"Go ahead, I dare you to set forth in my run!"

LOL! I know. But he is the sweetest thing!!

Are you talking about LF or bantams?

LF...

and Sally... not a problem with muddy run, more a problem that it seems every time we let birds out to do their own exploring they find the muddiest spot ( or spot with most burrs!) to check out first! Mud isn't really much trouble otherwise.

Quote: The walls aren't going all the way up to the roof, the frame isn't centered on the floor, there is no way to clean the left side of the coop (no door) and the snow is just blowing right in through the ventilation. The plexiglass is cracked, tilted and has no way of being attached to the top, bottom, or right side of the wall.
Now I have to add lips over the ventilation, and unscrew (I used screws in case something had to be changed. Yeay me!) a few walls to straighten them, and fasten them securely to the frame. The only reason it wasn't done before he got home was that I am afraid of his power tools and holding boards while trying to fasten them on is hard alone. It is a quick fix to be honest. I am just upset that I didn't stand firm in my decision.
Beaglady, please ignore my ranting. Please!
