billathome65 Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Good luck with it . Looking forward to seeing your progress . Ta I am actually using your run to give me ideas. but will probably use some ply board on the bottom to keep the wind to a minimal but not fully decided yet.

billathome65 Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 Grrrrrrr I am totally cheesed off I ordered and paid for my weld mesh on the 24th May from ebay which stated 48 hour delivery but as it is the 6th June today and still no wire I checked where my order was. My order states 48 hour delivery but underneath it states " estimated delivery date 7th - 8th July??????????????????????? I am not happy I have emailed them and told them I want it by this Friday or I want my money back and I'll go elsewhere. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billathome65 Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 Just a quick update The new run is almost complete just needs the roof on now which I will be buying on Monday. I have moved the Chicken house outside the run area so giving more space for the girls and am in fact looking to add a new chuck to the clan. The girls have been very good after spending the past 3 days in very cramped quarters they are finally getting the space they deserve. Will post up pics when I have the roof on.

Plum Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Hope it stays dry then for the roofing, are you going to use the pvc sheets? I put my house outside it makes it easier to manage. Don't forget some more pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billathome65 Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 Yes Pvc roof sheets as it is outside the kitchen so need to keep the light coming in the run will have shaded areas for the chucks. Granddaughters Christening today so can't do it today. Will get the pics when its done. Cheers Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Glad to hear it's all taking shape . Looking forward to the pics . By the way, it's not always a good idea to introduce a lone hen. Some places won't even sell you a single one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billathome65 Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 The new Run picks http://www.flickr.com/photos/billathome65/ I was worrying about the lone hen thing wife said no more than 3 chucks so any suggestions ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Get a new wife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Chicken maths needed. You go and look at 'a' hen but it's mate is going to be so lonely so you had to bring her home as well. Get bantams 2 = 1 big one. Just tell your wife you are going to get a hen then call one 'a' and the other 'hen' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billathome65 Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 no its not it is a canister my daughter wants me to take to the tip I put it there out the way. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 that's very neat, I like the way you have fitted it all in. get 2 new girls; when your wife says "what's that one?" just say "this old thing? I've had it for ages" works a treat for us girlies!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
