A year and a half later, the vines have made a cover and I coverd the coops roof with a tarp to extend it's coverage. The bird netting is to keep the bloody Cockatoos away from the passion-fruits.

Jen I bought in Gordonvale from a free-range poultry farm. She's the same age as Pepper (one and a half years). She's laid every day since the day we got her (about May).

I bought Jenny a New Hampshire Red from a small shed farm in Cairns. Despite the tip of her beak missing, she is a beautiful chicken with a tendency of finding escape routes. She managed to fly-up onto the lawnmower and over the fence.

The coop at the start of 2011. At the base of each metal peg we planted a passion-fruit vine which we were hoping would cover the top.

I had to clip Tracey and Pepper's wings so they couldn't jump over the gate but I allowed Tracey to stay on the fence.

Back in 2011, the coop was just put up and Pepper and the late Tracey (Rhode Isalnd Red who died of impacted crop) standing out in front. Pepper and Tracey were the left overs of my first batch(4) of chickens which I raised from two-weeks old. One died of a mysterious lump and the other was a rooster.

Three fluffy chicken bums. My mum works for DPI and she brings home fruitfly larve which is a great way to give my chickens heaps of protein. They run like made when I come out with their favourite food box.

I forgot to close the lid of the fertilizer bin and of course, the chickens were straight into it.
