Chicks doing well
« on: May 06, 2012, 07:24:59 pm »
Well - In March I posted up here that my hen was broody. In April I posted up here that six out of seven eggs had hatched.

Now I bring you...... THE CHICKEN RUN!!!

We have had our chicks in a rabbit hutch and run for the past two or three weeks. We decided to build a series of small chicken pens (5 x 6m) so that we could have a broody pen and cockerel a pen (when the time comes).... and possible put our laying hens in a third one to give the orchard a rest.

So - here it is in all its wonky glory!!!

(Edited this morning because DH "forgot" to put up the pic of the home made pens)
