Great use of the outdoor dunny! Lucky, chooks!

I totally agree about getting out into the fresh air with your chooks, they are perfect pets for children and they are great therapy for all.

yeah sorry about that. but to give you an idea - the run is about 20 meters long, with about 5 meters under shade, & it is about 7 meters wide...my girls are having a ball exploring it all

thanks guys, it was a part of they yard that never got used & the out door toilet was something that i wanted to rip down, as it never got used, but i wasn't allowed, so i decided to use it for some chickens....it is warm, doesn't leak, has a door to keep out the wind, all i had to do to it was put in a roost & a nesting box & cover the ground with straw, for the run i got some old tin from the recycle place & some wire with some post......the whole thing cost around $400 that included feed, chickens, straw, food/water bowls, plants, mite/wormer stuff, tin & wire....so i thought that was a pretty good amount to spend, i was lucky in only had to build one fence....

my girls are 16 weeks tomorrow & will start to switch them over to layer pellets, doing it slowly over two weeks, so as to not upset their tummies

thanks again guys

Money well invested! Good idea going to the recycle yard. Hope that your returns are bountiful and that you have an abundance of eggs...
