i went exploring chooks, chickens and poultry on ebay and found a chook run extension.
i checked out the prices and descriptions and bid for it and it duly arrived yesterday.
Ross must have been home as it was inside when i got home last night and bright and early i was up constructing my run.
The construction and materials werent as good as the bunnings chook coop but i wasnt expecting them to be considering the price and the feedback on the ebay site but it was remarkably easy to put up by myself and the chooks will enjoy it during the week while i am at work.
ross seems to have taken over the middle of the day letting them out and in again in the evening.
they are exploring further around the front garden and are chasing off the sparrows from the bird seen on the ground. hopefully the native birds which are larger will put up a better fight.
i have been back on ebay and bought an upright bird feeder and drinker so that their water will last longer and the feed will be above the ground and hopefully away from the mice. will probably be delayed in delivery due to easter but we will see.
All we have to do now is await the arrival of our first eggs in about a month and also hopefully the arrival of more rescue chooks from the vet school.
