  • Plan B...

    ...time to abandon Plan A, which was to re-site the two hen runs, put down paving for a hard floor and cover with clear plastic to keep the worst of the rain out.
    OK, so Plan B, for those whom life overtakes at times is this - put a gazebo up in the run that they are in. This might prove a tad tricky but I'm going to give it a go!!!

    I must have missed the original Plan A!

    Is this just to winter proof the runs a wee bit for the heavy rainfall during winter?

      The gazebo idea should work, I had an old one in the run last year. I replaced the holey cover with black plastic (a shower curtain would have done just as well) and this gave somewhere to keep the food dry and a sheltering place for the chooks - not that they ever used it!!! They all still stood out in the rain saying "I'm getting wet here, are you getting wet? Is it wet over there?" etc

        Ditto Maureen LOL!

        I put a Gazebo up for my 'Laydees' and they ate under it, and sheltered some of the time. But when there was 4 inches of snow everywhere, they spent the days out in the open playing in it!

        Whenever I picked one of them up to check them, I found they were really warm! I don't worry about them so much now

          Yay! Glad I'm not the only one to think of a gazebo, feel a bit less idiotic now! I like the idea of using a shower curtain too, there's a small area for the batts and if I could rig a shower curtain up somehow it would be great Thanks guys!
