with some help it took me 1 month to finish it...

but as i said earlier on i refitted an already existing building that i havent been using in my farm...

first enlarged the indoor space for the light sussex section whic also required the roofing... then divided the already existing indoor space i was using for my previous flock into 2 and created 2 indoor spaces for the polish and the cochins...(just a seperation with the two with brick wall)...

brahma section was already in the building but just added the chicken doors...

then custom ordered the wooden roosters ...dividedn the runs on the main side to 3 ..one for each light sussex, polish and the cochins..

brahmas got their seperate run...

hard wiring used...in the runs...river sand is used ... due to the sloping of the runs created sets of bricks so that the chickens wont pull the sand to one corner of the run...

painted the walls..inside and outside...floors as well with lime and chlorine mix...

added wood shavings as the bedding material...lamps in all of the 4 indoor spaces...

got the brinsea ova easy 190 incubator...

all of these from star to finish took 1 month...

now flock has arrived...i am on to the next project to mix my own feed...

I don't think people mean anything bad about it...it's just such an awesome job it puts many professional exhibits to shame...BE PROUD of your accomplishment- it's the best I've ever seen!

It is just so beautiful. I love the stone archway. You should be very proud of yourself(ves) for such a wonderful job.
