Thread: Chicken Castle

He'll be running child care facility a week after the snakes eat the chooks.
Can get 8 kids sleeping in the coop and they can't run away when they play in the outdoor playgound.
Make Roi Hah Sip baht a day.

Just joking,
Its very nice, do you have to stock it with chooks and feed as well for him?

My favorite Gai Met, yum

Christos, for sure some other people would like to have one of these, but I think way to pricey for them. This one has about 15,000 baht worth of materials in it. (US$500). So I am pretty sure this will be a one off.

Hi Neil,

20 chooks is going to take a bit of feed but I guess you've worked it all out.

more likely that they let them run around to find their own food.
Just need to remember to lock em up at night.


I got 8 chooks as a kid, maybe 11 as well.
A fox got 1.
then the fox got another one.

Then xmas dinner the family had chook and our dog (standard poodle) decided he wanted chook as well and killed the other 6 in 1 go.
That was the end of my chooks.
That was the end of my egg business as well.

To tell you the truth Peter I don't know anything about the chickens. I just built the castle. (I am sure I will also be contributing to the feed fund as well though) Funny thing the locals all looking at it kept saying it is big enough for 30 or more chickens! Cram them in there I guess? I told them no way, start with 10 or 15 and see how it goes.

All I can say - Cluckingham Palace.

Made all by myself with mainly hand tools, used a drill to drive the screws for the screen, because I was not crazy enough to drive several hundred screws by hand. That cheap hand saw from the home center held up pretty well and went through a lot of board feet of lumber. Fun project and I am proud of it. The kid should have 20 or so chickens and maybe he can make 50 baht ($1.50) or so a day selling eggs. So he will be a happy 11 year old.

Bugger the chickens. Scale it up a bit and I'd be happy to call it home. Bloody nice work mate.

Great work Neil!!!
