Thanks to Isa Menzies for this detailed account of her Journey to CHOOKTOPIA.

"After moving to a quarter-acre block in Canberra's Ainslie, I decided it was time to realise my dream of having chooks. It took a few months to convince my partner that he shared my vision, but eventually he got on board, and Chooktopia represents the fruits of our (but mostly his!) labours, taking 4 months of off-and-on weekend work. Thank you Clinton you are a star!

Recycled corrugated iron sheets are dug in to around 40cm, to prevent foxes from digging underneath. They are then affixed to star pickets.

The basic frame (including laying box, LHS) is constructed from recycled timber and corrugated iron pieces. These were left over from a shed that was on the block when we bought it, and which Clinton dismantled.
