Looks smashing Kaz. Those chickens are going to be in 5 star, luxury accomodation!

 

(Just a thought, but can you get the run door open from there)

[kazaddress]

lol.. year there is loads of room at the back (we double checked)

 

I hope the chickens like it

[Mrs Frugal]

Congratulations Kaz! It looks terrific in your garden! Very snazzy. Can't wait to see the hens that are going in it!

[Guest]

You have such a beautiful garden, it puts my mud bath to shame!

 

The flowery eglu looks perfect, I'd better not let my chooks see the photos or they'll be wanting to come down!!!

 

When do you get your girls?

[AnnieP]

Looks Brilliant!! Well done Kaz! (and boys of course)

lol. yeah i must admit that Si did all the hard work.. I just did the ordering about (and making tea)

 

It's a shame i have a broken knee, else i could have been as knee deep in mud like him *snigger*.

 

 

 

Isn't it strange how things pan out sometimes

 

was sitting her trying to find some veg to go with the chilli (veg delivery is not till tomorrow morning).. I look through the veg patch, but nothing is ready yet..

 

just then there is a knock on the door, and our neighbour hands over a carrier bag of runner beans.. asking if we want some as he has a glut from his veg patch....

 

 

we were chatting in the garden with him, and stood looking at the huge pile of dirt which has formed due to making space for the chicken run...

 

were were saying that we did not know what to do with it, and he said that our other neighbour was after top soil for his garden..

 

we popped over to our other neighbour, who said he would be delighted to have the top soil.. so that was great...

 

was chatting to the second neighbour about the damsons... and talking about the fact i burnt my damson jam.. and how we picked all the damsons so not going to have any jam this year.... then he turned around and said we could pick the fruit from his damson tree's as he never uses it anyway...

 

 

lol

 

some days just everything goes wrong.. its nice when its the other way around for a change

Sounds like you've had a really good day Kaz!

[Nicola H]

Sounds like you had a good day Kaz.............Hope to see some chooks in the Eglu soon I bet you can't wait..... Then you will be able to swap eggs for Runner beans and Damsons, good luck..

Lovely photos Kaz.

 

Lovely garden Kaz.

[motherhen]

Well all the Qs I put in the 'tapping fingers thread' have been answered - and how. It looks great Kaz - really strange seeing it in a different place and who are the lovely guys in the photos?

 

With all the space in your garden, 3 hens should be fine - quite a few people have 3 hens living happily in their mark 1s. I'm sure they'll be posting to tell you to go for it and rescue a third hen

[Lesley]

Kaz - our six frequently split two and four to a Mark 1 eglu at bedtime and also in the winter we have had five in one eglu and even all six one night.

 

Three rescue hens will be no problem as long as they all arrive at the same time so go for it!

[kazaddress]

oh thats great news. I bet it seems odd motherhen

 

I think we have set it up in the best spot.. the tree's really will protect it from the weather, and will ive it some shade from the sun also!

 

im hoping to hear back from the battery hen lady (she said she would call this weekend, but i did not hear from her *fingers crossed*)

 

 

more photo's as and when i take them

[Popcorn]

and even all six one night.

 

Come on Lesley - confession time! why were all six in one Eglu again?
