Hi all, I promised that i would post some piccies of our chook shed for you to see, since you all helped out with the hints, design, process and picking the type of chooks we wanted. So from start to finish, you've been there! If you are interested, have a look at the Photo gallery under 'latest additions'! Cheers Lyn p.s I'm not great with computers, so i hope they downloaded ok, etc!
Well done - pics worked and chooks look happy! The blue chook house is better than the shack at our place. I want to come back as one of your chooks in my next life lol.
Thank god my chooks haven't learnt how to use the PC yet... if they saw those pics i think i would surely be disowned!! Look excellent, well done
Lyn, very cute chook house! I haven't raised chooks, so I'm assuming that little box on the back with the lid that lifts is where you can reach in and get eggs? Very clever! And with storage, too. Nice! And how did you get your chicken wire so nice and straight????? :lol:
Thanks for your comments guys! The praise is definitely an incentive to finish other jobs now!! I wish i could take all the ego Sweetpea, you are right! That is a little hatch where we can easily lift the lid and collect the eggs (good in theory, but there is one chook who seems to like laying her egg on the sawdust floor inside!), so every now and then i have to go indoors to collect - but is a good reminder to check their water while i'm in there!! The trick to keeping the chicken wire tight is just a matter of pulling the bottom length of wire (as seen in the picture taken inside the chook run) up to the length of chook wire hanging down the side. We use a screwdriver to hold it in place while we clip it together with a special little gadget we purchased from the Ag store (worth its weight in gold!!). Anyhow, you are more than welcome to come have a look for yourself if more information needed! Hee, hee! Well, back to the garden for me . . . Cheers Lyn
Hi Lyn ..... can you just run the trick with the chicken wire past me again ? I'm having a slow day today I think ..... Bernie
