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!

Any electrical <> mechanical energy conversion device, keep it! I have a lot of motors and actuators ๐Ÿ˜…

If i had the space for it, I'd be picking up so many broken washing machines for their motors.
