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 strong netting for the top

And to help connect the two “wings” of the chook palace
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
That's not a palace , it's a castle! Foxes must be a damn nuisance . I hope the chooks show their appreciation with lots of eggs
ReplyDeleteI was out just one night and didn’t lock the chickens up

Foxes are worse than cats although many would disagree. Your chook run should be on Grand Designs!
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree. My cats have been known to go into the chicken coop and I’d often find her asleep with the chickens. And this particular cat was a excellent rabbit hunter.
DeleteAs for grand designs. I’m not too sure. I’ve seen some spectacular chicken coups on Pinterest
