What sort of housing/run do you have for your chickens? I'm particularly interested in arks and where you got them from! Thanks! Mine is a homemade one, you can see it on my blog, here

Sorry TS - lots of lovely pics of the girls and a basket of eggs but can't seem to find one of your run?

We've got an Eglu Cube & run but DH has got all interested all of a sudden and seems to be plotting something more permanent and luxury ladened for our three hens!

Oh, sorry, you have to go into 2007, and then scroll down to the oldest posts.

I like the extra bit at the end - for a bit of extra shelter. Think I'll show your pics to DH. Would love to know what he's got in mind for ours!

The Dell from Smiths Sectional is a good-sized ark and not a bad price (I want the 'Thicket' to keep quails in). I think the 'upstairs' of the Forsham Arks often look like a bit of a squeeze for larger hens.

I'm just off to build a new run to attach to the broody coop as my clever Silver Sussex has hatched 3 chicks overnight (and there are another 5 eggs under her)!
