Our beloved chooks got killed by a fox in August 2009 and we endeavoured to re-develop and extend the pen, and build a very high and very secure fence, with wire half a metre deep in the ground to prevent foxes or dogs digging under it.
The pen will later be divided in two sections: one for the chickens and one for crops. When the chooks have cleaned up , and fertilised, one section, they will be moved to the other one where they will enjoy a fresh crop of plants, herbs and weeds specially sown for them.
