oooo ooooo ooooo can somebody find the link please? I'd forgotten about that one and it'd be good to resurrect it for the newbies (as well as the oldies) who might want to "do something" in this miserable weather You can't have too many coops

[janeyo]

Very exciting - remember if you are going to paint the coop wth a preservative it needs time to dry out properly before the chooks arrive

Hope that works!

soo exciting. get the camera charged & ready, can't wait for the pics

[MaureenHall]

Thanks for the link I've bookmarked it now. I thought it might come in handy for if I ever have a broody hen who'd need a bit of her own space - could call it a maternity wing

[Flummery]

Looking forward to the pictures - what are you getting Mrs C?

I wish to register a complaint!!! HOW long has it taken you to build this run? My chooks were in a series of temporary runs for weeks while OH mucked about making the large one. Do you think I should trade him in for a faster model?

Be very thankful he does it at all! I have to book my OH for ANY allotment jobs and then it's with great reluctance! He subscribes to the "Gardens were made to be swept" school of gardening - as long as someone else does the sweeping of course!
