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.![]()
