Chooks re-housed.........

[Snadger]

And not a day too late as the temperature in the greenhouse soared today!
Light Sussex cockerel is a teddy bear and went first. Rest of chooks followed one by one but took a heck of a lot of catching.

Anyway, here's a few piccies.

1 Full setup including hexycoop
2 Recent coop and run
3 Inside coop (shed)
4 All present and correct

Grand total was £2.50 for a packet of staples. Rest was constucted from pallets, a derelict hut and scrounged wiremesh!

Lookin' good Snadge! Don't ya just love recyclin'?

Looks great snadger - we can go 1 better though, when we built the new turkey run we did it with scraps of wood scrouged from skips and freecycle and we got the mesh from a guy on freecycle - propper security grade mesh so good and stong, he used it to hold in his rotties. BUT we didn;t even have to buy the staples, when he removed the mesh he carefully took out every staple and popped then in a box so we had those too!!

Freecycle was a fab invention, saves so much stuff going to the tip, just cos you don't want it anymore doesn't mean its not of use!

Jealous though Snadge - your coops look all smart and freshly painted - I really need to get around to doing ours!

[Flummery]

You've been a busy boy! They look really good and strong.

WOW Snadge! Wicked! What a super set up. Lucky chooks. Now if you lived closer to me................you'd have a jobs list a mile long!

Don't know how you do it all Snadger. Do you get any time at all to sit in the directors chair in the the first piccie?

Must admit, after a month of banging and clattering it was nice on Saturday to drag a table to the chair and spend almost a full day in the sun doing a bit of gardening..........ie potting up toms and peppers and sowing loads of seeds! (got sunbunt on my left shoulder for my troubles!)

[RedThorn]

Looking good there Snadge!

[tlck9]

looks good!

[lettucegrow!]

That looks fantastic- you must be really pleased with all your hard work.Really impressed that it only cost £2.50 (wont tell you what mine cost- I don't like to think about it!!. Move the decimal point two places to the right .) Impressed with your recycling skills.
Know what you mean about enjoying some gardening- it's hard ****** graft this home made chook house lark,and takes alot longer than originally planned.:
