The best chook systems don’t just house chickens. They become part of the garden.Beautiful work from Casey and Luke on this Wonga Park install, featuring a large chook house, straw yard and day run carefully wrapped around a beautiful old mulberry tree.The chook house gives the flock a dry, secure and comfortable place for roosting and laying. The straw yard creates a fox-resistant everyday space for scratching, dust bathing and turning garden scraps into future compost. The day run extends their access into the garden, giving them more room to forage while helping manage weeds, pests and fallen fruit.Designed well, a chook system can turn separate parts of the backyard into one integrated system: shade, shelter, scratching, foraging, fertility and easy daily care all working together.Built from untreated cypress, with quality mesh and hardware, our systems are made to last and can be custom designed to suit the space, the people and the chooks.Thinking about a proper chook setup for your backyard, school, community garden or larger property? Get in touch through our website and we can help plan a system that fits your garden. www.VeryEdibleGardens.com.au#VeryEdibleGardens #ChookHouse #BackyardChickens #ChickenCoop #StrawYard #DayRun #EdibleGarden #MelbourneGardens #PermacultureDesign #BackyardChooks #FoxProofChickenCoop
