fujcube Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Hi all, At last, after all the planning, all the preparation and a 12 hour round trip, they are here! 1st up is 'Buff', our 18 wk Buff Orpington from the Wernlas Collection Next up is Maisie, our 18 wk Light Sussex Then there is Megg, our 18 wk Cream Legbar And lastly, here's Amber, our 18 wk Rhode Island Red This is their accomodation. Still a 'work-in-progress', but you get the idea. At the top of the picture is our food store where we keep all our feed and bedding. The middle hut belongs to Oreo, our 1 yr old male Lionhead Rabbit. The nearest hut belongs to our chooks. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fujcube Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 Ok, here's the 'Big Guy', helping himself to the bird seed! He was getting on ok with the chooks, until they all moved in, to his bedrroom!!!! I did think the trip was a bit much for one day. If I do it again, I'll probably stay over somewhere. I could probably find someone a bit closer to home to buy from but the guys at Wernlas are so helpful, their birds are well looked after, it's well worth the effort.

fujcube Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 Congratulations, they're gorgeous . Your setup is amazing . I think we need more detailed photos of the whole thing, please . What photos would you like? My setup is still a 'work-in-progress' so there's not really a great deal to see. We're pretty much making it up as we go along.

cluckingmad Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 He's adorable - just looks like you could pick him up anhd snuggle him all day long!

fujcube Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 And now for the Chooks! The Chook's Hut - Phase 1, sitting on a raised deck. Here's the entrance. Taken through the entrance. Showing sleeping area and perch. From the front, showing the raised roof, window and air vents. Another shot, showing the window and air vents. Shot from above showing sleeping area, perch and eating area to the front. Showing our plastic grit containers, simply mounted on a single wire.

fujcube Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 And finally! Our dry store. This is where we keep our feed and bedding, for the moment. We built it for our dogs but they never used it. Will probably be modified at some point to house another batch of chooks or ducks. One of 2 entrance gates to our front garden. Just wait until the chooks discover that there are nice big worms under the bark. A small landscaped area where we can sit with a galss of chilled wine and watch our chooks, and rabbit!!! Oh, to live in the country Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Thanks so much for all the photos . It all looks fabulous and so clean and tidy . Did they come as kits and you adapted them or did you design them yourself? (Sorry if I missed it if you've already told us that!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
