Well I hope you are going to construct the chicken run before you pick up the chickens!!

Yeah - I guess there is a particular order that they will have to be done. So using the above numbers, the order is going to be #1, #2 and #4 (I will do #2, while Peter is at home doing #4)and then #3.

I hope you have factored in night time temp. How old are the chickens?

Mel said...

They are 2 years old. They are from a free range egg farm - older stock that they are wanting to get rid of so that they can get some new younger stock.
Night time temp shouldn't be a problem.

and Alison - Peter had started on constructing the chicken run while I was off picking up the chickens, but because of a period of heavy rain, we ended up finishing the chook run after we got home - we just left the chooks in their cardboard box until it was ready.
