Not sure where you would get it from but I did read that chickens love to peck that stuff which bungs them up....so make sure you put a lining between the foam and the chooks

Yes they do and will eat it so you will have to cover it over. Try this site below.But i would be looking around back of shopping centres .Large amounts polystyrene dumped in the big bins outside the units on industrial areas.Also the markets sometimes quite a few old poly Eskys. SORRY JUST TRIED LINK NOT WORKING .JUST PUT[ POLYSTYRENE WA ]INTO GOOGLE www.aussieweb.com.au/directory/directory.a

Hi Beck, I was thinking an appliance retailer like retravision or goodguys or Hardly Normals would have bulk foam from all the fridges and stoves etc. No harm in asking. Cheers, Wendy

Hi Beck, you will be able to buy it from Clark Rubber, but it will be quite pricey, there is a seafood wholesaler in the Mundaring industrial park on the way to Wooroloo, you could ask them as hey would use a lot of it for transport!

Hi Beck I just had a thought, you could try some of the pool supplies places, as the left overs from the pool covers would be a good insulator aswell, maybe even ask around for anyone that is soon to be replacing there pool cover if you can have the old one! Worth a try Cheers Brendon
