Jem's Little Gems
Re: Jem's Little GemsHorrendous winds, driving rain and hail & 3 days of not quite fluey type illness = very slow progress. However, we have almost finished putting the mesh on. I thought it was weld mesh but it is actually plastic coated chicken wire which meand billowing wire, not nice taut wire. The more I look at it, the more I hate it! Really need to get some chooks in quickly so I don't think about how awful it looks
Should be finished tomorrow, weather permitting. Shame it's Christmas next week, will interfere with my chook shopping No girls at the moment but look forward to getting more in the future. Proud mummy to Hector, a Bedlington Terrier x Jack Russell

Re: Jem's Little GemsWell, the run was finally finished on Boxing Day thanks to my long-suffering hubby! It's a terrible time of year for buying chooks so I have been resigned to a bit of a wait.
However, hubby got the bit between his teeth today and found somewhere very local so off we went for a look... 6 chooks are now getting used to their hastily 'dressed' run! They are only babies and quite nervy so I sat in with them for a while then left them to it. I went out later and they had found their beds and settled down for the night! I am soo chuffed! Yay, finally my diary has some chickens in it! No girls at the moment but look forward to getting more in the future. Proud mummy to Hector, a Bedlington Terrier x Jack Russell
Re: Jem's Little GemsThe weather here has been horrendous and the girls have pretty much kept to themselves inside the shed. They are still very nervy but I have not had time to spend much time with them today as we had visitors. They got some lovely long, feathery carrot tops this afternoon which went down a treat. Will spend some time in the run tomorrow so they can start getting used to me. So happy to have chooks again & can't wait till their individual characters and personalities start to show!

Re: Jem's Little GemsBeautiful girls! You must be overjoyed. There's one thing missing from your run i think - a chair/bench!
I hope it's waterproofed with this awful weather we're having? Karen

Re: Jem's Little GemsChair will be going in today Karen! No waterproofing unfortunately but there is a sunshade to go over a third of it - not sure what use it will be but may help a little.

Re: Jem's Little GemsGot the 'sunshade' on today so will see whether it keeps any rain out or not. Chair is in position I bought them a sprout stalk from the farm shop but they weren't very sure what to do with it, bless them! I was going to hang it up but am short of strong enough twine and didn't want it falling off and braining them!!

Re: Jem's Little GemsWhen I went out this afternoon they had had a good go at the sprouts - phew! I need the wind and rain to tittle off so I can spend a bit more time with them now, little cuties
