As long as you paint the wood, the treated lumber should be fine. Wow, what a deal. Awesome and I love the website! I wish I had some of your chicks. Autumnprairie has chickens and I stole some of her eggs. I love fresh eggs.

Well the boys and I ended up going to my friends last week and helping to take down his old pool deck. We got lots of 2X6 and 2X8 that are in excellent shape. We also got a lot of 3/4 by 6" boards that were used to make a privacy fence around the deck. Most of the decking boards are not in good enough shape to reuse, but we got a lot and that was only half of the deck. Here is our first project from the deck recycle. This is a goose nest box out in our large pasture for the Brown Chinese pair and the ducks if they want. I got the concept from the Holderread Website. They actually provided dimension of their goose nest boxes. Now if I could keep the chicken from kicking all of the straw out of it. It has a wire bottom so that moisture will not collect in it. Wire recycled also.

The plans this weekend are to build a milk stand based off of the plans from Fiasco Farm. She provided very detailed plans, awesome. She asks that you make a donation to their website if you use her plans, I think it is worth the donation.

Next will be to build another small chicken house out of some wood pallets and more of this recycled wood.

I LOVE the goose nest box. It is really nicely built. And the wire on the bottom is great.

Fias Co Farms has a lot of great things on it. I make a tiny donation once in a while because I have gotten so much good information from that website. When I can afford one, I'm going to get a microscope and start doing my own fecals. She has the BEST article on that.

Well - Today we built our milk stand. All of the lumber was from from my co-worker's deck that we took down. I purchased new, screws and the hook to hold it closed, about $6 todal. Everything else is recycled. Years ago, when we put rubber mats in the horse stalls, I kept the piece we had to cut to make it fit. I knew they would come in hand some day. So the top is covered with rubber mat. I used the plans from Fiasco Farms. They were very easy to follow.

Nina was not thrilled about getting up on it, but once she found her favorite pink bucket, she had no issues. In this photo, she is giving me her, really look. She did really well for the first time, I rubbed her down, checked her udder, etc. At first, she was not happy that she could not get her head out, but very quickly settled in.

Well she is just on Day 97, so we have another 1.5 months before there will be milk.
