Well done. Really like the law out you went with. The reuse of the old timber was a great touch. I'm sure you ground down the screw points that where stick all the way through the nest box.

I'm building a small chicken tractor myself. This one is for only two chickens!

Good luck and great job!

You could fit a sharp blade to the bottom of your chicken door and it could double as a guillotine for when they stop laying :lol:

We killed and processed 3 of our Australorp roosters today. We need to kill a bunch more chickens soon. Think we are over a 100 counting the young ones.
