It would take me a month just to gather the building scraps! Great job!! We took the plunge and bought 2 baby turkeys, and 22 baby guineas a few weeks ago. We are so clueless. No idea if we're doing it right or not, but every morning when I go check on them, they still look healthy... But those turkeys intimidate me! They glare at me as if to say, "I know you want to eat me, you sick-o." Perhaps I shouldn't have named them Thanksgiving and Christmas? :) Just whipped ‘em up, eh??

I was going to tune in to see what colour you'd paint them later. :] *snap*

We have chickens who roost on our tent roof, which is very sloped, until we knock them off and they go aflying in every direction. If you give them enough roost space, then they will prefer that over a flat sloped spot.

Great boxes, I love the idea of additional roosts in front! I'm super impressed that you made them yourself. I always cry "girl" when it comes to these kinds of projects.
