bill2b Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Last night I was busy in my workshop, I had put the girls in their big run. Just about dark Mrs B called me for tea. Mrs B thought I had shut the girls in their coop I thought she had/forgot (delete as applicable) Fast forward to this morning Mrs B is shocked to see Mutha wondering around the big run. between us we had forgot to shut the coop door and lower the portcullis between the main run and the "Fox proof" smaller area. Just ordered some "F" word proof wire and will cover the big run to make it secure as well just in case we forget again, although I doubt if we will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 We've all done it. You got lucky! On a separate note that run looks superb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 That run does look awesome! Very functional too! Just a thought ... Why not grow grapes on the outside? It's the perfect shape! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill2b Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 I wish the girls thought the run is superb, as soon as they see me come home they start pacing to get out and free range Mums not as soft as me I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken shack Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I did what I thought was a head count a few weeks ago when they went to bed but when I came down in the morning one was running around the garden. I have a large WIR bill2b with dirt floor, they also FR. I worry about sanitation in the WIR, I can't poo pick as I cant see it in the dirt, I do put piles and I mean piles of dry leaves in there in the autum and next month wood chip. What do you do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill2b Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 once a week I run a rake over the outside run its very fine soil (and poo) and put it in the composter. Under one of the trees in the garden is a big pile of turf which was put there out of view when we did some patio work I get handfuls of these and fill up their blue bucket they soon turn it to dust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
