my grandson found him, he'd fallen from his nest, about a week old, didn't know then, but they imprint on people, so couldn't be released- which started my facination with birds...then another starling, a paralyzed sparrow, a one eyed and winged blue jay and ultimately by chicken obsession.... so my feather total is 2 starlings, a sparrow (recoverd now), a blue jay, 4 finches, a cockatiel, and of course the ultimate my chickens...LOL!

No, I didn't think they were your nest boxes, but after your "careful" comment about how much you paid for them, I thought to myself "oh no, he could have probably bought them for less on Craigslist - and he isn't too far from Lawton"

Here are some nest boxes on the OKC Craigslist http://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/grd/1512710555.html
I have never seen one quite like it - it is double sided with 6 holes on each side. All of mine are designed to hang on a wall, but this one looks like it would be free standing.

Oh. Okay. I did check Craigslist for Lawton and couldn't find anything about nest boxes so they must have pulled it already. I was curious how I did. But they are "like new" and since I got them for less than half price for new, I feel okay about it. There was another set just like them that went for a lot less, but they weren't in nearly a good a shape as the set I ended up buying.

What I'm really happy about is how much my chickens like them. They took to them right away.

Yeah those are really nice, but wouldn't work for my setup I don't think.

I think you would need a wide barn so you could put them in the middle of the area. I like that mine are hung several feet off the floor.

I am pretty sure that those could be seperated fairly easily wish they were closer

Good evening, Al
What did you fix for supper? We have had reports of spaghetti and a chicken curry dish, along with pore ole Stimp's pork and beans.
