Avian Aqua Miser: Automatic, poop-free chicken waterers

Seeking chicken coop and tractor photos

Weekend Homesteader: NovemberI recently learned that my Weekend Homesteader series will be published as a full color paperback in fall 2012!  I'm hoping you all can help spice up the chicken section with photos of your coops and tractors.

As an added incentive (beyond seeing your name in print), if I choose to use your photo, I'll send you a free 3 pack DIY kit with drill bit.  Then you can make a spare bucket waterer for your broody hen or to make sure your flock has plenty to drink during that holiday trip.

My book is all about easy and fun projects that a homesteader wannabe can slip into a weekend off, so the simpler your coop or tractor design is, the better.  On the other hand, I'm sure that some of my readers would love to spread their building wings, so don't hold back if you've build a chicken Taj Mahal.

Weekend Homesteader: OctoberIf you have time, feel free to include a brief description of how and why you built your chicken tractor or coop.  Then email your photos (one per email please) with the legalese at the end of this post to anna@kitenet.net.

Please include this text in your email to cover my publisher's butt:


This email shall constitute an agreement between you and Anna Hess for non-exclusive use of your photo and text in the book tentatively titled Weekend Homesteader.  Skyhorse Publishing will publish this book in 2012. You agree that you shall receive no compensation for your contribution.


I'm looking forward to seeing some ingenious designs!
