Buiding the Haunted Hills Chicken Run

We tried to use as much of the materials we had lying about, all of the posts used for the skeleton were limbs from the MASSIVE gum tree that was pruned last year. We used some old wire that we found in the shed to clad the posts, an old cupboard for the laying boxes and old crate as a place for the chooks to chill out.

We did have to buy a few things though:
  • A large pallet of discarded timber from the Morwell tip (used to make the door and door frame) still got loads left over for other projects.
  • Some shade cloth;
  • Snake proof wire for the lower part of the run as we get a few snakes about the property in summer time;
  • and a few bags of cement for the posts.
All in all it's a great job ell done Sam and Gav.
