Paul, thanks for the tip about a piece of lino for easy cleaning, very helpful!
Hilary, they are all by far & away the cheapest I could find ready-made. Sure I could make it myself for less but I'm not skilled like that so these are, I feel, fantastic value - some of the houses & runs I have been looking at are around the £700 mark!
Also, I have kept chickens before for years and we always let them out in the afternoons for a scratch around, why are you "not sure" about this?
Thanks,

It sounded as if you meant they were going to be let out when someone got home from work (I couldn't think why else not let them out all day) and that has drawbacks, because it may be getting close to 'bedtime' most of the year.
Yeah, I am something of a cheapskate with these things, because I tend to include the price of accommodation in working out how much the eggs are going to cost<g> Chickens will put up with remarkably 'bodged' accommodation.....
