Barrel coop Design First pilot design 2011.

This is a Permaculture diploma design of a chicken coop made from waste material. Yet it's meant to be funky and attractive not just utilitarian. This chicken coop is made from a recycled plastic barrel, timber slats and recycled woodchip. This is a video tour of the coop. It is designed as the coop for a waste transformation business called "Gypsy hens". The business will rent people a fully operational coop and hens for £3 a week, short term or long term. The coop design is free to anyone to use for their personal use under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported License.

Chicken update.. Liming the pen for odours & pests..

Published on 30 Mar 2014
Had a bit of rain over the past few days so thought I would share a tip on using lime to keep the odours down when the chicken pen gets a drenching..
Lime also doubles as a lice & mite treatment as well which is a bit of a bonus.. Watched a great clip by Blake Kirby on how he used wood ash to control biting pests in his chicken run.. Something we don't do here yet but think we will give it a crack this winter..
You can fine Blake's "Why have a fire in the Chicken Run" clip here,

At Best Nest Box, our hens are in the greenhouse in the winter. See how we keep a cleaner chicken coop by collecting manure under the night time roost bars.
