[Misc] Anyone keep chickens? WTAF did I agree to it?

That, my dear sir, is exactly the analogy I shall henceforth use when describing the lengths to which I’ve gone to keep predators and rodents out. Brilliant!

Would you say you're enjoying having hens more than when you started the thread?

I hadn’t realised you were actually going today; we should have had a beer together. Yes, it was fantastic - we came away with a dozen plants and bought a sculpture which we’re expecting to be delivered any minute. Did you enjoy?

The run is hand built from scratch. The coop is this one (with the addition of auto opening and closing doors):

Long-Legged Maggie's Dozen Hen House

Yes we went this morning, straight to cafe for fab cake and tea, gotta get in early as queues are horrendous .
Always enjoy going there, as it's a beautiful place to visit.
The house has a lot of history, priest holes and tunnels for starters, no euphemism intended
We're going to the dahlia festival later on in August, that's very good

Blimey. Your cock can reach your knee.

I never knew this was unusual

Yep! Yet again, the good doctor her indoors was right.

Missed this thread when it started….well done on your venture …a customer of mine had chickens and i spent half the time of my scheduled visits trying to recapture the fekers….your henhouse/enclosure look top notch …have to say i wasnt keen on clipping their wings either..or cleaning out the muck….however the eggs were definitely far tastier than those i bought
