Hi all, my name is Lee-Ann, I am learning about Permaculture and the
book i'm reading talks abopt chook domes. I have no idea what these are
or what they are used for. I have seen photos now so have a slightly
better idea of what they look like, but what are they used for? I hope
this is not to beginnerish a question, and look forward to your
replies.

Regards,

Lee-Ann

Hi everyone,

Would anyone have any suggestions on building a chook dome? I have
Linda
Woodrow's book "Permaculture Home Garden" which outlines using one in
a
mandala garden, however I have since read (from other sources) that
the
design is not stable enough in high winds and doesn't offer enough
protection in the weather for the chooks. Also, PVC piping apparently
is
not a great choice of material as it breaks down quickly? (Damm, I
was
going to use it to create makeshift gazebo's etc!)

Someone has suggested using a yurt design or teepee - however the
structure
needs to be moved every fortnight.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Tracey
