Space Chick Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 The double inner doors sounds like a great idea Debs - are you planning on having lots of chickens? Simple answer - YES! I have my 3 girls now, I'm getting 4 from Wernlas once my WIR is finished, and I have committed to the BHWT that I will take 3 ex-batts in September, so its a case of Introducing, integrating and then the same all over again It seemed a logical decision as it can be an intro area or a sick pay area. MitchB - your run is looking fabulous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atsw Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Wow, I've clearly not been paying enough attention recently . Janty, your run is really something else, almost chicken keeping on an industrial scale . Your chooks must think they're in chicken heaven . And MitchB, also a wonderful run, very similar in size to mine, which I'm still sooooo pleased with. As ANH said somewhere in this thread, the best money I've ever spent on the chooks. The double doors idea that DebsL has employed is a great innovation. I've just had to add a separator in my WIR, as Di is currently sitting on six Light Sussex eggs. I've used an old expandable fire-guard to go across with a tarpaulin above it to stop any chooks jumping over. The old girls will be able to see the (hopefully ) new arrivals, which should make the eventual integration a lot easier. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very easy to get carried away with digital cameras isn't it? . I took 71 while mine was being built. They are all still available in my on-line slideshow.
