Reading the DEFRA Guidance for Higher Risk Areas like yours, I think you can have chooks but they must be in a netted run that wild birds cannot enter. I'm guessing that your run will be netted (wire) anyway. The smaller diameter wire netting is the most secure.Comment

Lottie, I bought some wire netting last year from https://www.meshdirect.co.uk/
It'll give an idea of the cost and what's available.Comment

Before you put the roof on have you treated the inside? I think that maybe you have from looking at your pictures but wasn't sure so thought i'd ask!
Sloshing some creocote around the inside will help reduce pests in the future and before you fix the roof on it would be easier to reach inside to paint it and to let it dry and air out properly...Comment

Advice on chicken wire please,i was going to get the 1/2 inch mesh 22g,but looking at the 1 inch it is a thicker wire at 20g,so what would your advice be please,
I plan on making panels the width of the wire,then simply screw together,1 at a time,like fencing,will be a lot easier for me to handle,plus i can cut the lengths of wood so it will fit in the car,there is plenty down the lottie,the only things i have to spend money on are,wire,a few screws,paint,stapler and a nice bit off new wood for the 2 perches
