The Chicken Run

by Jennie Wadsworth

I think the last time I blogged I promised I would keep people up to date with our chicken run progress. We didn't manage to get any timber or chicken wire donated so had to go out and buy everything we need. This has probably cost as much as buying a chicken run and coop to just put up but what we will end up with will be bigger and our own creation so will make us (and my dad) proud. We have made a door that fits and opens inside a frame which is now attached to the wall of the garage. We have added some pieces of wood to support the walls and roof and have been fighting this weekend with long rolls of chicken wire to make said walls and roof. We are a bit scratched and have bumped our heads a few times but things are coming on and we can see how it is going to look. Our next hurdle is to make sure the garage door still opens when the chicken run roof is fully on and then we need to make a start on the coop.
