Experience is the greatest thing when coming to building things. Last year when we made chicken coops, we planned our ideas based on American standards and way of life. Last year’s chicken coops were like 5 star hotels for a chicken. A little overkill for chickens. This year, we’re using 10cm plywood instead of 15cm. and creating 2 story living space for the chickens. Here are some pictures of the area that chickens will be laying their eggs.
After the Khaodee kids come home from school. They are so eager to help out. Without saying anything, 4 of the MS/HS boys come over to where I was working and picked up some tools and asked me what to do. Here’s a video of 14 year old Pongsatuorn (nickname Yaelum) helping me drill a hole through cement so that we could anchor 2x3 wood to support the 2nd story chicken coop.

Most of all the chicken farms in Thailand are not free-range chicken farms. They are all caged in a 12”x6” cage where only their heads are able to stick out and eat food. They can only poop and lay their eggs where they stand. It was a quite sad seeing these chickens like that. At Khaodee, as you can see from the last blog video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?
