Thanks guys, happy with it so far, though the girls are still getting used to the auto door.... I went to the movies last night and only my clever mother hen and her 5 chicks had gone to bed in time. I had to catch the rest and put them inside when I got home. At the moment, I have 3 Australorps, a light sussex, 6 leghorns (5 are 3wo chicks), a Standard Salmon Faverolle hen, 5 Marans chicks (looking like only 2 pullets) and 2 Araucanas - but I suspect both are cockerals. 2 of the Marans boys have crooked toes, but I want to grow them out a bit before I cull. I'm planning to sell excess quality birds at our Club show. |

Love the Palace. Where did you buy the rollaway nest boxes from? |

Well done That is a fantastic set up. Hubby-D is going to build me another pen this year so I can split my breeds up and I think I can learn a lot from your set up Blak. Will have to get you to list your suppliers for your nesting boxes & solar panel. Very cool Cheers Chicka-Dee |

The rollaway nestboxes came from Bellsouth, and the solar-powered auto-door is a "Hensafe" door from Wagner's in Vic. Hensafe door is just brilliant. Rollaways not so much. Great idea, but IMO poorly executed design for the price. Also, they may be good in winter, but seriously consider where the boxes will located. Even popped on the western side, where the tree shades the house, when I went in this arvo, the boxes were pretty hot. Then again, it was over 40 degrees in the house (it was 38 here today - my car said it was 45), so maybe I just need to keep an eye on things in high summer. Apart from the nestboxes, I'm really happy with everything. I just need a bale of rice hulls to mix in with the sawdust. Hubby certainly did a good job for me |
