Feathers Lodge

Everything in our home has a name.  Our house is called Taihape (Maouri for where two rivers meet), our shed is called Terrence 2, our lawnmower Padraic and our car is Little Betsy.  It seemed only right therefore that after rennovating the chooks residence we gave it an official title and Feathers Lodge seemed appropriate.

The Kiwi slogged away at it for over a week putting a concrete base in to make it rat proof.  I touched up the paintwork and then we both spread out the bags of chippings to finish it off.
The photos here show their bedroom complete with perch, poop deck, steps and nesting boxes.




Then you can see Helen munching away outside their bedroom and finally the last two shots show their Conservatory where their Play House is, their Perch and their Sun Terrace with a trough underneath to sleep in.

Yet still they love to be in the garden! 

More antics tomorrow about their new "food toy" and what I've decided to do about Polly .........................
