cheers mate

I'm addicted to DIY... i have three fishtanks in the shed (i designed and built the shed) breeding guppies and an aquaponics system that i'll be expanding very soon to over four times the size.

Thanks!!

cheers, where the coop is located is under trees with fairly dense foliage. Also we do cover the nesting boxes its just not in the video or photos. we leave the door to the run open all the time and the way the roof is constructed allows for ventilation as well. Being in Australia (Melbourne)...

we've been flying through the eggs... 4-5 eggs a day including some big double yolkers!! here is a video...FINALLY!!!!!!!

Glad to be of assistance

Domestic cats would be our 'common' predators around here with the slight chance of foxes and thats it. I'm more worried about the mice getting in and making a mess to be honest. I'm keeping a close eye on things to see if anything is scratching around the outside, the chooks are doing a great...

Thanks All Don't worry, i cut the screw ends off the lid. i made a chook house not a torture chamber

I'm hoping to get a video of the setup done this weekend. the girls have awesome personalities and respond really well to us and are always up for a chat!!

The same day we picked them up we had our first egg. As they are still young it now varies from one to three per day, we have also had a nice big double yolker.

checking out the new digs!! and yes they love maggots!!! (i farm my own, my system produces hundreds per week)

and the great escape!! first three girls in!! and the next three

the chook diner... the water system is temporary as i will have a self feeding system setup soon and from the other side the chooks house prior to the chooks... and from the other end

The Chook Mahal is finished enough to house the chooks... The nesting box is nice and comfy Plenty of comfy bedding to cover the coop floor that will become a nice addition to compost bin soon. The nesting boxes with the lid open Roost (i'll install another one this coming weekend)...

Went over to the Riddells Creek Farmers Market and picked up some local chooks. These came from the Emu Farm in Gisborne and had started laying over the past couple of days. The new girls are 22 weeks old and are already settled in!! All ready to head home!!

We have some wire!! My little Chicken I still need to wrap the top layer around, tighted all the wire, wire the door and two panels under the coop.

Here is some progress... i know its taking a while but i've had limited time and funds to get things going. The frame for the run is up!!

starting to apply the chicken wire too and even got some outdoor roosts made, the stump and branches, was a tree that was pulled down in order to make room for the run! And i had to take a photo of the chicken wire... so, who uses chicken wire in their fish tanks?

I am getting there bit by bit!! the run has been set out, need to get some more timber to finish it off.

Got a bit more done... finally!!! The floor, roost, roof and ladder are all in/on... just need to find some funds to get the timber for the run, and true to form that will be over engineered...lol Inside and roost The Floor Ladder
