Eggciting news! The weldmesh roof is now on the chicken run!
DH put it on today, and now he can measure up and order the plastic sheeting to go on top. This will keep the rain off in the wet weather, but the sheets can be taken out if it's really sunny.
I've ordered the Hemcore for the base, it'll arrive a few days before the chickens do. I've also been sorting out stuff to put inside the Run for the chickens to play with. I've got some small branches to make perches, and some large branches which will sit on the run floor. I've got a large shallow Tubtrug to use as a dustbath, just need to sort out what to fill it with.
