Test Nest Project - Vermont

by Heritage Hens , Vermont, Wednesday, March 10, 2010, 13:16 @ geoffrey

Great, I understand. I think it was last fall that I posted my plans to re-create an outdoor environment indoors, using shrubbery, hay,branches,leaves, etc. This is to give them something to think about BEFORE they are free ranging.
There is too much snow still on the ground to let them out. Mine have not started laying yet.
I like the idea of sharing ideas for outdoor cammo nests. I'm going to keep my eyes open for rustic old wine barrels or nail kegs, too, that could be placed on their sides and then covered with natural materials.
I hope you can post pictures soon, Geoffrey.
