As you can see the bottom half is now pretty much complete.
A tough wire mesh has been added to stop foxes breaking through the chicken wire. It’s not very tough
A ring of steel has been placed around the whole coup. With some on the inside. Even if a fox tried to dig under they won’t get through and probably end up with sore paws

We have worked hard all week and although it doesn’t look like it, we have progressed a long way
We have worked hard all week and although it doesn’t look like it, we have progressed a long way
There was a lot of measuring and remeasuring
And trying to get the old hoops to look more uniform and squared off took a long time
But I’m the end it’s going to look amazing
I hope the chickens appreciate all that hard work
