Nest boxes finally done!

Whew!Click on pics to enlarge. You can see the whole coop on my page.




(Outside closed--outside open--Inside view)

Close up of nest box cabinet. Found the cabinet someone was tossing after a remodel. I used 5 gallon buckets for the actual nests. Egg collection will be easy from outside. I used a piece of PVC pipe with a slit Dremeled out to go over the sharp front edge.

Very cool idea. I like it!

I like those a lot! Simple and effective.

Is your exterior latch going to be predator proof?

They were going to just be divided out in boxes with wood, but I got tired of waiting for DH, lol.

echlfan,
Very, very nice! Is that a round mirror I see in your coop? I never thought of that. Do they like peeking at themselves?

 

[echlfan]

Yes it is a round mirror. They like to peck at it.

I like that!
