mini chicken house


a few weeks ago, we ended up with chickens from v's kinder. 7 chickie babes which I suspect one is a rooster. They have settled in pretty well and the kids were a little too interested in them to start, but they have calmed down now, hehehe.

we put together this mini house for them, using a steel a-frame I got off freecycle, and chicken wire. a few support poles taken from the kids old playpen and  their old playhouse turned upside down to use the tarp floor and walah! we have a starter chicken house. the chikens seem to like it, but they have only been out in it for a day, they came back in at night as it was cold and started to rain, and well they are only 3 weeks old now, so better to have them inside at night.
