The million dollar question I guess but as a novice 'mother hen' is it better to build your own or buy a flat packed chook house? I have a chook tractor that my girls are in at the moment and will be happy too stay in for the coming weeks as they are only babies, but I would like to build them something that is more permanent and cozy. Also I want to get a few more chooks and was imagining in my mind a kind of double house. Sort of having a house with a run on one side and exactly the same in the other direction on the other. Is this just crazy?

I recommend build your own as you can build it to any size you want to fit an area and you can expand it as you need to and believe me once you have the chook addiction bug you will expand it

Very good point. I have that bug in a serious way. And I think that I should be able to build something exatctly to the needs of the chhoks and the growing family. I just have seen some pretty neat looking ones on line and felt tempted to buy a flat pack. But definitely we will be expanding...

Thanks!! th_clap.gif

Build your own, it's good fun and you will be happy that what you have made meets the chooks needs perfectly. I designed ours then we made a real project of it. We got the whole family involved and took photos step by step. I made a special album with the photos in and my daughter took it to show and tell at school one day and apparently the other kids were fascinated.

Sounds like the best idea. Have already found a design on line that I think I could modify to suit. The show and tell thing is definitely something my daughter would enjoy... :)

Well cause I have been inspired by all on this site so much, I have bought my first bits of timber to begin. Some scraps for ten bucks. I have no idea how they will be useful but at least I can say I am 'starting to build'...
