Well I had a little bit of time today to take care of some things; namely the latches, handles and holes which got bordered up with mesh. It's a bit ugly and I'm not entirely sold on the squares but the staples on the bottom keep them somewhat rigid and the wire is mostly to stop the mice. I...

Tested the nipple drinker on a bit of pipe today courtesy of a new 3/8 tap drill bit and a 9mm drill bit. I'm going to automate water to the quail coop and I got a cool little t junction that I'm going to use for the chickens. I suppose the next thing is what to do about spacing. I'll sift...

I believe I have 99 eggs but who knows. I'd say some witty jay-z quote but I'm too bloody tired and wanna crash and get onto the next day!

I have trialed two different cup style drinkers that were the most popular on aliexpress at the time. One was a big cup and just slowly let water in but it needed to be level and then the most common type the chickens would just grab the plastic cup and pull them off. So now I'm armed with the...

Thank you! Tomorrow is Friday so we'll see how much work gets done but my idea of using gravity instead of a pump doesn't seem that much of a pipedream after all. My chicken setup is absolutely woeful; two dog bowls on wooden logs that get poured daily. I need to upgrade that bit ASAP as well...

Well I got the flooring done on both levels and despite wanting to do a little more the daylight hours were running out and the neighbors around here are all bikies who get cranky easy. I love how Teddy and Louie jumped in the bottom deck to have a look around and check out my work. Also, I was...

So I decided just to give this its own thread. In a time, not so long ago, I managed to snag a freebie coop someone was giving away. It had solid pine construction and built up dirt and there was even some eggs in there. A second part was also snagged but I managed to attach a mesh floor and...
