I'm crushed. I thought I had a great coop setup. Now I've got to break it to my wife were improving the coop. Again!

I absolutely love this layout....it is fantastic and very versatile. But by far the best part is when going through detailing everything so precisely she say "Also they will be shitting in the beds....." 😂🤣😂

This gives me so many ideas! Thank you for sharing this with us. I like the large wire panels you’ve hung in place of hardware cloth in the large spaces and the way you are protecting most of the young trees, shrubs. It looks very sturdy and efficient. Lots of shade and light for the girls, protection from hawks, and smart ways you can block off areas…just perfect. Espalier training of your fruit trees was a great idea. Happy to hear you rescue chicks too.

I had the idea of fencing in an orchard and letting chickens in to wander around and do their thing. But this plan is EXPONENTIALLY better!! Love, love, LOVE this!

This is absolutely the coolest outdoor enclosure I've ever seen on KZread. It is exactly what I want to build for my cats. It's just perfect.

This is absolutely genius! Hubby and I just purchased land ( 2 weeks til settlement 🎉). Going from suburbia to rural nsw acreage, where we have kangaroos rabbits wombats and possibly goannas ! I’ve been stressing about keeping my girls and food safe! So glad I found you!!!!

This is the best set up I have ever seen . makes so much sense . Well done ! Thanks for sharing.

Wow, amazing set up and tour! We’ve recently bought a house with a chicken palace (no where near as big as chicken city) and we’re thinking of putting some dwarf fruit trees and berries in for shade and interest. This has spurred me on that is the right way to go. Now in rethinking our veggie garden set up 🤣 Look forward to watching your back catalogue of videos and checking out the podcast.

We are preparing to build a similar space. I wonder now that you've been using this system for awhile - if you were to do it again, would you change anything and if so, what would that be? Thanks for sharing your beautiful space.

@alycealexandra

Жыл бұрын

great question! and one I get asked a lot. If I could change anything, I would put the berry room in the position that gets the least winter sun, and put the second veggie room in it's place. I didn't give the winter sun enough consideration, especially as the berry canes are completely dormant over winter! Other than that, nothing to change... I spent years designing and refining it before I built, and I think it paid dividends :) good luck with yours!! xx

One of the most of organized and articulated garden & coop I've ever seen. Mad respect!

Wonderful to see how you did this. The chickens are wonderful helping with weeding.

This is wonderful! I'm looking for a house in the country, and have been thinking about doing something like this, except the rooms (and a corridor). In each room the chickens would spend a year, followed by heavy feeding annual crops for a year, followed by less hungry annual cross the next year, until the chickens returned to feed the soil.

Wow...that is glorious. What a haven!

Inspirational! Thanks for the tour.

Such an inspiration video, i’m looking at doing similar (smaller scale due to space) so this video was so detailed and love the experience you have. I do have a question, what solar panel are you using and is it hooked up to a battery ? I’m looking at using chicken roof space for solar panels to run back to the house to charge phone and ipad from 👍 xx

yep its hooked up to a battery! i honestly have no idea what it is as i put it in so many years ago. its not perfect but its done a pretty good job! havent ever used it for running anything other than the watering system, so dont know how much power its really got! sorry i cant be more helpful on that topic. thrilled that you got inspiration and advice from the video - that makes me so happy!! thanks for letting me know, and good luck with your own set up :) xx

Would it be possible to see a clip of your garden before the chickens get in. Then, a few pictures of what it looks like after the chickens have finished taking the vegetation down. Thanks

great set up. In annual garden nu 2 you have sweet peas and rhubarb. Is there a problem with these plants being poisonous for chickens and how do you deal with this? Thank you

Would you put Guinea fowls in the annual garden?

Im curious if the chickens scratch and damage roots of berries?

Can you explain a little about the building of this marvel? What size are these rooms? What material are used etc…

So do you keep your nightshade plants in a separate area ? Or do chickens know not to eat them ? This is great idea and just what I am trying to formulate

I am going to wish this into existence for myself! Could I ask approx how much it cost to build?

@alycealexandra

Жыл бұрын

dream big! Honestly I wouldn't know now, it was 9 years ago. But obviously the more you can do yourself the cheaper it would be :)

So, it is alright to plant immediately after the chickens are done fertilizing? I am working on a similar setup, but I thought I would need to let the manure age a few months or something. Just a wonderful garden you've made.

@alycealexandra

Жыл бұрын

I've never worried about it and never had a problem! the majority of fertiliser goes on the garden beds in the form of the chicken bedding (poo + straw) so this has already had a bit of aging "in situ" if that makes sense. Thank you for your kind words! I love it :)

it was a thinner wine that was rolled up, and we unrolled it accorss the top and nailed it into the frame using u nails... then got little bits of wire and used them to attach the long 'sheets' of wire together... does that make sense? its pretty flimsy wire on the top, not like the of the enclosure!
