Chicken Drumsticks Diary ..
Re: Chicken Drumsticks 2013 Diary ..Put the Chicken Gym in today
Straight on it before i had even finished it , also got the Garden back to how it was . Not finished yet.... i have a number of other ideas like a detachable extention for the summer leading to the Garden . One of the younger two , bottom of the pecking order but the one most likely to lay ?? due to the comb getting red ? Got some diy nesting boxes in there today but never seen an egg of my lot yet not that it matters.. Added this as well . The logs from the conifer hedge i removed to fit the run in , i screwed some take away containers to them and just drop in another on top so i a remove and wash...
Re: Chicken Drumsticks 2013 Diary ..That looks fantastic! Brill idea with the takeaway containers. I wondered about cleaning them until you said about dropping another one inside! Your girls look like they approve of their new obstacle course

Re: Chicken Drumsticks 2013 Diary ..Fab Pics! Crossing my fingers you get an egg soon , youve definitely earned an egg as a thankyou
Great idea with the takeaway containers too : free and easily replaced Re: Chicken Drumsticks 2013 Diary ..hi Chicken drumsticks. Beautiful runs you make! Lucky hens!! Now all they need is a luscious cockerel to wow them! Or did I mean woo/ . No, wow.

Re: Chicken Drumsticks 2013 Diary ..Still no eggs everyone ..lol..
Been messing again and i am extending the run . Third change in what 6-7 weeks , but a bit more shrub and soil removal (plus a bit more cash) and it makes sense to make the most of the space on the L/H side of the Garden . The nosey one ....watching to see what is going on , plus eating all the worms from the dig out i gave her ..lol This area will add approx 5 m2 to the 8.25 m2 run Got a nice piece of willow trunk from a job at work i logged up the rest ...if anyone local wants a piece like this for there run if i get anymore you are welcome to them if i get anymore , i cut this one for the size of the run It will give height to the run without taking up any floor space so should be a good addition to the run . I have a number of ideas to improve everything (serial messer) it will keep the ladies and me entertained at least
Re: Chicken Drumsticks 2013 Diary ..Its looking great CD
Your girls are very lucky to have their own state of the art gym, they will be organising chicken olympics before long, and now 007 Gwen Hen has her own diary the news will spread like wildfire and they will all be putting in planning permission for an extension for a health club Lindaxx And then there was one, Again!!!!

Re: Chicken Drumsticks 2013 Diary ..Done the extension now , another wallet emptier ..lol..
I put the log up the other end in the corner so they have more floor space , as in another post i have covered the floor in dry leaves ............ Lastly , i let them out for an hour while i was in the Garden ..... The next job is fitting a pop hole (a proper one) and adding a auto door opener for the morning , i have a cunning DIY plan The cunning plan is not cunning enough to be able to auto close it ..lol.. but just opening it up auto in the morning will be a ggod start and should cost nothing as i have the stuff to hand Re: Chicken Drumsticks 2013 Diary ..It looks brilliant, I am really enjoying your work in progress Who is the indignant lady watching her sister scoffing all the treats?

Re: Chicken Drumsticks 2013 Diary ..Hi Sandy
The chook watching i have not named her , she is one of the two young Point-of-Lay chooks i got from cheshire chickens to mix with the 3 ex bats . She is the most out going Hen and the best natured and is last in the pecking hence waiting her turn but i always hand feed her with treats so she does not miss out Re: Chicken Drumsticks 2013 Diary ..Wow, it's a Hen Palace! lucky chooks! Lovely, lovely, lovely
Am a bit and a lot impressed!
Re: Chicken Drumsticks 2013 Diary ..Picking up three more ladies tomorrow from a local breeder , all vaccinated and wormed and at point of lay but i guess will be around 25 week plus old .
2 x light sussex and either a bluebell or magpie (probably the bluebell)
Re: Chicken Drumsticks 2013 Diary ..Its all coming on a treat Drummy youre girls are in 5 star accommodation
Cant wait to see pics of your new girls , they all look happy and healthy youre doing a grand job !
Re: Chicken Drumsticks 2013 Diary ..That looks like a lot of fun and interest for them.
I always pick up any interesting tree branches, if I see a fallen one when I'm out and about, so I can put them in the run to give the girls a bit of variety. Life's too short to quarrel
