Thank you ....... it doesn't matter how carefully you cut that stuff ....... you ALWAYS end up with sharp edges!!!! As well as looking nicer like this, the timber battons give extra strength too the joins too!!

That's a perfect setup, and it really looks great.
Two questions:
In the first picture it looks like you're in an English neighborhood. Are you?
Why did you not use sand in the run?

Yes ...... we're in a small seaside town called Cleethorpes on the North East Coast of Lincolnshire ...... we're about a 5 minute walk from the beach

Good question given that we're so close to the beach!!! Our friends used wood chippings for their Orpingtons and they seem to have settled really well. We just copied really!! As of this weekend, our ladies will be allowed out into the full garden, so their environment will grow extensively and will be much more varied too. There'll be plenty of stuff for them to scratch at.
