Redwing Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Well this evening my most ambitious project yet got underway... A big run in the field is taking shape - not quite on the same scale as Janty's mind! The chicken house (ex kennel) has been assembled and the run will be built around it Like the first run this will be all my own work so very makeshift but this time we have a big dog fox and some bum scratching sheep to worry about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
