Hi peeps , Was wondering who I'd be best calling to do a roof on my chicken run ( roofer or joiner ) I've emailed a couple of both but no replies yet I really don't have the time to do it myself due to work commitments at the moment and due to really bad weather it's like a swamp in the run now...

Yes there are plenty of sawmills around and woodchip bark is very cheap here.. Just I read it molds very easy in bad weather?

Hi everyone I stay in Scotland and I need help ASAP I have put my girls and they're coop down the side of my house so they have free range of the whole side of my house , the problem is recently we have had really heavy heavy rain and the run is not under cover yet so it's now just a muddy wet...

Welcome to BYC it's an awesome site with lots of help and advice :) I'm new to keeping the chickens and this place has been invaluable to myself..I only have girls to as I don't think the neighbours would be to chuffed lol I'm in sunny (aye right) wishaw Lanarkshire Your girls look great :)

Also I know this will sound silly but where will I leave her in the cage? Outside the coop? I stay in Scotland and it's not the warmest of places lol or in my garage? Just no breeze in there?

I'm worried about her hurting / stressing her out :( I have watched a couple of YouTube videos and it seems fine but being new at this I'm probably just over worrying lol thanks for the advice

Today I let my girls as per first thing and they seemed fine but about two hours later I popped out to see / chat to them and notice one of the lady's was in the coop just sitting where she usually lays so thought oh she must be laying but when I popped out again about an hour later she was...
