Title: query about the new run
Post by: manicscousers on June 29, 2008, 17:33:55
right, we've levelled off the land, marked out where the shed and run will be, one idea the 'lads have come up with  ???
can they flag 2' around the run so's things can't dig under or do they need wire still down to 9"
this is only because we have been given some flags  ;D

Just lay them around Maniccs Butted upto the fence you only have to bury the fence a few inch then. The fox would need a pick and spade to get in. It also looks tidy with the flags around. What sort are you getting?

I have flags on one side of mine,  a double fence on two others, and a greenhouse on the other.  All fairly secure I would like to  think. 8)

22'x 11' and an 8x4 shed, we've been told we can have 18 birds, luckily a few of the lads have experience with chickens so they can teach us  ;D
