Just scrolling through random photos. Old hi-bay light reflector, a cheap metal screw auger, some old pipe and a random drill I had. ESP controlled with some customised firmware. Silly chickens also have an automated door, heater, light... hooked into home assistant.

They're not even my chickens, they just rocked up one day and started trying to sleep on my hot water cylinder... nekkminnit I've been tricked into building them a house!

Here's an early test, the print is a bit crappy because I was trying to use up old filament.
