Suburban Homesteading – Frugal Living

Starting off with chickens, but don’t want to spend the money to make nesting boxes? Not to worry.

Empty cat litter buckets make the perfect little home for hens who like the comfort and security of enclosed spaces. Just wash the bucket with warm soapy water before attaching to the coop wall. Be sure to save the lid as well. Cut and attach it to the bucket to keep in all the nesting material.

There you have it. Money saved. Hens happy. And, one less plastic going into the landfill.
