Its been a hard slog so far! Let me show you the area I am dealing with when I started...

The area next to the shed was no problem at all, but we had a pond to remove and relandscape what will be the run. Thats where OH comes in, he does the digging! The pond was removed and we have tried to make it interesting in the run...

Always the optamist I put grass seed in! You never know!

OK yea you guessed right it is an old bed ... I think it will do the job though, the arc of the bed makes a great roof!

Ok I know this has been a long time coming but life has a nasty habit of getting in the way.

I have added a link to my album so you can view all the pictures rather than me loading them all to here.

Any comments methods to improve would be greatly appreciated, hope you like it.

Looking great Georgee....the only way to find out what the probs are (if any) is to put the chooks in there ....you'll find out soon enough!
