Fox-proofing the chicken shed.

We made some nesting boxes for the chooks so we don't have to go into the shed everyday to collect the eggs.

Making an entrance for the chooks.

Symmetry is a beautiful thing ... & sometimes difficult to obtain. :)

The roost.

All ready for the chooks.

Hopefully the chooks can read ...

Moving day!

Our 5 new chooks, straight out of the box & checking out the fine view.

Gazing to grazing. After about 9 & a half seconds of view-gazing, it was time to get to work - mowing the grass!

Our chooks are 10 week-old ISA Brown - a cross between Rhode Island Red & Rhode Island White. They're good egg-layers. They should start laying in about 6 weeks.

We've decided to name our chooks after the wives & mistresses of Henry VIII! We had to include mistresses cos he married 3 Catherines & a couple of Annes!
So our chooks are: Catherine, Anne, Jane, Mary, & Elizabeth.

Of course, we're having a little difficulty telling them apart.
