Same as before Kaz or do you want me to change anything?

 

I now have a new router with all the bits so the slides will be perfect. ^_^

I need some 19mm pine to make some square perches and some more hooks for the nest boxes.

Then this project is finished :D

I just want to say....I am using Daz's nestboxes for all my hens now. It is the first time I have ever had nestboxes where the hens dont throw out the wood shavings. Maybe because they are deep, maybe because the hens feel more secure and just modify their nests by shifting things about a little. BUT the nestboxes are the best I have ever used :wub:

 

Thanks Daz :budgiedance:

Thanks Kaz.The main Idea is to keep the chicks in the nest box longer. The Chicks are forced feed (protien) by the cock mostly at 4 weeks of age and it is this that I want to happen more of and longer.

 

If the boxes are deeper and bigger the Chicks will stay longer.

Daz great job and craftmenship, thanks for sharing with us your work.

Some enquiries on how I do my Breeding Cabinets. :(

  • 5 weeks later...

Wow Daz, these look great. Do you still make these? If you do i'd love to know how much it would cost me to get 2 triple cages as well as 3 doubles, complete with the different sized perches and those style next boxes.

just wanted to say welcome to the forum Jim, I see its your first post. I am pretty sure Daz still does them.

If so I'll be working the computer for the Scoreboard. Give me a yell. ^_^
