Started our new project last weekend. We have been attempting to use all materials we have on hand. We had a small garden shed we are attempting to convert. We realized in the heat it would be unbearably hot in summer, so we removed the rivets and took the back off and both the windows. Are going to replace all with chicken wire so can have air flow.
Went to the tip shop and spent $10 in total for a cot wire spring bottom, small roll chicken wire, and 2 lawn mower catchers and cat cage without a door ( for egg laying boxes).
Went to Bunnings Hardware and got 50 metres of chicken wire for $56 dollars. Already have 6 star pickets. Plan is to put 3 star pickets in row with pair opposite (6 in total). Then place poly pipe ( not bought yet) in loop over a pair of stakes and fix with cable ties (already got). Then drape over chicken wire and fix with cable ties. Build frame from wood that left over and in garage to make a door to enter coop ( doors already taken off shed). Will put pictures up on weekend! It will either work well or be a disaster. If money unlimited no issue, but this avoiding point of recycling and low cost we trying to strive for. Does anyone know where can get ex factory chickens from either free or cheap near Bundaberg?
