Hen's On Holiday Update. My Polka Dot Caravan.

Greetings all, A quick fly by today as I wanted to update you on our "Hen's On Holiday" Caravan. We've been working madly away completing our dream hen house as our chooks are arriving in two weeks ! A lot more to go but here is a taste. I will do a full show and tell in a fortnight...can't wait !!


What's a coastal hen house without surfboards ?  " Hang Six" ; ) Thanks to my friends at DSC Surf Shop for providing some used up old boards for my girls. I might add that the boards they sell are brand new and super awesome !!
 I spent what seemed like an eternity holding up chicken wire and passing "C" clips to Mr Picket Fence to make this enclosure...worth it ? Yes :) Climbing roses have been planted to grace same.
The Liquid Amber is about fifty years old. It's huge, beautiful and will provide great shade from the Australian sun. We will be putting in a duck bath in the shade of this tree.
Under this awning will be the feed bins.
Yes , my clever chooks can read ;) The Picket Fence kids put this sign here.
 Taylor the Wonder Dog wishing he could live in there too... ( That's him licking his nose ! Never one to miss a photo opportunity)
 This is the bunting that's going up around the yard.....unneccesary but gorgeousxx
These aren't my girls but they are good photos to show what we are getting .. Isa Browns and a couple of Indian Runner Ducks. Two Weeks Friends !! Excited Much :)
Would love your input...comments welcome :)

Linking up with Sarah's Good-Life-Wednesday

    Can't wait to see the chickens/hens.I have been reading through your blog.I think you have worked wonders with the dresser.it looks great.Very impressed with your veggie patch.We have a little raised bed but it is amazing what you can grow in a small area and the satisfaction of going picking your own produce is wonderful

    You will have some very lucky feathered friends!

    Can't wait to see them in their new home and hope that they make good use of the exit sign...

    Those are cool pictures. My son would enjoy those surf boards. I can't believe how expensive they are - even the used ones. I have always loved polka dot.

    I think it's wonderful I wish I could have some hens and would love some ducks for sure..I love ducks..my grandma had ducks up North and I remember they used to follow us around the yard in back and we always had to make sure they weren't following us out the swingin gate..
