Post subject:  Tour of my new Chook Pen
Since we moved from our last home and moved onto a bigger block we had to build another pen. It was very sad leaving the old pen behind so we decided to make another one, but this time we decided to make it a little bit bigger :-D

Tell me what you think...................

I will add some more photos of inside the hen house but I can only upload 5 at a time.

Cheers

Ah good one PP sidesplit.gif

Yes I know, he really is. [smilie=a_goodjobson.gif]

Thanks everyone for the praise. than657 Unfortunately I can't take any praise but I will pass it on to hubby as he is the true genius of design &construction here. :-D

I know we can go to bed every night knowing they are safe from any Foxy Loxy attacks or critters getting at their food, as hubby even dug & concreted a rat wall as part of the foundation.

Plus it's an absolute pleasure to clean out. I actually find it very therapeutic to clean the pen out every week.

Cheers
