In the Brooder
Just like IamRainy, I use kitty litter buckets laid on their side. I cut off the portion of the top/lid that opens and leave the "stationary" part of the lid to keep the shavings inside. They are super sturdy & easy to pull out & clean. I think the girls like the dark coziness & "privacy" that they provide. They all seem to fight over the same one even though I have three in a row. My problem is that some chick is sleeping (AND POOPING!) in them at night & my eggs are getting dirty....maybe they are TOO cozy.
