I'm going to run out and take some pictures and then get my son-in-law to show me how to post the pics. LOL

Any time!

Just a little something that I threw together...

I'd consider living in that thing! Fantastic creation.

4x8 tractor with 3 nesting buckets, a section for chicks with a Mama Heating Pad bucket, 20 feet of roosts, and isolated grazing for the chicks below. I’ve added a 8x12 portable run that mates to the front of the tractor. I move them weekly to keep the chickens in fresh grass flooring. Now that the chicks are older, I opened the door between sections to integrate the birds.

Good looking Pointer, too.

Yes, the barrel is a community nest. There is a little window as a door in the back to collect the eggs. The curtain is just 2 pieces of green felt attached with Velcro strips so it's removable.

I used to use a barrel like that for one of my dogs, but not elevated. Looked out one day & saw that the barrel had collapsed around the dog, the staves had dried out. Got another barrel & screwed the staves in place through the bands.
