Step 1: First we built laying boxes...




Photobucket
This is Patrick having homeschool 'woodworking' class. He is working with a drill, building chicken coop laying boxes for our hens!


The base of our laying boxes is a frame which is about 24" tall. It runs the length and width of the completed laying boxes, but allows the chickens to have more floor space, a roost area underneath and warmer air rises; so the higher in the coop they are, the warmer they will be in the winter... we hope.
