Hi folks
Not had any chickens for a few months now, but once you get the bug..... So, new coop, new run and (in a couple of weeks), new chickens. I thought I�d share a few photos with you. The run is 2m x 5m in addition to the coop, and the girls will free range in the rest of the garden most days, (or what�s left of it, after the last lot of chooks). I�ve just finished fox proofing the rest of the garden too, much to the annoyance of the cat who now has to find another way out. The chicken run fence extends a good couple of feet below ground on all sides and has a wet weather shelter at the end. The green shallow tub in the shelter will be for a dust bath/sand pit. I've just finished installing the pop hole opener in it too. Anyone think of anything glaringly obvious I�ve missed (apart from food and water).

...love it!
A fox will easily scale a six foot wire fence or more likely get onto the roof of the coop and jump into the run.
