dacjohns - never apologize for the way you made something for your chickens. I think using good ole fashioned ingenuity and 'finding' things laying around to use is always a great idea! That not only makes you smart but frugal at the same time.
You did a great job with your nest boxes and it's obvious that your hens love them... so ... you win!
