We started off with a run and coop from eBay without a nesting box, and the OH kindly knocked one together for me from a few bits of old bed and spare cladding

Image

The run is a bit small, but we're both off work this week and so have been letting them out to 'enjoy' (read: ruin) the garden. On Saturday, we'll be getting a pile of chicken wire that's been stripped off my parents thatch and we'll be extending their run.

They don't seem to be too unhappy at the moment though )eat(

If you lend someone £20 and never see them again, it was probably £20 well spent...

This one came as a flat pack ... I couldn't build it from scratch, my DIY skills are very limited. BUT there were no pre-drilled holes :shock: so I had to do it myself - good job I have a drill. But my very inexpensive drill just isn't up to the job of drilling through the handles, so I'm stuck until someone can come and give me a hand.

The instructions were almost non-existent, the fixings and fittings didn't match the enclosed list ... and the roof board is split along almost half it's length - so I'm having to wait for a replacement before I can finish it. So I'm not impressed overall ... but for the money it's a good size and I'm looking forward to using it.

I'm going to try and adapt the lift-out hatch at the end of the run and make it into a ramp for access to an extended run. But I've run out of steam for now! Not getting the chickens until after our summer holiday so there's no rush!

Haven't put the netting on yet, but at least I know the run fits on the coop!

Here's an update on the photo's. We decided to extend the run after I found another freebie supplier of the wonderful Heras fencing. This allows the rabbit to have one side and the Chooks the other. They will swap every 2 to 3 weeks so this allows the grass to come back and best of all, less grass for me to cut - yippee.

Here's mine. I basically made it up as I went along, measuring against the width of the mesh (1"x 1/2"). I painted it green to blend it in a bit (the neighbours were a bit surprised to see it pop up!). The mesh is dug down underground, even under the door, and the coated wire roof secure too.
I might put a roof on for the winter.

They love the umbrella! it was going in the skip, but gives them welcome shade and shelter from the rain. Also get's lot of comment from visitors :'clicklins' holiday camp.

I should build them a bar too, I guess
