Already started on the greenhouse and its going to be a fine construction considering its all recycled as is the hen coop amd run. I know I have said it before but I have spent less than £30 on wood and the only othefr expence has been screws, nails and locks. ;)

Thats a proper hen house and run. Bet the hens love it in there. They have room to move and stretch their wings. Far better than the little plastic bubbles that some seem to deem ok to keep fowl in.
