    Aussie Coop Risen.. Completed with Pix.

    The great Coop and Run mating of 2011 is now complete. What a heck of a job that was, not made any easier by the windy and horrible conditions here today. Winds of up to 100km/hr, feeling like they were coming straight from the Antarctic! These first two are before we squared it up and bolted...

    And here is a photographic story of Chicken day.. First the coop being moved outside for the first time.. Second, the new sand Chicken Zen garden (might need a finer and more appropriate rake) The star of the show - at least to me! She has a huge personality. Chookens on their way to...

    On Chicken Eve, I went to the poultry shed where the auction was being held to check out the birds and get to know a bit more about chickens, thanks to the awesome local poultry group who I was lucky enough to get to know by posting on an Aussie chicken forum. I got to hold a chicken for the...

    It has been a while, and a lot of work has been done. Chickens are installed into their coop! Here are some pics of the process - these are from a few days ago The roost you see in this pic below has been flipped onto its side as we found out it was too narrow. The lino has actually been...

    Aussie Coop Risen.. Completed with Pix.

    Totally exhausted! Today was the last day of the other half's holidays from work, so we decided we had to work on the coop all day and get as much of it done as we can so that I can paint in his absence. Today we started with the basic frame that we had built and the plan was to clad it in...

    Here are some pics of the water drainage issue we have. In the last couple of days we've had about 35mm of rain, which for us is not a huge amount of rain. In some places it is up to 2 inches deep. So yeah, it isn't something we can fix short term but it certainly is on the to do list for...

    Aussie Coop Risen.. Completed with Pix.

    The floor of both areas is going to be painted plywood with laminate over the top of that. I'm looking at using sand on top of that at this stage seeing as I am reading a lot of good reports about it. We went to Bunnings today and bought all the plywood and I already have two floor panels...

    We have a major drainage issue in our backyard, so both the coop and the run have to be up off the ground. I took some pics of the drainage issue yesterday but haven't got them up on the computer yet. In spring/summer we have an area down the side of the house that we would like to turn into a...

    Does anyone have poop boards in a very small coop?

    I love the color of your coop. If the other half didn't want to blend ours in to the environment it would be the exact color I would choose.

    Building our Urban Garden Coop!

    I'd already added your blog to my reader a few days ago. I'm doing a little bit of blogging about the building of our coop on my blog, I'll put a link to it in my signature soon. I love the roofing you have used, that is something we're investigating at the moment and I am leaning towards...
