We decided a few weeks ago that we would venture into the world of backyard chooks!!

after a bit of research, design work, and realisation that farming in well and truly in my DNA (grand parents have massive a farming property up in the wimmera region in rural vic) i have started my chicken coop.

here are some designs, and the first construction photos

I will be getting some 100x100mm hardwood posts soon (unless i can find some great looking aged posts that look the part)

also to make it look old and more 'farmy' i am using old fence palings in a weatherboard pattern, can't wait to start that next bit of the project as i have a massive pile of palings!!

We are getting 6 Isa Browns for egg production.

I have had farm eggs all my life from my grandparents farm but not as often anymore, so i thought i might as well start farming my own!!

Way to go Ice! We got 9 chicks about a month ago and I've almost finished up with our hen house. Made it almost totally from broken down pallets. Recycle, reduce, REUSE! Definitely gives you that rustic look.
