I will keep my eyes open and see what I can find. Do you want a specific color or will any color work for you? Also do you care about the size of bottles?

I talked to the wine steward at my local Safeway, and she was able to point out some differently coloered bottles. Also there are some larger beer bottles that are unusual. And I bought a couple at the dollar store. Michaels also has decorative bottles. I looked online, but they seemed very expensive.

I am sure you could find a lot of colored bottles at a recycling station.

My thought about the light at night is that since chickens have near zero visibility at night I didn't want them milling around and then boom boom out go the lights and they cant see to roost.

I turn the light off last night after dark. For some reason it was on after dark. The some of the girls ended up milling around, and at about 3 in the morning I heard one of then singing an egg song. I know how keep the dogs quite, but have yet to figure out how to shut up a hen that is yelling int the middle of the night. I need to make sure my timer is working correctly.

I really like the idea of the solar powered Christmas lights. I will have to look for them. I wonder how well they will work in Western Washington.

I have only found solar powered Christmas lights at target so far.

Well today we got what seems to be the first egg from one of the new RIR banties. It is kind of lighter color than I spected and not quite as big as I thought they would be but I know it may bet bigger.

I have a silkie that was hatched Feb. March and has shown no signs of being a roo. But she still has not layed any ideas? Could it be that she will never lay?
Right now our big girls are not paying thier way. We are only getting 8-9/25. Slackers...... it's whats for dinner soon !!!!!!!

And yes Chickielady I AM looking for bottles. Empty or full.

The first tree you showed is way simple.
I guess I need to buy some rod and start building. They will all be "freestyle".I think I will try to do small, large, bush and wall mount.

I covet my "neighbor's" egg colors.

Well I'm pretty sure this is a rooster...

But the colors are very interesting so far.
Head feathers (under the down) appear to be coming in buff.
The buff color fades as you go towards the tail.
Tail is white as white can be.
Gonna be interesting to watch him grow up... just to bad about the roo part

Buff Orpington x White Leghorn
