I got a new incubator for 50-odd eggs... so raising the chicks in the back room is no longer an option, I mean, chicks are lovely, but not in the house!
So, I talked to hubby & told him that I needed something in the chook house for the new chicks & it needed a heat light above......
Then I got to thinking that I also needed a couple of broody boxes for any of the chooks that feel the need later in the year.... I made one last year & it works very well, but takes up quite a lot of room & is now in our hayshed - ready to be used as a quarantine/solitary/broody box & small run.....
Next thing was the fact that I have increased our stock & therefore more nest boxes were needed... lawd above, I'd need a HUGE chick house to get all that lot in there!!
So, I pondered for a few days, bought a couple of sheets of heavy ply & realised that everything else was laying around in the derelict & various toolboxes.....
And made this...... and I am VERY proud of myself too!! Even hubby was impressed - and not once has he said 'you should maybe have done it this way'.....
then acustom built dog bed/platform thingy.... and after that I shall crack on with some rabbit hutches - see, now I know I 'can', I will!! 
(thanks)
