About Us
"Parker" would like to thank you for your visit to our chicken/garden complex.
This is Arlene's first chicken/garden complex design. The salient features of her design:
- Four foot wide chicken run around the thirty two foot outside perimeter.
- Four feet of 1/4" snake mesh overlapped with eight feet of welded coated wire fencing.
- Twenty four inch blue stone tiles surround the complex preventing predators from tunnelling into the chicken run.
- Double six foot fence prohibits entry from zealous marauding deer.
- Double four foot wide doors allow secure garden entry from the east and west sides of the complex.

Don't be fooled...
Entering our kitchen you may find intriguing bags of various grains. Don't be alarmed at the prospect of being thrust into a heavy grain diet. More likely, the chickens are going to be thrust into a new dietary regimen.
