Look at these happy chooks in their upcycled chook house!! It’s amazing what a fresh lick of paint and a couple of accessories can do - a nesting box was built and added to the back, but it took a couple of goes to get it right. The first attempt was built with timber that was too heavy, but after some advice from the local Mitre10 store, the re-build was spot on. Parts of a wooden lattice was used to make the front door to make sure the chooks have enough ventilation.

A big feeling of satisfaction after finishing this project, even after a couple of bumps along the way, but choosing the sun yellow paint on their front door really finished it off ☀️ Doesn’t it just make you so happy???

**Not hardware related but found out that chooks need dry dirt to help keep them clean and healthy from parasites, called a dirt bath. Some dirt was added under the pen so it stays dry all year round.

Paint used was Dulux Gold Rush for the yellow door and Monument grey for the outer walls. ... See MoreSee Less
