The Moonshiner's Leghorns

This is how I store eggs before going in the incubator.
My son helped with the idea and construction. It's a little rough but was supposed to be a prototype to see if it worked.
It works so well I've just been using it as is.
I use these plastic egg trays so wanted a way to hold and turn all at once. They're stackable so it can hold 120 eggs. More then I need it to but we made room for if that changes.
It just spins so 3 times a day (if I remember) I just spin it so the top side becomes the bottom.

I do carry a 5 gallon bucket with feed but not a big deal. When I get to the end I collect eggs on the way back and use the bucket to tote them.
I keep the water bowls by the front and water through the wire. It is a pain when I need to wash them out so I keep them raised to prolong that need.

I keep my girls on a short leash.
The roosters I'm not using at the time are in a general population pen and always looking to escape. Some do.
I don't want my girls soiled by some random cock so I'm paranoid about making sure they're locked down.
If they get with some strange that's a month I can't use them. Can't have that.

Hahaahah love the meme.
These hens just dont understand,Moony.
There's three things to keep a rooster happy. Just three things;and as soon as these hens understand it... life would be so much easier for everybody.
1)Keep his stomach full
2)Testicles empty
3)Peace in the coop.

THERE I SAID IT.

I was just looking for fast and efficient.

 

[Painted Calls]

Do they already have something similar? Moony, figure out a way to make that thing automatic. For the lazy and forgetful peeps.
