Hi all, bit of an update!

One nest box down, one to go

Just have to put a bolt on it to stop it falling open and put the shed felt on and it's done.

Best news is that i should be getting the keys to my new house on friday, so it will be go go go!

Could of fooled me, your coop looks great so far. I love the knotty pine look

Yeah, it looks great! I love the drawer for cleaning out the bedding!

Nice work!

Some more update piccys, so very nearly there now

Thoughts on the roosting bars would be appreciated, thinking i might need one more lower down to help the little dears up to the higher ones, was going to try and see if they could do it without first though.......clever chucks.

Just have to put in some ventilation holes in the front panel and fill the gaps from the slanted roof. Oh and have decided to go with a clear wood preserver, want to keep my nice pine look.

Under a little bit of pressure now as the house move is on the 10th Oct, once i have the keys there are far more important jobs (apparently) to be done, like ripping the bathroom suite out etc (boring

)

Once in the house, i shall be measuring the garden up and having a two run system, so that the grass gets to rest every other week. Again stole the idea from a chap at the allotment i went to the other week.

Have a good weekend.
