chooklady Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 We have finished the run, just in the nick of time!! 7.30pm tonight, Omlet are coming between 9.30 and 11.30 tomorrow!! Abby and I have worked so hard today. Chris finished the doors when he arrived home. The gate to the right of the run is going to have to be improved but as they won't be coming out of the run for a few days we can sort that out at the weekend. Here it is!

lisa33 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 (edited) That looks soooo Fantastic. Can you come round and do mine now. Andyman hasn't started yet. The girls will all be sitting looking at their cool new house but won't be allowed to move in. I'll email you when Omlet man leaves tomorrow so you know he's on the way.

chooklady Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 Thanks everyone (thanks Lisa, I look forward to your mail) There certainly has been some blood, sweat and tears over the last few weeks. We got off to a really good start 5 weekends ago but it's amazing how quickly time catches up with you, a couple of rainy days at the weekend and you get so far behind! As you can see from the time I am not sleeping. My legs ached so much last night and it's not because I'm usually lazy! They still ache now and I've been awake since 4am so I've had a cup of tea and a couple of Nurofen! I would say I'd go back to bed but hubby will be getting up in half and hour so it's a case of Tuesday starts here I think. Abby and I are taking the dog out at 8 so he's not too hyper when they arrive. Then we are off to buy the other 4 chooks as soon as they have gone. We will leave the others in peace for an hour so to calm down and get used to their new home. I will post some photos later of our feathered friends.

Jules. Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Lovely run. Having had help making my own run I now appreciate all the hard work that goes into them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkisland Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Lovely run! Have just shown it to my husband who is in the process of building ours, and he was impressed. We have been beset by problems with ours, dreadful weather firstly, and then the realisation that the ground where we plan to site the run is on a slope and 16" higher at one end than the other. We have a deadline of 5th September to meet, so fingers crossed for some decent weather between now and then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chooklady Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 The floor covering is 8 bags of wood chip from B&Q and a bale of Hemcore. They seem to like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
