Spoiled hens... with pics!

[bluerose]

So this morning my dad and I finished putting up a(nother) fence for the hens. They weren't getting out to free-range much because they have discovered that it's fun to dig in the landscaping

. So, we put up a fence between 'landscaped yard' and 'un-landscaped yard' (aka chicken-land) and now my 4 hens have a Tiki Hut for a coop, a big run with a jungle gym and bushes to hide in, and now the run of half of the backyard which is currently covered in weeds. And the pile of mulch, and the leaf piles, and....


Pics below!

Ask, and ye shall receive!

Bit pic-heavy though, so warnings to those on dial-up.

Tiki Hut (rather, Chicken Castle, island style... complete with moat from when they nearly flooded out):

Views of Chickendom:

from inside the run:

Jungle gym (built from downed branches, the pic doesn't do it justice):

Hide-and-go-seek (and fly over squawking) bushes:

Coop from side/rear:

And, of course, the inhabitants!

CUTE! You do have spoiled girls. They look like they enjoy it, though.
