Lorax Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Finally it's up. Dp had to raise the level of one part of the ground, do some brick laying (long story), lay some paving and now it's up. How long, do you think, before we have to put in alternative flooring? (As in because it'll turn to mud?) The run is about 5m x 3m and we have four hybrids. I cannot upload pics (really don't know why) otherwise I would! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken bark Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 If it has a roof on it hopefully it won't turn into mud. These tasks can throw up the odd challenge can't they? Glad you have got it now. Sounds like a good size too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorax Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Ah. No roof. Half the run is covered by a tree and fixing a roof is not impossible, but not straightforward so we were going to see if we could do without. Bad idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I managed for about 6 months, but when it rained it turned into a total mud puddle so every time I walked in I got covered in mud and so did the chickens! This was rare though and managed fine, but put a roof on the other day and love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorax Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 We may well do that in the end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 We may well do that in the end! well you're sorted for now! you can review the situation when the weather gets worse, and maybe you can roof just a bit of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
