Hi everyone

Im so excited, my arrived today, one day early ! I will be building it at the weekend when the new run arrives from avaries 4 u. My dh has a badly broken/crushed foot (got knocked off motorbike) so I have been cooking sunday lunch for our next door neighbour for the last six weeks as payment for helping me to build them up! not bad rates I don't think!

 

It has been a good day all round as we also got a new kitten today, she is black with green eyes, we rescued her from a farm, poor thing has a bad case of worms and a few sores, so the vet loves us as the cash register rings! she is worth every penny, we have called her willow. So we now have 1 dog, 4 cats, 4 chooks and a gorgeous 7 month old baby girl!

 

Sorry for going on,just thought I would share my good day xx

You'll have to cut out some chicken shapes and pop them into the run until you get your girls on the 17th . What a lovely Christmas pressie you are going to have - yay.

Thanx guys, I am quite busy most of the time but love my wonderful family so don't mind. Willow has spent most of the day behind the dishwasher with me laying on the floor trying to persuade her to come out, we ended up getting our trusty neighbour to unscrew the kitchen etc and extract her!!! The girls have spent the day free ranging, the run arrived this morning so they will have a fab new house to play in very soon.

 

As for pics, can anyone tell a beginner how to put pics on? I have a digital camera so can put them on the computer but as from that point im stuck.

 

Im still not sure what to put down as floor covering in the run (going on blocked paving) any suggestions warmly received.

Congratulations Speckled Hen and Lesleynroy.

 

Aubiose is fab for the run.

Thanx egluntine, where do I get it from, google search doesnt help much

[quickcluck]

you can put pics on via photobucket. upload them onto their site and resize them or they will be humongous and fill the whole screen!!!! Its tricky at first but i am sure you'll soon get the hang of it!!!

 

Auboise, hemcore, easybed can be bought from most horsey type shops if that's any help and you have any locally, check your yellow pages!
