My chooks shed (we did it pink!)

Recommended Posts

Hi all, i'm rediculously chuffed with the shed me and mum have spent the last few days kitting out - we've worked really hard in it and thought we'd share pics - it took alot of planning but the girls seem to love it already!

 

Without bedding in it.... it's got those sticky floor tiles on the shelves, for ease of wiping and the ladders are moveable/removeable - the poles are for support

With bedding (and betsy!) on the shelves. the shelves are deeper than they look - we're also hoping to knock together some wooden nest boxes to put in there as a more permanent feature rather than the cardboard boxes lol - card is over the window to stop the light getting in for the time being until i paint it black - they'll have a fit if they know its light at 5am lol

The boxes are the nestboxes for now, yes, there's been a few more added since i took the pic. Though to be honest the bottom and middle sections stay dark-ish and are quite enclosed, so for now at least i'm sure they'll be fine :) a couple of the girls laid on the shelf after i'd put it up earlier (in favour of the boxes they're used to). They do have one wooden nestbox in the bottom corner under the longer ladder reaching to the top shelf, and dolly the bantam has taken a liking to that one :)

 

I had planned on putting roosting bars in there for them too, but when i went to check on them tonight they were all very happily roosting on the lip of the shelves. I had been looking about the place for something to use for them for tonight but they sorted themselves out in the end anyway lol. I'll sort something out for them, it shouldn't take long to knock something together should they need anything else :)

oooooooh I'm so jealous of that house.

we want to do something in our shed a bit similar. do you mind telling us the dimensions, type of wood, cost and where you got it all from. also, have the sticky tiles been very effective?

 

sorry about all the questions but we are short on time on getting ready for our chooks.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Lydia
