can turn half of the nesting box platform into a treatment station. And under the table there's room for a holding pen. I love that.

Do you find your chickens favor one roost over the other? Ours tend to clump together, even in hot weather. But one loves perching on top of a tall platform, separate from the group. Sometimes another one joins her, and other times they're all clumped in one feathery mass on the main roost.

That's a cool device. I will look into finding one around town. Thanks for showing me that.

Nice structure!

Those birds shouldn't need heat anymore.
