DDU / klarry

DDU can I ask you about your chooks? You do have chooks don't you?
Roughly what sort of cage do you have i.e. wooden? How many chooks & what/how much do you feed them? I searched chook houses on ebay, do you suggest a good one?


Klarry what is needed to fox proof a chook house? We were thinking wire underneath and perhaps sleepers too? Are snakes & rats a problem?


Any information would be good ๐Ÿ™‚

Re: DDU / klarry

I nearly didn't see the yellow one! Too cute

Yeah thanks, it's a bit flimsy, hope it doesn't blow away before we can stake it down! It's on the most protected side of the house. Also the laying shelf is not very wide so not sure what to do there?

Get a couple of wooden layer boxes and screw them on there ๐Ÿ™‚

Also, if you get some wooden fruit crates you can nail them together and make laying boxes for the ground.
