This is a question Amazing Projects

We here at B3ta love it when a plan comes together. Tell us about incredible projects and stuff you've built by your own hand. Go on, gloat away.

Thanks to A Vagabond for the suggestion

Much cheaper than an eglu cube.
We've put two shelves in it as roosting space, harvested from a defunct mini greenhouse, and a couple of nesting boxes. The chickens climb through one of the windows. Can be cleaned with a pressure cleaner!

Edit: I'll take a snap or two and do a proper post.

I'd like to see it
My wooden henhouse is on its last legs and this sounds like a really good solution :)

Short of taking my own snaps (I might not get round to it before the question closes)
It's basically the same house in the photos on this page.

They've made a plywood door and let the chickens in at ground level. We made a ramp through one of the windows and raised the floor a bit, so we can reach in the door to collect eggs, without having to tread in all the chicken poo. I'll try to take a few snaps tomorrow morning though.

And these guys have done a much better job than we have.

Again, it's the same house, and you can find them on eBay for not-much. They'll flat-pack to transport too, but you'll need a big car or a van to collect it.
