The PVC pipe is suppose to be a feeder. It remains to be seen if it will work as planned.
The nests are 5 gallon buckets with a moon shape cut out of the bottom.
Two doors open at the back so you can reach in and get the eggs. I expect the hens to be so contented with this coop and with the macho rooster picture as the final touch that they will lay 2 eggs a day!
This is the final resting place for the coop under a tree.
The 55 gallon barrel is the water tank for the coop. The chickens will get water by water nipples.
There are things I would change in this design, but it turned out pretty decent I think. Further updates will be given as I gain a little experience.
Looks great!
