Hey! I didn't name it!

We built this bigger brooder in the barn to house my growing chickens and get them out of the house. It is made out of two cheapass laminate bookcases we were going to throw out and about $40 in lumber and brackets. Reuse, recycle, repurpose, etc.

A bit like watching the kids in the big playground...

Collecting nesting material.

The Intermediate Egret is a medium-sized (56-72 cm), white egret with a yellow bill, yellow iris and black legs and feet. The bare facial skin at the gape terminates below the eye, whereas in the similar but larger Great Egret, it extends slightly behind the eye.

The Intermediate Egret prefers mainly inland habitats with emergent aquatic vegetation such as pools, river margins, lakes, swamps, rice fields and fish ponds. It is found less often in coastal habitats. It feeds mainly on fish, frogs, insects and crustaceans, which it catches by quietly standing and watching, or by slowly walking. Although it nests colonially, it may be found feeding either alone or in small groups.
