Dude!!! I love that!

I wish all of my hens and pullets were laying. I'd be getting 14 eggs a day.

The plumbing may look like spaghetti but its actually very simple. I only wanted one hole in the floor for the drain line and one for the water inlet, so I did most of the connections under the sink rather than under the building. The idea was that everything could be in the heated part rather than taking a chance of something freezing. I have a 2" drain line that runs from the septic tank. It comes up through the floor and has a "T" which one goes to the double bowl sink the other to the utility sink.

As far as the fresh water plumbing goes, I have one main cold water pipe that comes 125' across my yard(it has a buried "T" in the yard that connect to a freeze proof hydrant for outside use) which comes from the main house water line and comes up through he floor with a shut off. It then T's off to the cold intake to the water heater and to both cold water lines on the sinks. At the moment I only have the hot water plumbed to the eggs cleaning sink but i have already bought the pipe to plumb the utility sink with hot water as well. I installed a cold water "shut off valve" going into the cold side of the water heater and at both hot and cold water connections at the sinks.

This is an amazing coop you have built. I know you and your chickens will be very happy with it for many years!!
