The Funky Chicken Farm

Part 1 - Breaking Ground

Darcy Philp visits my house and inspected the proposed site for the Funky Chicken Farm.

I spent a weekend armed with a machete and saw clearing bush and shrubs from around the play house (aka the new chicken coop).

Welcome to our Funky Chicken Farm resource page.

We set up a backyard chicken coop and leisure area by converting an old playhouse into a coop, whacked a few warratahs around, attached some chicken wire and bought 6 highlay birds from a battery chicken farm. It's our way of fighting back against rising food costs.
