The BIG REBUILD

As you will know Chickenopolus has been plagued with foxes, most of my original birds have now been gobbled up by Mr Fox and his family, it got to the stage where i very nearly closed the whole thing down, but I enjoy it so much, SO I have made my mind up to keep going !!!

Today we start building the new fence, and in the coming weeks new houses and individual pens for breeding birds too, the old shed/house will be going to a friends ( his dad wants them ) ..
I am going to build using straw bales, the reason is they are environmentaly friendly and i got a great price on 50 bales hehehe, they will be warm in the winter and cool in the summer, so keep watching this space for the developments, I hope to get some photos on here in the next few days..

BATTERY HENS

I have just collected 20 battery hens, they are great and in very gopod condition, the lot I got last year were very poor, this lot look fine, and are eating and drinking as soon as i put the troughs down, I will add some photos asap
