i really think you should be able to put together a good chicken set up for
far less than $700!!! we have 16 chooks atm, 3 chook houses which i made,
and a great deal of fencing & it can't have cost more than $200 (which is a
generous guess indeed).

I want to do something other than pokie small. We have two sheds,which I
want to fit it between with a central hutch so I can control access to
either sides.

It also has to be strong enough to withstand the occassional small gum
limb. so the price was based on having to buy 2" pipe and mesh.
