children playhouse conversion!

[Knock Kneed Hen]

If it's only 7 yrs. old it wouldn't have lead paint on it. Just give it a spiffy new coat and make it comfy!

Well done easton coop, that's a great job.

I'm in the UK too, but I prefer BYC to the chicken sites over here.......!!

I hope you get your hens very soon but they are more expensive here than in the US (especially if you like the rarer breeds). I love Dorkings & they are not too easy to find. In the end I raised mine from eggs which I put under my White Plymouth Rock broody hen...........she's a great mama....!!

Good luck to you & have a great summer!

Looks great! You are off to a great start! One question though - is your run closed on top, or open? If closed, how do you hope to get in there to clean up? If open, what predators do you have in your area that might be a worry? 'Round here we've got large hawks (a family of which just happens to nest across the street - you don't think my plump juicy girls had anything to do with that, do you?) that I have to watch out for.

Thank you! yes, the coop is closed, but I have a door to get in an out. We don't have too much to worry about, just badgers and foxes so that's why it's enclosed.

This coop is lovely! How come chicks are so expensive there?
