I really like that. did you build it yourself?
The hen house is from an online supplier in the UK, is exceptionally well built and has an automatic pop hole opener. It is nearly ten years old now and has virtually no signs of wear and tear but it cost the equivalent of $800.
The run, we had built for us, to our specs, originally to house a pair of rabbits in each half. Sadly, we lost one pair of bunnies, six months apart, last year, so decided it was about time for chooks. Again, it is exceptionally well built, with wire dug into the ground internally, a wire skirt buried around the perimeter, a fully wired floor, covered by very heavy duty weed suppressant, and a fully wired roof to keep out over-head predators....but it did cost us the equivalent of $2750.
So, it is fab to have the facility and I know it will last us many, many years into the future but it came at a price. We could have saved money if we'd built the run ourselves, I guess, but it wouldn't have been as well built and would have been a major pain....as it is, the two chaps that built it, broke TWO augers trying to dig the holes for the supporting posts as our ground in that area is packed hard and full of rocks!
