Yep, pics are good.

Look good to me. I use plastic produce crates that I got free from the local grocery store. Don't think the chickens care what they are as long as the get a bit of privacy.

that's the part I don't get. These Rubbermaid totes have the lid on them and everything. Only entrance is the hole on the front. They will lay in the middle of the run to avoid using them.

Nothing better then a clean brooder! I remember when I was a kid I hated cleaning the coops and stalls and feeding the animals...I find it so relaxing! I put up a new roost in the brooder today so now there is three...only a few of them are roosting but we will see...how was everyone's Saturday?

Maybe they are too private. Possibly needs a bit of ventilation. You should get that with the new ones.

Shhhhhhh don't make me laugh and scare off the deer!

I know right.... Actually I'm a little Shakey i just had a bear pass through.... Chocked my pistol for that one...... Not that my little .380 would hurt it

I have some of those! Work great, but do need to be secured... I also hot glued some of the gripper shelf liner to the bottoms, my girls will kick everything out and that bottom is super slick...

Maybe some of your hens don't like privacy? Or feeling cornered/enclosed? I have some like that... the Cemanis LOVE their basket like that though... never had one lay anywhere else, ever...
