Reading the above post - I forgot to add....we live in an urban area, although woods are just across the road....and as far as I know there are no other hen keepers in our road/local area
We do have friends who have some, but they are in the countryside, so slightly different.
My only concern...
We've been given some pallets off freecycle which we've semi dismantled but i'm not sure if I can make a coop using them? I've not done any woodwork since leaving school!!! We've also got a sapele door.....
We live in the UK, so the weather isn't as severe as some of the weather in colder...
