Chook Pen Setup Checklist Pack

Chook Pen Setup Checklist Pack

Set up a backyard chook pen that keeps the flock safe, fed and laying. This 10-page printable pack gives you tick-box checklists for space, fox-proofing, feed and water, a daily and weekly routine, and quick fixes when things go wrong. Clear line sketches throughout show each idea at a glance.

Inside:

- Before you start: the rules to check, and the parts of a chook set-up

- Checklist 1: space and layout, with your own figures for coop, run, perches and nest boxes

- Checklist 2: a fox-proof pen, with a walk-around check

- Checklist 3: feed and water, with a feed plan

- A daily and weekly routine to tick off, and seasonal reminders

- When things go wrong: not laying, pecking, poor eggs, and something getting in

- A worked example for six hens: space, feed and egg cost per dozen

- A flock record, a monthly egg tally and the free calculators to use

Written for first-time and backyard chook keepers who want a pen that works from day one.
