A feature of most Australian back yards is the "chook pen", "Wattle Creek" is no exception. Half a dozen pampered girls (chickens/chooks/hens) live in the fox/ferret proof pen - they are ex-battery hens and must think they live in "Chook Heaven"
(watch for further posts as to where "Chook Heaven"really is). Note the shade cloth towards the back - it gets very hot in summer and the girls need to be protected from the heat.
Every good chook pen has a chook shed - the girls at Wattle Creek have a very interesting home.
It's an old tank with the front of an old wood stove joined onto the back.
And to get the eggs - you just open the oven door!
No eggs today!
