I feel like I need to give an update on this project since it has been revived on Pinterest and Facebook. It's been about 4 years since we made these. Since then, we have discovered: (1) Since spools are not treated wood, they decay very, very quickly. Right now, the pens are a pile of trash...

We used them for pigeons. Pigeons only lay a couple of small eggs at a time before they will start to sit. They laid eggs in the center portion of the spool. You can see where I cute a hole out for them to get into.

Wow! This thread has been resurrected. I recently saw it "pinned" on Pinterest as well. We used ours for pigeons and OEGBs when we raised them and they had space to walk around inside the pen. However, we did let them out to scratch around at least once a week. The pigeons would fly out of...

Quote: Wow! That is really cool. I don't mind at all. I'm not one for hogging credit, but if you feel like it, you can credit it to Kandace Green and Bill Burney (my grandfather)... he helped me with a lot of the details and tools.

Quote: Yeah, she's my nosey girl. Always has a "what the heck?" look on her face. She is due to kid in a few days. Keep an eye out for baby pic posting.

"Final" product pictures (still need to do some tweaking on the feed and water ideas, and debating on some kind of perch to attach somewhere): This last picture shows the door open. We drilled a hole to put a nail in to hold the door up. When you open the door, take the nail that is...

Quote: This is just a thought and haven't tested these yet. Food- rabbit feeder (may roost on it?) Water- quart chick waterers or recycled 1/2 gallon milk jugs

I plan on posting some completed project pictures this weekend, or at least by Monday. We have put in the doors and put it on a "sleigh" so it can be moved around with the lawn mower. ...and the electric company was very happy for us to have them and haul them off. They have to pay the landfill...

Quote: Well, that's why I said that the 6 foot wire would work better. The space is just over a foot tall in the center. Probably try a pair of pigeon in there, but if they can't stand up, I'll probably just use it for storage... or whatever!

Here is a picture of it without the doors installed. These are recycled wire spools (FREE!) from the electric company. We used 5 foot biddy wire, but I think it would work out better if you can find the 6 foot wire. That way, the middle section will be larger. If interested, I will post...
