I LOVE reusing/recycling/reclaiming items for my chikens!
My husband gets alot of wood cut in funny dimensions from work and we use that all the time for tons of projects. Example, I divided their coop up to make an entry way to hold their food and supplies out of the coop and add a sick coop. Their nest boxes were built out of an old headboard! (the type with the shelves and mirrors, lol) We have one 5 gal nest box too.
I use the tin pans from lasagna for feeding treats outside.
I used a rubermaid clear box that hubby saved from the garbage to turn into my brooder! And a cooler that the lid tabs broke off on as an incubator. For which I recycled two computer fans, a left over bit of 1/2" wire and saved glass jars as heat sinks.
