Dear readers,
We've been living in the Netherlands for about 8 months now, and we're keeping chickens.
6 to be precise.
Although they lay eggs on a regular basis, it just isn't enough to meet our demands. We have friends, family and neighbours who also love our freshly laid eggs. That's why I decided to add another henhouse. After browsing through multiple suppliers I thought to myself hmmm... It's not the cheapest thing around that can be purchased!
So what did I do? I began to think about the possibility to build one myself.
For the next two weeks I drove around and collected excess wood and pallets that companies, people like you and me, were about to throw away.
I collected Europallets (!), bogus pallets & MDF planks.
Then I decided to actually start making one, of which I am in the process of doing. After about 1,5 hours of work it kinda looks like this.
Notice that it's a work in progress. It will be able to house approx. 16-20 chickens I believe.
