chickenlicken123 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I just wanted to say a big hello and thank you to all posters because I've been sneakily looking at the website for a few months now and have taken on board lots of advice from you all without you knowing! I am a lucky girl, having a wonderful husband build me a lovely big run and given in to me having an eglu with 3 lovely girls. He's been out in all weathers since Christmas and I'm so happy with it - I hope you can see the pictures. I've got the chicken keeping bug already and hope they warm to us as much as we have warmed to them! It seems a really friendly board and hope I can give advice as and when I learn the answers!

chelsea Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 that run is fab it looks ever so neat and tidy - you obviously dont have any "hemcore kickers" in your flock?!! I love the little garden feature in the middle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenlicken123 Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 Well I'd like to say he didn't moan one jot when doing it but I'd be lying! All worth the blood, sweat and tears though. I cheated and took the photo of the run before the girls arrived - they are indeed hemcore kickers and proud of it I think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire B Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Hello and welcome Congratulations on your run it looks great. Your DH might have moaned but at least he attempted it for you and did a great job, mine didn't even try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Hello and welcome. What a work of art. The little garden feature is very pretty. I completely misread the phrase "hemcore kickers" and thought it said "hemcore knickers" Bearing in mind that someone on the forum is after a chicken nappy, I thought you had devised an intriguing garment along similar lines. I must stop speed reading. Your hens are lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 What a beautiful run . Why do so many people have such obliging & capable OHs . Mine doesn't know one end of a screwdriver from the other . I'm so envious I think I might have to go on a woodwork evening class . Rant over, welcome to the forum Chickenlicken123. You have some very pretty girls there - lovely and fluffy . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenlicken123 Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 I'm not sure I want to join the board now, you've all got knickers on the brain!!!! No s"Ooops, word censored!" that, I think I'll fit in well with you mad lot! The girls are settling in well, the dogs have finally stopped barking, they just circle the run lion like but the Hetty, Bertha and Freda don't seem to mind that now. I've seen Bertha and Freda sitting on the hemcore for a short time, is this an indication of possible imminent eggs or are they bored do you think? Thanks for all your compliments, I'll pass them on to my husband, will make his already large head bigger!

missuscluck Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hi Laura and welcome to this addictive forum. Eglutine, me 4, I thought it said Hemcore Knickers too. I wonderd if it was to do with hemcore sticking to their feather bloomers. Your run looks really lovley and so do your chooks. Happy hen keeping!!
