My Majesty made for him a garden anew in order to present to him vegetables and all beautiful flowers.- Offerings of Thutmose III to Amon-Ra (1500 BCE)
Looks a bit flimsy to me. Doubt it would hold up to the strong winds we've been having. And the roof looks suspiciously like it has roofing felt on it!
We didnt use roofing felt as my first season showed that red mite would be an issue so after hearing that red mite can live in them, we didnt want any excuse for them to hide
Why is roofing felt a bad idea/ Does it harbour pests?
Yes, the nasty little critters breed underneath it and then swarm out and gorge on our lovelies during the night.
Another reason for me to get rid of roofing felt is that water has been puddling on it and when I brush it off (with a brush) I usually manage to scrape the skin off my knuckles too

Anyway, it's only a hexagon, and Snadger's is an octagon, far better. Also I bet Snadger's is still standing this time next year, but I wouldn't put money on the ebay one. Trouble is it looks cute and is ridiculously cheap so I bet loads of people who desperately want chickens will end up with one of these for Christmas and will be horribly disappointed when it isn't up to the job.
Into each life some rain must fall........but this is getting ridiculous.
