Important - Avian Flu restrictions

[Snadger]

Thing is, about moving them to somewhere else is that it probably won't be quite as fox proof as their real home
Fortunately mine is still inside the electric fence...phew!

I have three coops and three runs joined together with popholes inbetween. All I will do is confine them to the large hut which has the perspex 'conservatory' fixed to it and block the other popholes.

^^^ That's a bit like mine, Snadge. 3 interconnected runs that can be closed off - in a L with the coop in the bend of the L. The coop area is roofed with perspex and both the other runs are covered either with pond liner or debris netting. The sides are chicken wire and small mesh.
I'll have to stop letting thechooks help me in the garden though

What do they class as wild birds?..........Blackbirds, Sparrows, Robins?

[Nicos]

I think in theory any wild bird....but it's really the migratory birds we have to worry about!
There was a sparrow trapped inside our mesh this evening
